Who We Are:
Resy is the American Express global dining platform. Our mission is to power the world’s best restaurants, using technology to imagine the future of hospitality. We serve 5,000 restaurants globally.

The Engineering Organization:
As part of our diverse tech team, you will architect, code, and ship software that makes us an essential part of our customers’ digital lives. Here, you will work alongside talented engineers in an open, supportive, inclusive environment where your voice is valued, and you make your own decisions on what tech to use to solve challenging problems. We offer a range of opportunities to work with the latest technologies and encourage you to back the broader engineering community through open source. And because we understand the importance of keeping your skills fresh and relevant, we give you dedicated time to invest in your professional development.
The Role:
We are looking for a highly experienced, self-motivated Android Engineer to work on our consumer-facing Android app. We require strong technical skills and creativity; someone who enjoys solving tough problems and working with innovative technologies. You should not be shy about sharing ideas and expressing opinions about user experience and beautiful code. We welcome perfectionism at a healthy dose, being obsessive about the quality of your work, while supporting a work-life balance that is enabled by empowering our team to manage their own workload.
By joining the Resy Mobile Team at American Express, you will have the best of both worlds; you will enjoy working in a fast-paced, small-team environment, along with the stability and long-term career growth opportunity that comes with working at a Fortune 100 company. Your primary responsibility will be to work with a small team of designers, product owners, QA, and engineers developing and improving features. You should be familiar with modern software development methodologies popular in Android and be able to deep dive and rapidly iterate on ideas with your team despite some ambiguity.
What You’ll Do:
Work within our product teams to design, estimate, and build new features
Quickly distill product requirements into tangible engineering tasks
Produce high-quality, well-documented, and well-tested code
Help shape our engineering culture by coming up with ideas, tools, and infrastructure wherever you see a problem to be solved
Explore new technologies in the restaurant and hospitality industry
Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to establish and drive the product vision
Who You Are:
You have extensive experience with Kotlin, Compose, and Coroutines
You have a great understanding of one or more software architecture patterns, preferably MVVM
You have demonstrated skills in delivering high-quality code that is well-documented, well-tested, and highly maintainable
You have experience working with designers and product managers
You keep up to date with the state-of-the-art of Android development
You are willing to learn new technologies and you effectively use them
You have a strong sense of responsibility and ownership for your own work
You enjoy offering help and are not shy about seeking help
To put it simply: you care. You care about your work, your codebase, your app, your career growth, your team’s culture and future, and our collective efforts in building world-class software in a world-class engineering team!
How You Will Make an Impact in This Role:
Build Android applications with an eye for detail and excellence
Use dependency management and build tools such as Gradle and Github Actions
Proactively find and fix bugs
Do performance analysis and optimization
Understand the pyramid of testing and know how and when to use unit, integration, and UI tests
Design solutions for open ended problems
Collaborate with designers and product managers, and give them feedback to help achieve intuitive UX with pixel-perfect UI and polished animations
Help your teammates by reviewing their pull requests, answering their questions, unblocking them when they are stuck
Create opportunities to brainstorm, share different perspectives, and seek different opinions to help achieve the best possible engineering solution
Look beyond what is on your plate for the active sprint and pay attention to what others in your own team and the larger engineering organization is building
Keep an eye on what is coming down the pipeline on the roadmap and get a good grasp of the company and product vision
Minimum Qualifications:
7+ years of software development experience
4+ years of Android development experience
