Hybrid Working

在星城，我们有一种混合的工作方式——我们更喜欢你的位置在离我们办公室不远的地方，这样我们就能亲自交流和合作. We don't like to mandate how much you visit the office and work from home, that's to be agreed upon between you and your manager.

Our Engineering Environment

Starling engineers are excited about helping us deliver new features, regardless of what their primary tech stack may be. Hear from the team in our latest blogs or our case studies with Women in Tech.

We are looking for engineers at all levels to join the team. We value people being engaged and caring about customers, caring about the code they write and the contribution they make to Starling. 具有广泛的能力，能够解决大量的问题和挑战, who can work across teams do great things here at Starling, to continue changing banking for good.

We have built our entire banking platform in house and mostly in Java. 我们正在寻找想要构建我们的工程师每天使用的工具的人.

我们的移动工程师在跨功能的特性团队中工作，这些团队被安排在更广泛的工程团队中, and as an Android engineer you’ll be working in at least one of such teams. 您有权为平台做出必要的决策，并为此类项目的团队领导提供见解. 您还将与其他具有不同经验水平和兴趣的Android工程师密切合作, helping us improve and develop our Android app, CI automations and tooling. You’ll be committing, reviewing and shipping new code right from the first week! 🎉

Requirements

As an Android engineer, 你将定期向一位移动首席工程师汇报，并与他保持联系，他将在你的星城之旅中为你提供支持. 我们这里有强大的协作和开放的文化，所以你也可以在团队之外找到支持.

As a fully digital bank, 我们正在寻找能够在实现新功能时理解并优先考虑安全性的工程师, fixing bugs or making technical improvements, across all the layers. Our team is designing, building and releasing new screens every day, 出于这个原因，我们对那些特别关注可访问性以及编写干净和可维护代码的人感兴趣.

在Starling茁壮成长和闪耀的方式是成为一个自我驱动的个体，能够完全拥有你周围的一切:从编写代码, shipping and maintaining it, 与同事分享知识，确保所有流程高效高效，为客户提供最好的结果.

Our aim is to deliver stable, resilient and high quality code, that is why testing is another key quality we look for when expanding our team. We use Espresso to write our UI/E2E Test and JUnit to write our Unit Tests across all layers of the application, as well as manually test all features before they go into production. 我们还与QA工程师密切合作，以确保我们在处理复杂功能交付时拥有额外的测试级别.

所有星城的工程师都以混合模式工作既在家里也在办公室工作. 理想情况下，你将位于我们都柏林的通勤距离内，以便我们能够看到彼此并亲自合作.

The Android world

在Starling Android应用程序中，我们很自豪能够与业界的一些最新技术合作. 在采用新技术时，我们总是作为一个团队来考虑它是否是我们产品和用户的最佳选择.

We are currently in the process of modularizing our codebase, right now we have 10 feature modules and 10 library modules, plus one app module. 我们的大部分代码库都是用Kotlin编写的，我们编写的任何新代码也是如此. 我们使用MVVM来构建表示层，并在整个应用程序堆栈中使用RxJava来处理异步操作. 我们使用Dagger作为依赖注入框架，而选择Realm作为持久化框架.

我们希望我们的应用看起来非常适合Android平台，并与我们的设计师密切合作，建立了一个组件库，并相应地为我们的应用设置了主题. 功能平价对我们来说很重要，所以Android和iOS应用通常是一起开发的.

We release app updates at least once a week, and the role of release manager is rotated equally throughout the Android team. We’ve worked to automate as much of the release as we can, 通过我们自己的内部工具，我们可以将从上传到应用商店到获得更安全发布的批准的发布步骤标准化.

作为一个团队，我们每周聚在一起讨论痛点和我们想要对项目进行的潜在改进. We regularly meet in real life to attend conferences and meet-ups together too!
