ABOUT the role

---

We’re hiring a mid-level software engineer to work on our Android mobile application. This app is the way that tens of thousands of people control their smart Pura fragrance diffuser. From controlling the smart diffuser hardware, to managing fragrance subscriptions, your code will be making a meaningful difference in how people interact with our product.

You’ll be working in a cross-functional team of talented people from across the world where everybody can participate in the solution and make an impact on the product we deliver to customers. Ideally you’ll have worked on Android applications before, but if you’re well-versed in Kotlin or Java and have a curious mind, you’ll pick things up no problem. We believe nobody starts any role as an expert. We want to find motivated people who want to do their best work rather than finding someone who has done it before. As a progressive company, we love to learn new skills, grow, and have fun. Therefore we’re not afraid of adopting new technologies that could help us increase our development speed and deliver the best experience to our customers.

Responsibilities

As a mobile application is the interface for people to control their smart fragrance diffuser, we want it to be an intuitive, beautiful experience. Here are some examples of projects that you may work on:

• Building out a new user experience to manage brand new diffusers for spaces other than the home
• Enhancing the controls for our existing hardware device to match new hardware capabilities
• Build native experience for managing fragrance subscriptions
• Work with our QA team to ensure the application is testable and deliverable
• Leverage existing technology to create a world class user experience in controlling the Pura Smart Home Diffuser: AWS IoT, Firebase, and Bluetooth Low Energy

ABOUT you

---

Generally speaking, we are after applicants that are curious about the possibility of technology, put an emphasis on delivering quality solutions, are diligent, and kind. Our teams work well because we place trust in them to succeed. We trust you to do well, and you will do so together with us.

As we’re looking for a mid level engineer, we expect you to be able to own and deliver projects with little oversight. We’d love you to help us identify areas where we can improve and also work to minimize tech debt. You will put an emphasis on code quality and customer experience.

You’ll probably have a couple of years working in the industry, but we care less about how long you’ve been working and more about what you’ve been doing. We’d love to hear about what you’ve worked on, how it was built, and why it was a success.

We believe that great ideas can come from anybody, no matter where they are in the company. We like members who value teamwork and collaboration. You should be comfortable working with remote employees, which means using video calls and frequent written communication.

We know each candidate may not meet all of the listed requirements, but please apply anyway!
