<div class="content-intro"><h2><strong>Who we are</strong></h2><p><br />Sendwave is on a mission to make sending funds to loved ones as easy and affordable as sending a text. What makes us stand out in a sea of similar apps? We deeply care about the diasporas and communities we serve — and that comes with a sense of connection to the markets we operate in. We strive to make life better for everyone who touches our product. That means recognizing and honoring the human experience behind sending money. We do that by remaining fee-free in most of our markets and offering round-the-clock customer care.<br /><br />Our app is currently available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and parts of Europe, and sends funds to 19 receiving countries for over 500,000 users. We currently have<a href="https://www.trustpilot.com/review/sendwave.com"> <u>a 4.6-star rating on Trustpilot</u></a> — people put their faith in us to deliver their money quickly, securely, and affordably. And we’re pretty darn proud of that.</p><h2><br /><strong>How we work</strong></h2><p>What we’re most proud of though is our brilliant, creative, and tenacious team. Our remote-first workplace means you’ll be working with Sendwavers in Europe, Africa, South America, and the U.S. that all share a core set of Sendwave values. What exactly are those values? Glad you asked.</p><ol><li><strong>Prioritize fearlessly.</strong><br />There will always be more problems to solve and opportunities to pursue than we have the capacity for. We’re not afraid to say no and are willing to let fires burn, knowing that to win we must discern and execute decisively on the vital few rather than the important many.</li><li><strong>Take full ownership of the outcomes we’re responsible for.</strong><br />Our job is not to do what we can to solve a problem. It's to ensure that problem is solved. If an attempt to solve a problem doesn't work, we seek an alternative. If we need help, we request it, and, if necessary, demand it.</li><li><strong>Forge a diverse team and inclusive culture.</strong><br />We believe the challenges we’re addressing will be best met by a truly global, diverse team, working together. We’re not naive to the systemic bias and discrimination that make this easier said than done, so we check our egos, listen deeply, and measure progress towards making this a fundamental part of our success.</li><li><strong>Maximize our rate of learning.</strong><br />We view projects as ever-evolving drafts and welcome opportunities to discover that what we had in mind won't work so we can move to an even better end state. Most importantly, we do this fast. The faster we run these loops — as a company and individuals — the faster we’ll achieve our mission.</li><li><strong>Embrace embarrassing honesty from ourselves and others.</strong><br />We function best when we're open and honest with one another — especially about our challenges and doubts. We lean into uncomfortable conversations and support our colleagues when they do the same.</li><li><strong>Maximize energy, not time spent.</strong><br />We measure our own and others’ contributions by objectives reached, not time spent. Living a full life outside of work is necessary for high achievement over the long term.</li></ol><p><br /></p></div><p><strong>Good to note: We are able to hire in Belgium, Canada, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Kenya, Poland, Senegal, UK, and US.</strong></p><h2>Your key area of focus:</h2><p>To achieve our mission, we need to make sure our app is easy to use for every interaction from signup to sending to editing info to resetting your password. You’ll work closely with our Head of Product to fix highly impactful user problems and A/B test interface changes to make the experience even smoother and quicker. You’ll eventually be one of the primary code owners of our Android app, and the go-to people for when someone else on the team has a hairy Android problem they need help with, but it won’t be all Android work though— you will need to work across client and server to solve problems end-to-end.</p><h2>In your first few months, you'll</h2><ul><li>Streamline in-app signup and verification flows</li><li>Set up A/B tests to measure the impact of your work</li><li>Help us build a top-tier referral program to help users share their love of Sendwave with their friends</li><li>Advise other engineers on Android development questions and challenges</li></ul><h2>What you bring to the table:</h2><ul><li>4+ years of professional experience as a full-stack or mobile engineer (but at least 3+ years exclusively in mobile)</li><li>Significant experience working with Android — you don’t need to know every detail of the Android environment off the top of your head, but you should have a strong enough foundation to figure out those details when needed</li><li>Work authorization in the country in which you intend to be based.</li></ul><h2>Bonus points if you</h2><ul><li>Have worked on a growth team before</li><li>Possess hands-on experience with Python or iOS</li><li>Care about users and want to make their experience easier and better</li><li>Are more of a “get it done” type person than a perfectionist</li><li>Aren’t afraid to throw away code you wrote when after testing, a flow you built doesn’t work as well as another one</li><li>Can easily communicate with non-technical folks and translate their feedback into code.</li><li>Are comfortable defaulting to over-communication and overreaching when it comes to coordination.</li><li>Adjust quickly to changing priorities and conditions and cope effectively with complexity and change.</li></ul><h2>Let's talk about the benefits. Here are a few perks you can look forward to:</h2><ul><li>This is a permanent position</li><li>Major benefits:<ul><li>Subsidized health insurance and retirement contribution matching (both vary from country-to-country)</li><li>26 weeks fully paid parental leave and subsidized fertility assistance</li><li>Unlimited vacation with a 20-day <em>minimum</em> requirement</li><li>$10,000 annual charitable donation matching</li></ul></li></ul><div class="content-conclusion"><h2><strong>And best of all:</strong></h2><ul><li>Our team of over 400 employees, fully distributed across the world. We are working from coffee shops, homes, and coworking spaces — making us one of the larger fully distributed growth-stage startups in the world.</li><li>Proud parents, community organizers, farmers, play in bands, teach yoga, YouTube influencers, former Olympians, and serial entrepreneurs.</li><li>We collectively speak over twenty languages, including Akuapem, Amharic, Bengali, Ewe, Fante, Ga, Igbo, Kalenjin, Luganda, Oromo, Somali, Swahili, Wolof, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish.</li><li>Our new collaborators at WorldRemit, another remittance company.
