Overview

As the industry leader in overall customer satisfaction, Chick-fil-A thrives on pioneering what’s next. We’re looking for a seasoned professional to join our team and deliver on our technological vision for the Point-of-Sale.

 

The role of Senior Android Mobile Engineer on our POS product is not just about being an expert in Android software development but shaping a crucial experience for team members to create millions of moments of caring for our guests every day.

 

Collaborating with Product Owners, Designers, Analysts, and Enterprise Architects, you will leverage your Android expertise for those around you to ensure the successful development, implementation, and deployment of our flagship Point-of-Sale project. Your expertise will play a crucial role in shaping the way we use technology to delight our customers through radically convenient and remarkably human interactions. We aren’t just making a new point-of-sale, but an innovative point-of-service to power our core value exchange in ways technology is just now making possible.

 

As a Senior Android Mobile Engineer, you will be a technical expert on this agile, product-focused team where you can influence the product's direction, system architecture and engineering patterns, while mentoring other staff engineers. You will set the standard for code contribution on your team while keeping the systems you are responsible for running, stable and secure. You will leverage and contribute to existing frameworks while following and extending accepted architectural patterns.

 

This role calls for a technology enthusiast with a strategic mindset, outstanding leadership skills, and a hands-on approach. We need individuals that are highly collaborative and can work across team and functional boundaries with ease. The problems that you’ll be solving are challenging and require teams to tackle the complexity. This means that you need to be able to do hard things with kindness. If you are excited about making a significant impact through cutting-edge mobile technology and doing it on a team that values each member’s contributions, we’d love to talk to you.

 

This role is based in Atlanta, GA, and will involve some travel in the field locally.

 

Our Flexible Future model offers a healthy mix of working in person and virtually, strengthening key elements of the Chick-fil-A culture by fostering collaboration and community.

 

Responsibilities

  • Solution Ownership: Take ownership of large feature architectural decisions, shaping the technical direction and strategy of key functionality
  • A Seasoned Guide: Guide delivery and operations of the team’s product, including both individual contribution and support as well as delegate tasks and support to your team’s engineers. We desire our engineers to be both feature leads and engineers, spending a portion of their time leading others as well as contributing engineering work themselves.
  • Team Building and Management: Be actively involved in the interview and selection process of contract software engineers and partner engineering teams. Oversee their onboarding and continuous progress.
  • Collaborative Engineering: Work closely with partner engineering teams to promote the use of industry best practices, provide solutions to complex problems, review code, and share knowledge and experiences.

  • Technological Foresight: Keep a finger on the pulse of the tech world, identifying and proposing emerging software engineering technologies, methodologies, and approaches that can enhance our operations and offerings.

This role operates under a DevOps model, encompassing both the creation and ongoing management of solutions. It's important to note that this may occasionally require off-hours support.
