At Zipdev, we connect the best talent in Latin America with the most innovative companies in the US. We are currently looking for a Senior Android Engineer to join the Account & Loyalty team at one of the most beloved airlines in the world.

This isn’t just about writing code; it’s about enabling millions of passengers to connect with the people and places they love. You will own the core mobile experiences—from authentication to loyalty features—that travelers rely on every single day.

🌟 The "Remote-First, Not Remote-Only" Experience

  • Work from Home, Thrive in the US: Enjoy the autonomy of a remote role while functioning as a core member of a US-based engineering team.
  • The "Stateside" Connection: You will travel to the US three times a year to collaborate in person, strategize on the future of the app, and immerse yourself in the legendary "Southwest Heart" culture.

🛠️ What You’ll Do

  • Build the Future of Travel: Design and build high-impact features for the consumer app using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. You aren't just maintaining legacy code; you are building the next generation of travel tech.
  • Architect Excellence: Champion modern Android architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture) to ensure our codebase is scalable, testable, and robust.
  • Bridge the Gap: Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, Backend, and QA teams. You will be the technical voice in the room, translating complex problems into elegant solutions for non-technical teammates.
  • Own the Experience: You will be responsible for critical user journeys including authentication, profile management, and Rapid Rewards loyalty features.

❤️ The Culture: Have a "Southwest Heart"

We don't just want a coder; we want a teammate who elevates everyone around them.

  • Diplomatic & Adaptable: You are skilled at resolving internal conflict and navigating diverse opinions. You challenge ideas respectfully and embrace teamwork.
  • Communication Master: You can explain complex technical constraints to a Product Manager as easily as you can discuss coroutines with a developer. You are comfortable speaking through projects, features, and tools efficiently.
  • Feedback Loop: You are great at giving feedback, but even better at receiving it. You view code reviews as a place to learn, not a battlefield.
  • Daily Engagement: You don't disappear. You consistently engage with the team daily, building trust and camaraderie across borders.

Requirements

🎓 What We’re Looking For

  • The Veteran: You have 8+ years of professional Android development experience. You’ve seen it all, fixed it all, and shipped it all.
  • The Specialist: Strong expertise in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose is non-negotiable.
  • Scale: You have experience implementing new features on consumer-facing Android applications used by millions of users. You understand what "at scale" really means.
  • Experience working in diverse backgrounds and have a communicative mindset.
  • Teamworkers and highly adaptable members.
  • Communication skills up top!
  • Must be located in LATAM.

Benefits

  • Work remotely Monday - Friday, 40 hours a week (no weekends)
  • Vacation: 10 business days a year
  • Holidays: 5 National Holidays a year
  • Company Holidays: 5 Company Holidays a year (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Zipdev Day)
  • Parental Leave
  • Health Care Reimbursement
  • Active Lifestyle Reimbursement
  • Quarterly Home Office Reimbursement
  • Payroll Deduction Purchase Plans
  • Longevity Bonus
  • Continuous Learning Bonus
  • Access to Training and Professional Development Platforms

Our Story

Why was Zipdev Founded?

Zipdev’s co-founders, Mike Lenny and Daniel Altenburg, first met while living in Lima, Peru, where they earned each other’s trust playing rugby and traveling around Latin America together. Zipdev was born after they had both moved back to San Diego, when Mike asked Daniel for help finding solid software engineers to help develop an app he wanted to build.

At first they struggled to find the right option. Trying to build out a full team software development team in California was costly, and a couple false starts with teams in disparate time zones was discouraging. But soon they realized that they had a resource that they knew well right in their own backyard: Latin America.

So after much searching and relationship building, Mike and Daniel found some very talented software engineers to work with. They then spread the word about their experience with members of the San Diego startup community, some of whom convinced them to start Zipdev and became its first customers in 2015.

Zipdev has since grown into a multidisciplinary team of recruiters, software engineers, designers, QA testers, project managers, product owners, and more spanning multiple cities in the United States and Latin America and all dedicated to providing its clients with dependable technology professionals whether remote or onsite.
