Job: Android Developer at Mullvad

Android Developer

Mullvad is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service provider.

Gothenburg, Sweden

We believe that privacy is fundamental to a well-functioning society because it allows norms, ethics, and laws to be safely discussed and challenged. We're now expanding to scale up our efforts in reclaiming the right to privacy, and we want your help!

The job

You will be part of the app development team. The app team is responsible for developing the app on Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, and macOS. Your primary focus will be bringing new features to our Android app, which is written in Kotlin and uses many modern Android concepts. Our app and everything our team works on is open source and available on GitHub.

The role is hybrid remote with some days per week on-site in our office in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Day to day work on the Android app includes working with technologies such as:

Parts of the app is written in Rust, although it’s not required to be experienced with Rust. At Mullvad we encourage developing and exploring new skills, so you will have the opportunity to learn/work with Rust, Swift, TypeScript, and more to improve the app on other platforms if you wish.

We value quality over quantity and believe in good solutions rather than quick fixes. We also believe in the value of collaborating as a team and therefore value everyone’s opinions and ideas. It is important to us that everyone feels like a part of the team and enjoys coming to work. This is why we have company-wide free lunch every Tuesday, ice cream breaks, and after work activities.

You

You like to work and collaborate in a team and you bring your own ideas to the table! We believe that privacy is a universal right and we hope that you also have a curious mind for software security and privacy.

Our 3 wishes

Process

Our process consists of three separate interviews:

  1. A meet & greet with two to three team members to get a basic understanding of who you are and your knowledge, and for you to get a better understanding of us and how we work.
  2. This is followed by a technical interview.
  3. Last part is a conversation with our CEO and then contract signing.
