We are looking for an Android application developer who will help us make mobile shopping as convenient and enjoyable as possible. You will participate in implementing new ideas, experiment with development approaches, and create for a multi-million audience.

What tasks await you

Working with the core quality of promo mechanics We are focused on improving the core quality of promo mechanics. This consists of several steps. First of all, a focus on the portfolio of mechanics that deliver maximum results. Our task is to make these mechanics a flexible and convenient tool that can adapt to the needs of the business and the market while also working stably and with high quality. Additionally, we need to reduce the number of mechanics to avoid spreading ourselves too thin across a large volume that may not deliver the expected results. Promo mechanics need to work for the core audience of the product and be its integral and recognizable part.

Implementation of new viral acquisition mechanics We see significant market interest in gamifying certain scenarios within the Market application. And we understand that promo scenarios are best suited for gamification and building a non-standard approach to promotion. We want to build new, unusual scenarios that attract new audiences and create a wow-effect. At the same time, these scenarios need to be integrated into the overall Yandex ecosystem and cross-service interactions need to be implemented.

Personalization of mechanics It is necessary not just to implement promos, discounts, and sales, but to make them personal for the user, taking into account multiple parameters and customer preferences. We already have a recommendation system that allows us to build personalized feeds. Now we want promo campaigns to be just as personalized as our recommendation feeds.

We expect you to

• Have been developing Android applications in Kotlin for more than two years
• Create complex user interfaces
• Know classic algorithms and data structures
• Be able to understand other people's code and find problems in it
