Rare Candy is revolutionizing the $25 billion trading-card industry as the only community marketplace 100% dedicated to TCGs. Collectors use our AI-powered card scanner, data-rich collection tools, and jaw-dropping drops to buy, sell, rip, and showcase Pokémon, MTG, Lorcana, One Piece, and more. We've hit 10x revenue growth over the last 6 months, the business is highly profitable, and we're building the team to take this from a great product to a category-defining one.
We're hiring a Junior Android Developer to help build the mobile experience for collectors to use every day from managing their collections, connecting with the community, and opening Instapacks.
You'll work closely with the CTO and engineering team to ship features across our Android app. This is a hands-on product engineering role for someone early in their career who already knows how to build in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, has worked with GraphQL, and wants to grow quickly inside a fast-moving startup.
You'll work on real product problems, learn from one of the leading mobile engineers, and see your work go directly into the hands of passionate collectors.
If you love trading cards or collector communities, and want to level up fast, this is a role for you.
You get the app running locally, understand the core product flows, and ship your first meaningful fixes or small features.
By day 90: You're regularly shipping Android work with support from the CTO and mobile lead. You can take a well-scoped feature or improvement,



ask the right questions, implement it cleanly, test it, and get it into production.
By the end of year one: You've become a reliable Android contributor across some of the most important parts of the product. You've shipped meaningful improvements to the collector experience, grown your Kotlin and Jetpack Compose craft, and earned ownership over increasingly important features.
Build and improve Android features across Rare Candy's collector-facing product.

- Integrate with GraphQL APIs and collaborate with backend engineers to shape clean, usable client-server contracts.
- Fix bugs, improve polish, and raise the quality bar for the Android app.
- Work closely with product, design, and engineering to turn ideas into shipped experiences.
- You start the morning checking the Android board and reviewing feedback on a feature you shipped yesterday.

Mid-morning, you're pairing with other engineers on a current integration for a collection feature.
After lunch, you're tightening up a screen, fixing an edge case, and testing the flow against real user behavior.
Later in the day, you're in a product discussion about how users want to showcase their favorite pulls, bringing both your Android perspective and your own TCG fluency to the conversation.




You have around 3 years of Android development experience and have shipped real features in a production app or serious side project.

- You're comfortable building with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
- You care about product quality, UI polish, and the little details that make an app feel good.
- You're early in your career but serious about getting better. You're comfortable in a fast-moving startup where priorities can shift and the best answer is often “figure it out, then make it better.”
- You collect, play, rip packs, follow the market, or have real fluency in a similar collectible space.

The systems are still evolving, the team is small, and your work will matter immediately. If you like mobile product craft, collector communities, and the idea of building tools you would actually want to use yourself, you'll do great here.
Get real ownership early in your career while learning directly from experienced engineering leadership.
Join a high-trust, low-ego team that ships fast, celebrates wins, and cares deeply about the hobby.
Competitive startup comp, meaningful equity upside, and a salary range of $100,000-$120,000.
Full benefits: health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), and a wellness stipend.
Describe an Android feature you built. What did you own, what technical choices did you make, and what was the result?
- What trading-card or collector communities do you understand best? We celebrate individuality, from Pikachu collectors to Planeswalker pros, and are committed to building an inclusive team.
