Role Description
About Us
We started Geneva to bring people together. We're building the word's most flexible group messaging platform — a low-pressure space where everyone can have genuine conversations with communities they care about. Geneva is a world where power is distributed, where privacy is respected, and where advertising is nowhere to be found.
The Geneva Engineering team is part of what makes this happen. For our Android app, we use Kotlin, Android Jetpack, unidirectional data flows, dependency injection, reactive programming, unit tests, end to end tests, and the robot pattern.
You don't have to know all of these patterns and libraries, but you'll be using them daily. Technical skills aren't everything at Geneva; we value kind people who can work well on a team.
Our office is in New York City (but you don't have to be). Geneva is committed to building a diverse and inclusive company that celebrates and develops individuals of all backgrounds. We have that commitment instilled into the very foundation of our company. We are an equal opportunity employer and encourage all applicants.

About Geneva
Geneva is a startup based in New York City building a flexible communication platform to bring communities together.
We know that being part of a group is vital to people's happiness and wellbeing, but the tools and platforms most of us are using today aren't really designed to help us build and participate in positive communities. The way we see it, most social media platforms are too public and chaotic, but most chat apps are super limited and rigid. So we're creating Geneva as something in between: a new utility designed to actually bring people together. We believe in a new digital world — one where privacy is respected, power is distributed, and accountability is emphasized.
We've obsessed with building the best possible product for our users, and to do that we know we need to build the best team possible. We're looking engineers that are exceptional at their craft, and even better as human beings.
Company Culture
We’re a family. We want to win together and be at the finish line together. We are obsessive learners and truth seekers and care more about success than being right. The best ideas win out no matter where they come from. We believe in first principles. We have strong convictions, loosely held.
