7shifts is a scheduling and payroll platform designed to help restaurant teams thrive. With an easy-to-use app and industry-specific solutions, 7shifts saves time, reduces errors, and helps keep costs in check for over 55,000 restaurants. Our mission is to simplify team management and improve performance for restaurants, with a long-term vision of creating a thriving restaurant industry through the power of connected & engaged teams.
As a Junior Android Developer at 7shifts, you’ll implement and maintain mobile app features in collaboration with Product Management and Product Design. You’ll be joining an established, supportive team of developers and an Engineering Manager who will actively guide your onboarding and growth. Through mentorship, pairing, and exposure to multiple domains, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence needed to make meaningful contributions to the team. At 7shifts, we value simplicity, technical excellence, and ownership. Your work to improve system reliability and drive innovation will directly support our mission: to save restaurants time, reduce stress, and help teams thrive.
Our inclusive work environment represents the diverse industry we have the pleasure of serving.
What you’ll do:
- Build mobile app features for over 1.5 million restaurant professionals by fully engaging in your cross-functional team’s delivery process
- Champion software excellence through ownership of delivery metrics and collaborating with your engineering team to continuously improve
- Sustain high-quality software through testing and fixing the root causes of bugs
- Collaborate with web teams to define and consume APIs that power our mobile apps
- Take independent ownership of your work, with mentorship and support from your peers and the Engineering Manager
What you bring:
- Experience developing native mobile apps in Android Studio using modern technologies (e.g., Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, MVVM architecture)
- A proactive, growth-based work ethic, with a willingness to challenge yourself, and receive feedback and mentorship from your peers
- A customer-focused mindset and genuine passion for building an app that solves real-world problems
- Strong interest in leveraging AI to assist a software development practice built on a strong foundation
- Desire to grow with your team, learning and succeeding together
It’d be even cooler if you had:
- Experience building customer-focused software
- Experience working in Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) projects
- Experience designing or using RESTful APIs to connect mobile apps to the backend
Our commitment to our Shifties:
- Opportunity: Our product is evolving in exciting ways, and we’re focused on delivering even more value to restaurants. This momentum creates real opportunities to learn and grow. Whether you’re honing your craft or exploring new paths, you’ll be supported and empowered to own your growth and impact a product shaping the future of the restaurant industry.
- Challenge: We’re tackling real problems in a fast-moving, complex industry. The work is scrappy and ambiguous, but meaningful. You’ll think critically, act with intention, and shape solutions that make a real difference for restaurant teams.
- Culture: We’re proud to be recognized among the best workplaces in North America. Guided by our mission and values, we move fast to solve meaningful problems and celebrate wins together. Whether through in-office and remote events, team offsites like Sparks, or everyday moments of connection, we create space for shared growth, collaboration, and fun.
- Equity: We’re a Series C, VC-backed SaaS company, and we believe everyone should share in the success they help create. When we build together, we grow together.
- Health and Wellness: We support Shifties in and outside of work, knowing that what people need can change over time. From day one, you’ll have access to benefits like health and dental, lifestyle spending accounts to a parental leave program built with flexibility in mind, to help you bring your best self to work.
- Flexibility: Our team is intentional around how and where we work, whether remotely, in person, or a mix of both. We prioritize candidates who thrive in a hybrid work environment with offices in Saskatoon and Toronto, ensuring in-person collaboration and connection when possible. Plus, we offer a flexible vacation policy to encourage everyone to recharge when needed. Oh, and our ‘90 Day Shift’ program lets Shift work from (almost) anywhere because who wouldn’t want to trade their desk for a beach view once in a while?
- Support: We set Shifties up for success with the tools they need, like the latest Apple tech, a home office setup, and some 7shifts swag to make it official. But support goes beyond day one. We’re serious about professional growth, offering coaching, feedback, development planning, and opportunities to grow from within.
We know you might not check every box, and that’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, inspired to contribute to a meaningful product, and eager to share ideas that drive real change, we’d love to hear from you. We’re building an inclusive team that reflects the diverse industry we serve, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
We thank you for your interest in joining the 7shifts team!
