Software Engineer - Android

On our path to becoming the world’s favorite way to shop, we’re assembling an unparalleled global talent network, accelerating individual careers, and disrupting entire industries. We are on a mission to liberate humanity from all the meaningless time spent managing their purchases and finances, so they can do more of what they love. We’re in search of global talent eager to embrace our atmosphere and defy their own expectations.




Virtual Shopping helps consumers find and buy the perfect products with confidence. By connecting online shoppers with product experts for advice through live chats and video calls, the service brings the “human touch” back to online shopping.


The Virtual Shopping team owns the experience from the moment a Shopper starts a chat with a Product Expert, whether that is a one off interaction or the beginning of an ongoing shopping relationship. We fulfill this aim by providing all of the tools to enable this connection be that by chatting to allow the shopper to get to know a product expert, photos/videos and video calling to see the look of products up close and sharing these recommendations to allow the now confident shopper to go ahead and make their purchase. For product experts we provide a native mobile app experience for both IOS and Android.
