Assurant Labs has cultivated a fast-paced, Agile development environment where creativity and teamwork are paramount.
You are someone who prefers to communicate through code. You love to create and have a strong desire to learn. You have strong opinions but that are weakly held; you are humble yet confident. In fact, you’re the first to pass along the latest headache busting library from Square to your colleagues just minutes after sending a link to a mind clarifying blog post from Romain Guy. 
You can speak to language best practices and are not afraid of anonymous inner-classes. You never overlook the saved instance state and have contemplated the tradeoffs between activities, fragments and views. You have knowledge of how a RESTful web service works, what makes it RESTful and how it can be accessed from Android. You are also diligent about meeting allocated budgets and can work within time constraints, but you will never sacrifice quality.
We are looking for you to join our growing team as an Android Engineer. You have exceptional communication skills, the ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently, excellent judgment, and the ability to be productive on a cross-functional product team.
