Skelar

Skelar — Ukrainian venture builder, which builds international tech businesses. Together with co-founders, we are assembling strong teams to win in global markets.

Today at Skelar, there are a dozen businesses in various niches — from EdTech to marketplaces. These are companies that make it into the TOP startup and product company rankings of Ukraine, occupy the highest ranks in the AppStore and develop platforms used by millions of people. And yet, we are written about in TechCrunch, Wired, and other global media.

We are proud of our team of 1000+ experts who have great expertise and ambitious goals. Our people are the most valuable asset of the company, so we choose to build businesses with the best talents on the market. At Liven, we help people understand themselves and change their lives for the better. We offer to view the self-discovery process as a journey. Our product Liven App is a companion on this adventure, with its own set of tools and useful knowledge. We make behavioral methods accessible to people, allowing them to reduce procrastination and stress, increase concentration and energy levels, and improve overall well-being.

At Liven, we challenge the traditional views of linear career paths, encouraging each new team member to pursue their own initiatives beyond their scope. We conduct internal education initiatives in each engineering direction, as well as managerial tracks. If the idea of changing users' lives drives you — let's get acquainted! Your future responsibilities: — Development of key AI features in the mobile application — integration into the main flows, work with AI-API and building an intuitive UX around the assistant; — Participation in the design of the architecture of new features — with a focus on scalability, reuse of components, and performance; — Full responsibility for feature delivery: from idea, UI/UX discussion, and technical design to stable production release and monitoring; — Work with CI/CD, analytics, feedback cycles — to not just "implement" but constantly improve features based on data; — Close cooperation with AI, product, and design teams — united efforts to create a smart, adaptive mobile experience; — Proactive participation in improving engineering practices, development approaches, application performance, and overall quality culture.

What is important for us: — 1+ year of Android development experience; — Confident knowledge of Kotlin and Android SDK, understanding of their capabilities and limitations; — Experience working with Jetpack Compose in production applications; — Understanding of architectural approaches: MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture; — Experience in creating a feature from start to production: implementation, release, monitoring, iteration; — Experience in integrating analytics, tracking metrics, and observability of mobile functionality; — Understanding of the lifecycle of Android components, working with streams and asynchronous logic; — Experience working with REST/GraphQL API, WebSocket, Retrofit/Ktor, Apollo, navigation, DI (Koin); — It would be a plus if you have practical experience in writing Unit, integration, and E2E tests; — Proactivity, independence, and a desire to influence the product, not just "close tasks"

You are definitely for us if you: — Want to directly influence the technology and architecture of the product, starting from the first day of its existence (and even before that ;)); — You are ready to own a feature from its idea to the delivery of functionality to the user and monitoring its operation; — You can argue your point and make decisions independently; — You are not afraid of a fast pace of work and a large number of experiments; — You are used to working in a balance between technology, user, and business; — You listen to feedback and strive for rapid professional growth and self-development.

In addition to businesses, we are developing the Skelar Foundation, which was created by company employees. Within the initiative, we create and fund projects that help overcome the consequences of war and rebuild Ukraine.

Skelar is an environment for self-realization for people who are able to create successful companies. We call such companies the next big everything. We believe in their power and scale. We plan to continue developing tech businesses, conquering global markets, and working for the victory of Ukraine.

For this we have created all possibilities within our venture builder: — 8 infrastructure teams that help businesses with any questions: from recruiting and communications to finance and legal issues; — A community of founders who have already launched more than one business and can share practical experience; — Internal clubs by professional directions: marketing, development, finance, recruiting; — Trainings, courses, attending conferences; — Medical insurance, corporate doctor.
