Our Android Developers are the engine of the company. They optimize Secure Group’s products and services to deliver the most secure mobile solutions by constantly challenging the standards of encrypted communications.
The heart of the organization is our team of Android Developers. They consistently push the boundaries of encrypted communications in order to maximize Secure Group's apps and deliver the most secure mobile solutions.


The developers are responsible for managing the complete software lifecycle from analyzing requirements to creating prototypes, transforming wireframes into high-quality code, and implementing new features.
The developers are in charge of handling the entire software lifecycle, from requirements analysis through prototype creation, wireframe conversion to high-quality code, and feature implementation.
They also ensure the top quality of our solutions by developing and executing unit tests, troubleshooting issues, removing impediments, and improving the overall performance of Secure OS.
Growing in this framework means working alongside other developers and committing to collaborative problem solving to deliver a sophisticated design and a high-quality product.


We envision each of our employees as stakeholders, so developers are responsible for driving the collaboration with other teammates and agile teams, act as a subject-matter expert to less experienced Software Engineers and add user value to the solution.
Growing within this framework entails cooperating with other developers and producing high-quality apps.

== Level A ==
The Level A path is destined for employees who still do not possess the skills or proficiency in the whole set of criteria required of Individual Contributors. If during the hiring process we detected that you had the potential to quickly become Level 1, we made you an offer for Level A so you can expect to be provided with coaching, structured tasks with technical challenges, and the opportunity to learn and grow so you can be part of the Management Model as an Individual Contributor.
=== Golden Rules ===
To Level Up to become part of the Individual Contributor's Path, the Level A employees must:
* Meet the criteria of the [[Individual Contributors]] Level & Step Grid in one year.
* Demonstrate proficiency in the [[Knowledge_Management#Knowledge_Grade_Description|KAI]] of the Android Development framework according to the levels.

The heart of the organization is our team of Android Developers. They consistently push the boundaries of encrypted communications in order to maximize Secure Group's apps and deliver the most secure mobile solutions.

The developers are in charge of handling the entire software lifecycle, from requirements analysis through prototype creation, wireframe conversion to high-quality code, and feature implementation.

Growing within this framework entails cooperating with other developers and producing high-quality apps.

Progression

In order to progress in our development path and Level Up or Step Up, our Android Developers must:

Level A

The Level A path is destined for employees who still do not possess the skills or proficiency in the whole set of criteria required of Individual Contributors. If during the hiring process we detected that you had the potential to quickly become Level 1, we made you an offer for Level A so you can expect to be provided with coaching, structured tasks with technical challenges, and the opportunity to learn and grow so you can be part of the Management Model as an Individual Contributor.

Golden Rules

To Level Up to become part of the Individual Contributor's Path, the Level A employees must:

  • Meet the criteria of the Individual Contributors Level & Step Grid in one year.
