The Charge Screen Team

Current Mobile enables budget-conscious consumers to earn additional income from their everyday habits. The larger organization is split into cross-functional product teams. The Charge Screen team consists of 2 Android Engineers, 1 Backend Engineer, and 1 Product Manager. We're focused on allowing users to earn extra income for charging and unlocking their phone.

We operate in 2-week sprints, release Android updates weekly, and control specific functionality through a powerful split testing and feature flagging system. Our Product Managers are committed to measuring and quantifying the impact of every change before we move on.

The team varies between working collaboratively and independently. We want everyone to feel encouraged to take a feature from an idea through development and post-release all on their own. But, some problems are best solved together, in which case pair programming, whiteboarding sessions, and discussions are frequent.

Current Mobile has 15 engineers out of 32 people in total, distributed around the world (including Chicago, Mexico, California, Argentina, and Croatia). The Charge Screen team is based in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Ukraine.

• TestRail for our Test Case and Test Documentation main application.
• EndTest for creation of automated tests.
• BrowserStack as device farm used for automated tests
• JIRA for bug management and for general maintenance of software development process.
• Instabug for bug reporting
• We communicate with each other primarily via Slack.

How we work

Current Mobile is committed to learning, exploring new ideas & alternatives, and is united by curiosity. We are results-driven, use OKRs to guide us on our decisions, and emphasize goal accomplishment.

We all share the same core values:

• Lead with Purpose - Leadership does not necessarily mean management. Everyone is a leader, no matter the role. Taking pride in your responsibilities, finding & executing solutions is key.

• Focus on the ‘Why’- The best solutions start with everyone understanding the problem and its impact. We’ve found that if someone understands the ‘why’, they will produce an innovative ‘what’ and ‘how’. If we cannot explain the ‘why’ clearly, we don’t understand the problem ourselves.

• Bring a Sense of Humor - Our work environment is a lighthearted & positive place where employees are united by humor and camaraderie; we believe laughter is a great way to uplift employee morale and form bonds with each other.

• Set New Precedents - We drive innovation and push boundaries for all company activities while understanding that anything worth doing will have roadblocks. We set a new standard of worth for people’s time, data, and attention while rewarding what most other companies take.

• Collaboration - We won’t thrive without recognizing others’ strengths. Listen and evolve together, helping and supporting each other for the sake of a collective goal.

We believe in the following workplace norms:

• Honor Commitments, Your Word Matters - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant & Timely (S.M.A.R.T) Asks & Answers.

• Allow OKRs To Guide Us - Individual & Departmental OKRs will largely impact success at Current Mobile.

• Agree to Disagree & Commit -Voice concerns in a respectful & appropriate manner directly to your manager or the Executive Team.

• Assume Positive Intent - Always start from the idea that a person meant well or was doing their best, no matter what they say or do.
