Endless, global opportunity

Android makes up 86% of the global mobile market share. There are a broad range of Android apps running on a variety of devices — consumer apps from the Google Play Store, Android Auto apps in cars, Android-powered medical devices, tablet apps to help small businesses succeed... the possibilities are endless.

Because the number of use cases for Android apps is virtually limitless, your job opportunities are also limitless. You might end up working as an Android engineer on a large team where you’re focused on building a single feature, or you might be the sole Android engineer at a small startup. Either way — it’s often up to you to advocate for the Android platform and recommend Android-specific designs and best-practices.

What will be fun

Android dominates the market share, so it's exciting to build for a platform that gives you access to the largest audience possible. In this Android program you'll work in a team with other students to learn how to iterate quickly and push features in front of real customers on mobile devices.

What will be hard

Android fragmentation can be a challenge. You’ll have to write code that works well on hundreds of Android versions and devices that behave inconsistently. If you have a lot of patience and a general curiosity about how things work, you’ll make a great Android engineer.

Our curriculum is designed to get you hired. Classes are interactive and have a rigorous structure. Plus you'll build a real product with a team of 6-8 students from other tracks.
