Job description

We are seeking an experienced Android Developer to contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of high-quality Android applications. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and GitLab, and will be comfortable working in a fast-paced, client-focused environment.

Hybrid working:

The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your Role

  • Design, develop, and maintain Android applications using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Product, UX/UI, QA, and Backend to deliver high-quality features.
  • Participate in architectural discussions and contribute to technical decision-making.
  • Write clean, reusable, testable, and scalable code following best practices.
  • Use GitLab for version control, CI/CD pipelines, merge requests, and code reviews.
  • Optimize application performance, memory usage, and responsiveness.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues to ensure application stability and reliability.
  • Stay up to date with Android frameworks, tools, and industry trends.
  • Mentor junior developers and support delivery across all project phases, from concept to deployment.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of professional Android development experience (Mid-Senior level), or 6+ years with strong consulting exposure (Consultant / Senior Consultant level).

  • Strong proficiency in Kotlin and modern Android development practices.

  • Hands-on experience with Jetpack Compose for building native UIs.

  • Experience with GitLab (repositories, branching strategies, CI/CD pipelines).

  • Strong understanding of Android architecture patterns such as MVVM, MVI, and Clean Architecture.

  • Experience integrating RESTful APIs, JSON parsing, and networking libraries (e.g., Retrofit).

  • Familiarity with unit testing and UI testing frameworks (JUnit, Espresso).

  • Solid understanding of Material Design principles.

  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.

Nice to Have (Optional)

  • Experience with Coroutines and Flow.
  • Knowledge of Room, DataStore, or other persistence frameworks.
  • Exposure to DevOps practices using GitLab CI/CD.
  • Experience in client-facing consulting roles.
  • Understanding of mobile security best practices.
