We’re partnering with a Tech for Good business, who are developing mission-critical mobile and cloud-based solution at scale across the business. Their products support users in real-time environments where reliability, performance and resilience are essential.

With their brand-new, cloud-native platform now built, they are embarking on an exciting new phase: rebuilding their mobile apps from the ground up. They are looking for a skilled Android Developer to join the team, to help deliver a fast, reliable, and safety-critical customer experience.

Why this role is exciting:

• Greenfield Rebuild: Assist in rebuilding the Android and iOS apps completely from scratch, real impact on products where performance and resilience genuinely matter.
• Tech for Good: Every line of code you write directly supports keeping people safe in real-time, vulnerable situations.
• AI-Driven Workflows: Heavy investment in AI-embedded enablement. You will actively use and help develop AI agents to expedite delivery and supercharge the development workflow.
• Massive Data Challenges: Work with over a billion data points, utilizing location services, sensors, and real-time communication.

• Collaborate closely with the Lead Mobile Developer, Product, QA, and backend teams to deliver robust API integrations and end-to-end solutions.
• Drive operational excellence on Android-managing crash/ANR reduction, background execution constraints (Foreground Services, WorkManager), and reliable background location handling.
• Embrace modern delivery practices, including CI/CD, feature flags, incremental rollouts, and AI-assisted development tooling.

What they’re looking for:

• Strong Android Fundamentals: Experience as an Android Developer, having commercial experience building native Android apps (Kotlin/Java, Android Studio, Play Store releases) and a willingness to learn or work across iOS over time.
• Deep Platform Knowledge: Solid understanding of Android background execution, battery optimization, and location handling (FusedLocationProviderClient).
• Integration & Quality: Experience with secure REST APIs, OAuth2/SSO, automated testing, and code reviews.
