Job description

Are you a mobile enthusiast who lives for clean code and smooth UI transitions? We are looking for a Junior iOS Developer with 1+ years of professional experience to join our engineering team.

At this stage in your career, you’ve moved past “Hello World” and are ready to tackle real-world scalability, complex APIs, and the occasional Gradle headache. If you’re eager to learn from seniors while making a tangible impact on a product used by thousands, let’s talk.

What You’ll Do

  • Feature Development: Collaborate with our product and design teams to build and ship high-quality features for our Android application.
  • Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable code in Kotlin (and some legacy Java) while following modern architectural patterns (MVVM/MVI).
  • UI/UX Implementation: Turn Figma designs into pixel-perfect layouts using Jetpack Compose or XML.
  • Bug Squashing: Identify, debug, and fix performance bottlenecks and edge-case crashes.
  • Continuous Learning: Participate in code reviews, contribute to technical documentation, and stay up-to-date with the latest Android Jetpack libraries.

Requirements

  • Experience: 1+ years of professional experience in Android development (internships count if they were high-impact!).
  • Language Proficiency: Strong foundations in Kotlin and a solid understanding of Java.
  • Android SDK: Familiarity with Activities, Fragments, Services, and Lifecycle components.
  • Networking: Experience working with RESTful APIs using Retrofit and handling JSON data.
  • Tooling: Proficiency with Git and a working knowledge of Android Studio.
  • Mindset: A “can-do” attitude and the humility to ask for help when a bug just won’t budge.

Bonus Points if You Have:

  • A published app on the Google Play Store (send us the link!).
  • Experience with Dependency Injection (Hilt/Dagger).
  • Familiarity with Coroutines and Flow for asynchronous programming.
  • A passion for Material Design 3.
