Central London - 3 days onsite
We're working with a leading fintech scale-up looking for an experienced Senior Android Engineer to join their mobile engineering team on an initial 6-month contract.
This is a highly product-focused role, working on a major Android product build and creating polished, data-rich mobile experiences. You'll have genuine end-to-end ownership, from initial idea and technical approach through to testing and release.
This is an important one: they need someone senior who is still very close to the code.
They're not looking for a hands-off Lead, they want a highly technical, hands-on Senior Android Engineer who can make good architectural decisions but still enjoys getting stuck into the implementation.
You'll also need to be a confident, clear communicator who can articulate your thinking, work effectively with Product and Design, challenge ideas constructively and explain the reasoning behind technical decisions.
What you'll be working on
- Building new features with Kotlin & Jetpack Compose
- Working with design systems and reusable UI components
- Taking end-to-end ownership of features through to release
- Integrating with backend services and APIs
- Contributing to testing, CI/CD & release processes
- Challenging requirements and contributing ideas to the product
- Using modern AI development tools to improve engineering productivity
What we're looking for
- Excellent Kotlin and Jetpack Compose skills
- Strong understanding of modern Android architecture
- Highly technical and hands-on with the code
- Experience building high-quality, polished mobile products
- Strong UI implementation skills and appreciation for UX & design
- Comfortable owning complex features from design to production
- Able to explain and defend technical decisions
- Proactive, autonomous and comfortable challenging ideas constructively
Nice to haves
Experience building dashboards, charts, data visualisations or other complex/data-heavy interfaces would be particularly valuable.
Fintech, banking or financial-services experience is useful, but isn't essential. They're looking for great Android product engineers first and foremost.
The business is actively adopting AI across its products and engineering organisation.
You don't need to be an AI specialist, but we'd like to meet engineers who are comfortable using tools such as Copilot, Claude or similar to accelerate development, testing and code quality while maintaining strong engineering judgement.
Hybrid: 3 days per week onsite
Interview: Two stages with a fast turnaround
We welcome applications from everyone and make recruitment decisions based on skills, experience and suitability for the role, regardless of age, gender, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.
