We're working with a well-known consumer brand that is investing heavily in its mobile engineering function and looking to add a Senior Android Engineer to the team.
This is a hands-on senior role where you’ll be building and evolving high-traffic Android products, contributing to technical direction and helping raise engineering standards across a large mobile team.
You’ll work closely with Product, Design, Backend, QA and other mobile engineers, with plenty of scope to get involved in architecture, technical decision-making and mentoring less experienced developers.
What you’ll be doing
- Building and evolving native Android applications using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
- Contributing to technical design and architecture across the Android platform
- Working with modern patterns including MVVM, Clean Architecture and modularisation
- Owning features from initial design through development, testing and release
- Improving code quality, performance, reliability and maintainability
- Contributing to automated testing and CI/CD practices
- Supporting and mentoring other engineers within the team
- Working cross-functionally with Product, Design, Backend and QA
- Helping shape engineering standards and best practice across mobile
What they’re looking for
You’ll ideally have strong commercial experience with:
- Kotlin
- Jetpack Compose
- MVVM and/or Clean Architecture
- Coroutines / Flow
- Dependency injection such as Hilt or Dagger
- Unit and UI testing
- CI/CD and modern software delivery practices
- Git and code review
- Working within collaborative product engineering teams
Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform would be a bonus, but it isn’t essential.
They’re particularly interested in engineers who are still very hands-on but are comfortable taking ownership, contributing to technical decisions and helping other engineers around them.
Why it’s worth a look
You’ll be joining a growing mobile engineering function with the opportunity to work on products used at serious scale, while still having plenty of influence over how things are built.
There’s a strong focus on modern Android development, engineering quality and continuous improvement, rather than simply maintaining legacy applications.
The role is hybrid from the Birmingham, with 3 days per week onsite.
