At Plum, we’re on a mission to maximise wealth for all. We’re making saving money effortless and turning investing into something everyone can do. Our journey began back in 2017, when we became one of the first to use artificial intelligence and automation to simplify personal finance. Fast forward to today, and we’ve already helped people save £2 billion across 10 European markets. Named the UK’s fastest-growing fintech in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, our success is down to the passion and dedication of our diverse team. Based in our London, Athens and Nicosia offices, 170 talented people work together to empower people to do more with their money. And now, the team is growing!
The Role
We’re looking for a user-focused Android Engineer to join our engineering team. You’ll be building Plum on Android from its early days, giving our current and prospective customers a more intimate way to interact with their money.
Our Engineering Approach
We value good engineering principles, imagination, quirkiness and healthy curiosity. We take a conservative approach to using external frameworks and we aspire to write simple, well‑tested code, delivered in rapid iterations.
How We Work
We work in “squads” – a more startup‑appropriate name for saying small, cross‑functional teams. Each squad has a mission and a set of KPIs to monitor and improve. As an engineer you’ll be working in a squad, but you can also reach out to and work with anyone in the company. You will also be part of a Mobile engineering team, consisting of Mobile Product Engineers who share the same vision and passion of building an exceptional mobile team that will help people be financially better off. We follow a hybrid working model, with two in‑office days per week.
Value You’ll bring
- You want to build a product that makes people better off
- You’re excited about programming in Kotlin
- You have solid understanding of Jetpack Compose
- You still have intimate knowledge of the full Android stack and Android architecture patterns
- You want to collaborate on a cutting‑edge Android project
- You’re a designer’s best friend. You love being part of the design process and enjoy turning the design into a well‑crafted and delightful experience
- You’re a product person too — you understand the value and impact of your work
Fist‑bumps if you have
- Solid experience with Kotlin programming language
- Hands‑on experience with DI and Android architecture components
- Sound understanding of Git strategies, continuous integration setup, and automation
- Experience with unit testing
- An eye for design that you can transform into Material Design!
- A genuine interest in agile development processes
- Solid experience working with remote data via REST and JSON
We offer a compensation package consisting of base salary and equity, with compensation reviewed twice a year as part of our performance and growth framework. The salary range (annually gross) for this position is: €28.000–€49.000. Final compensation will be confirmed at the end of the hiring process and will be based on the level at which the candidate is assessed, taking into account their experience, expertise, and alignment with our internal competencies and leveling framework.
