Engineer building technology in London

We're looking for an Android Engineer to join our Technology team to own and evolve the Yoto app experience that millions of families use to connect with their players, discover audio, and manage their kids' listening.

About Yoto: Yoto is a screen-free interactive audio platform for kids. We make carefully connected audio players that kids control, with no microphones, cameras or ads. We have a catalogue of audio that inspires creative play and learning with 1,000+ titles in our card store from top creators, publishers and labels - think Disney, Marvel, Roald Dahl and Universal Music. Voted the 14th fastest-growing private software technology company in Britain in The Sunday Times 100 Tech 2025; and ranked second fastest growing tech company in the UK in the Deloitte Fast50.

We're on a mission to be the soundtrack of childhood, and help families on their own unique adventures. By creating products that inspire independent play, we help families discover and grow with an inspiring world of audio - and we would like you to help us achieve it!

Yoto's Android Team: The Android app is designed to support parents giving them access to their whole content library, enable them to make their own content, set player settings & remote control the Yoto player, play content on their phone and in the car, and purchase more content via our Discover hub in the app. We are particularly committed to improving performance and stability, as evidenced by our excellent crash-free rate and App Store reviews. Our codebase is using Kotlin and we've been on a journey to migrate screens to Compose.

We're looking for an Android engineer to join our small, experienced team. You'll be product-oriented and care about how people will use and interact with the software they're building.

• Build and ship new high-quality features and improvements for the native Android app, following best practices and platform guidelines.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver exceptional user experiences.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and iterative improvements to maintain a high-quality and scalable codebase as we grow.
• Use automation and AI-augmented tooling to work efficiently and keep your focus on the things that really matter.
• You care about the team shipping quality. You'll flag blockers, support others, and invest in shared quality.
• You've spent several years building Android apps and are comfortable picking things up quickly and getting to something useful early.
• You have native Android Kotlin development experience.
• You have experience with UI, unit and Snapshot testing.
• Experience with A/B testing.

Salary: 60,000 - 70,000 based on experience.

How we use AI at Yoto: We think using AI to work smarter is part of the job. At Yoto, we use AI to help us move faster and reduce manual work so we can focus our time on creativity, problem-solving and impact. We don't want to use AI to cut corners - it's about smart usage that makes space for the work that really matters. Our intention is to be thoughtful about how we use AI. We don't expect everyone to be an AI expert, but we do expect people to be curious, to experiment, and to keep improving how they work. AI should help us move faster, not change what makes working here great.
