Job description

Working at CreateFuture

CreateFuture is an AI-native consulting partner where people do work that matters and are supported to do it well. We work alongside organisations such as PayPal, adidas, NatWest, FanDuel and MoneySavingExpert, building digital products and services that make a difference while always putting people first.

We’re a team of creators. We write code, shape delivery, build go-to-market strategies, develop AI solutions and create the practices that support our people. We work side by side with our clients, challenging what’s not working and helping them to build the future. Our commitment to craft, quality, and culture has helped us scale to over 600 people in just a few years.

• 35 days leave (including bank holidays).
• Private medical insurance.
• Enhanced parental and adoption leave.
• 40 hours of paid learning and development.

Join us on our journey. Let’s create tomorrow, together, today.

About the role and team

Our iOS and Android teams work simultaneously to bring similar but distinct experiences to our clients.

Our Android developers use Kotlin, Coroutines and the latest Jetpack libraries. As we continue we’re always looking to find and adopt the best tools for the job – whether that’s making our CI better with automated code scanning and UI testing or developing reusable libraries that we can share across projects.

We conduct unit testing across all our projects, code is always peer reviewed, and we encourage these reviews to happen “over the shoulder” (or on a call more recently) to make it a better environment for team members to learn from each other. As a team we meet regularly to discuss new approaches and challenges, whether that’s within our project teams or in the wider mobile community.

What you’ll be doing

• Building high-quality mobile apps with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), sharing business logic across Android and iOS
• Writing clean, maintainable, and well‑tested code using Kotlin, Coroutines, and modern Android development practices
• Creating intuitive, responsive user interfaces with Jetpack Compose
• Working closely with designers, product owners, testers, and clients in a collaborative, agile environment
• Championing engineering excellence and best practices in both KMP and Android development

We’d love to talk to you if you are

• Have strong experience in native Android development and are confident with the latest Android frameworks and tools
• Have hands‑on experience with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and understand how to architect shared codebases across platforms
• Care deeply about code quality, testing, and clean architecture principles
• Thrive in cross‑functional teams and enjoy collaborating with others to build great products
• Are excited about the potential of KMP and passionate about pushing mobile development forward

What we’ll offer you

We trust people to do their best work. That means flexibility over rigid rules, impact over activity, and real investment in your growth both professionally and personally. You’ll be part of a supportive, friendly culture, surrounded by smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do.

We offer flexible working, including hybrid and remote options. Our office hubs are located in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London and Bulgaria, with occasional travel to client sites or CreateFuture offices when needed.

We trust you to manage your time balancing collaboration with client time and focused work. What matters is the impact you have, not how busy you look.

Our hiring process

We try to keep our hiring process clear, fair and respectful of your time. We aim to get back to everyone who applies and we will be upfront about where you are in the process.

It usually looks like this:

• Call with our Talent Acquisition Team
• Role specific capability interview

Depending on the role, we might also ask you to do a short presentation, a practical or technical task or have a values focused conversation. We will explain what is involved before anything happens.

Inclusion at CreateFuture

We believe diverse teams build better workplaces and better products. We want CreateFuture to be a place where people feel able to be themselves and do their best work.

If you need any adjustments or support during the application process, just let us know. We will do what we can to help.

We look forward to your application!
