*UK based candidates only* CITIZEN & DEPENDENTS

Are you a mobile enthusiast who lives for clean code and smooth UI transitions? We are looking for a Software Engineer with 1+ years of professional experience to join our engineering team.

At this stage in your career, you’ve moved past "Hello World" and are ready to tackle real-world scalability, complex APIs, and the occasional Gradle headache. If you’re eager to learn from seniors while making a tangible impact on a product used by thousands, let’s talk.

Responsibilities

• Feature Development: Collaborate with our product and design teams to build and ship high-quality features for our Android application.
• Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable code in Kotlin (and some legacy Java) while following modern architectural patterns (MVVM/MVI).
• UI/UX Implementation: Turn Figma designs into pixel-perfect layouts using Jetpack Compose or XML.
• Bug Squashing: Identify, debug, and fix performance bottlenecks and edge-case crashes.
• Continuous Learning: Participate in code reviews, contribute to technical documentation, and stay up-to-date with the latest Android Jetpack libraries.

What You Bring

• Experience: 1+ years of professional experience in Android development (internships count if they were high-impact!).
• Language Proficiency: Strong foundations in Kotlin and a solid understanding of Java.
• Android SDK: Familiarity with Activities, Fragments, Services, and Lifecycle components.
• Networking: Experience working with RESTful APIs using Retrofit and handling JSON data.
• Tooling: Proficiency with Git and a working knowledge of Android Studio.
• Mindset: A "can-do" attitude and the humility to ask for help when a bug just won't budge.
• A published app on the Google Play Store (send us the link!).
• Experience with Dependency Injection (Hilt/Dagger).
• Familiarity with Coroutines and Flow for asynchronous programming.
• A passion for Material Design 3.
• Mentorship: Work directly with Senior Developers who actually enjoy teaching.
• Tech Stack: We stay on the cutting edge—no ancient legacy codebases here.
• Growth: A clear path to becoming a Mid-level Developer within [Timeframe].
