Android Engineer

About the role

This role focuses on building and maintaining Android applications, requiring proficiency in Kotlin and familiarity with Java. The engineer will utilize tools like Android Studio, Jetpack Compose, Gradle, and Git to develop features. A key aspect of the work involves shipping consumer applications to Google Play, including managing testing tracks and production releases, demonstrating an end-to-end understanding of the app lifecycle.

The position demands a strong grasp of asynchronous programming using Coroutines, Flow, or RxJava, along with experience in architectural patterns such as MVVM or MVI. Success in this role means delivering robust, well-tested code, as there is a commitment to unit testing and automated CI/CD pipelines. The engineer will contribute to a distributed team, requiring clear communication and a proactive approach to feedback and iteration.

Ideal candidates will have 2-5 years of professional Android development experience, including the successful launch of at least one consumer app. While not mandatory, an interest in crypto or fintech, knowledge of app security, or familiarity with automated UI testing frameworks would be beneficial. The company values a growth mindset, looking for individuals who continuously seek to improve their skills and contribute to team success.
