• Collaboration & Mentoring: Work effectively with product and design teams to refine features, and participate in code and design reviews to ensure high software quality. You’ll also get to mentor junior engineers on the team.
• Integration & Optimisation: Integrate APIs and third-party services like Firebase, and collaborate with backend teams on API development. You'll also diagnose and resolve technical issues to optimise app performance.

What You'll Bring To The Team

• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of experience developing native Android applications with Kotlin.
• Expertise in the Android SDK, Jetpack libraries, and Material Design principles.
• Proven experience with asynchronous programming using Coroutines and Flow, and MVVM or Clean Architecture principles.

• Proficiency in unit and UI testing frameworks like JUnit and Espresso.
• A portfolio of Android apps you have developed and successfully published on the Google Play Store.
