Experience with, or an openness to working with, frameworks such as React Native and Flutter would be highly valued.

We hire for passion, potential and mindset as much as credentials. If you think you'd be incredible in the role, then apply - even if you don't think you tick every box. What you'll bring: Core Language & Framework Expertise: Exceptional proficiency in Kotlin and Java, backed by a deep understanding of the Android SDK, core threading, offline storage, and performance tuning.

Ecosystem & Optimisation: Broad knowledge of the open-source Android landscape—leveraging top-tier third-party libraries for common tasks, benchmarking, and fine-grained optimisation. Quality & Engineering Practices: Proven track record in writing reliable UI tests, maintaining clean software development lifecycles, and working fluently with modern code versioning workflows like Git.
