About the Role
We are looking for an Android Developer with 1 - 2 years of hands-on
experience building and maintaining Android applications.
You will work closely with our product, design, backend, and engineering teams
to build reliable, polished, and scalable mobile experiences. This role is
ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems, cares about code quality, and
wants to take ownership of features from development through release.
What You'll Do
- Build
and maintain Android applications using Kotlin.
- Develop
new features based on product and design requirements.
- Work
with REST APIs and integrate backend services into the mobile application.
- Build
clean, reusable, and maintainable UI components.
- Debug
issues, investigate crashes, and improve application stability and
performance.
- Write
unit and integration tests where appropriate.
- Participate
in code reviews and contribute to improving engineering practices.
- Work
closely with backend engineers to define and integrate APIs.
- Collaborate
with product and design teams to turn requirements into high-quality
mobile experiences.
- Help
diagnose and resolve issues reported from QA and production.
- Stay
up to date with modern Android development practices and libraries.
What We're Looking For
A good candidate should:
- Be
comfortable taking a feature from requirements to implementation.
- Be
able to understand an existing codebase and make changes without breaking
unrelated functionality.
- Think
about edge cases rather than only the happy path.
- Write
code that other developers can understand and maintain.
- Be
comfortable investigating problems instead of immediately looking for
someone else to solve them.
- Communicate
clearly with both technical and non-technical team members.
- Have
a genuine interest in building good mobile products.
Requirements
- 1–2
years of professional Android development experience.
- Good
knowledge of Kotlin.
- Good
understanding of the Android SDK and Android application lifecycle.
- Experience
building Android applications using Android Studio.
- Experience
working with REST APIs, JSON, HTTP, and authentication.
- Familiarity
with Jetpack components, particularly ViewModel,
LiveData/StateFlow, Navigation, and Room.
- Good
understanding of Git and standard software development workflows.
- Ability
to troubleshoot, debug, and solve problems independently.
- Good
understanding of object-oriented programming and basic software design
principles.
Nice to Have
- Experience
with Flutter and Dart.
- Experience
with Jetpack Compose.
- Experience
with Firebase, including Crashlytics and Analytics.
- Experience
with push notifications and deep linking.
- Experience
writing automated tests.
- Understanding
of Android performance optimization.
- Experience
publishing applications through the Google Play Console.
- Familiarity
with CI/CD for Android applications.

working with third-party SDKs and payment integrations.
- Experience
using AI-powered coding and agentic programming tools, such as Anthropic
Claude, in day-to-day development.
Benefits
- Opportunity to work on real-world mobile applications.
- Exposure to modern Android development practices and technologies.
- Opportunity to work with AI-powered development and coding tools.
- Collaborative and supportive engineering environment.
- Learning and growth opportunities.
