Want to join the Team transforming the Global Insurance industry?

Here at The Floow, we harness the power of data and social science to influence driver behaviour and cut down on road risks. By joining our mission, you’ll be helping to make driving smarter, safer, and more affordable for everyone.

What you’ll be doing

As our business grows and evolves, we like to think you will too. But for now this role is focused on:

• Contributing to the development and improvement of our native shared codebase and toolchain. Our technology is used to produce an SDK and a range of white label Android applications that we can customize to meet the requirements of our clients.
• Supporting our ongoing product and technology improvement and refactoring efforts. Improving the speed and quality of our automated testing. Working to adapt our existing technology, build proof-of-concepts for new technology, and contribute to the exploration of new app designs or new mobile products on an ongoing basis.
• Contributing to the overall performance of the Mobile Team. As well as completing your own assigned tasks, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in the planning of broader technical initiatives within the team, proposing changes and new ideas where appropriate. Additionally, you’ll contribute to the team-wide breakdown of tasks and sharing of information, helping find effective ways to complete tasks and document work; contributing to the sustained success of the organisation.
• Developing your ability to operating autonomously within the team. You should be able to help refine loosely defined tasks and carry them through to completion within an established software development environment. You will also be responsible for continuously working to mature your knowledge of the domain area.
• Supporting knowledge share and developing best practice with the Mobile and wider Technology Team. Regularly share product knowledge attained on the job with other team members.

Sound good? We’d love to hear from you, if you have:

• Proficiency in Android programming in both Kotlin and Java.
• Significant experience of Native Android development.
• Significant experience of Version Control and automated build systems (Git and Jenkins).
• Experience of UNIX / LINUX command line.
• Experience consuming RPC style services (Thrift, REST, etc).
• Willingness to use Kotlin Compose, and knowledge of UX best practices.
• Strong interpersonal and relationship building skills, with the ability to collaborate with colleagues from a variety of business functions in collaborative/dynamic teams.
• Fluency in English, with strong verbal and written communication skills. As an example, you should be able to communicate your rationale for software development changes, and explain the benefits and/or limitations during discussions with product managers.
• Experience of both BDD and TDD, and willingness to work to refactor existing code for testability.
• Experience working with technology that has privacy and security related requirements.
• Understanding of, and the ability to apply, a suitable level of unit and behavioural test code.
• A professional and pragmatic mindset, and the ability to serve as a reliable and self-sufficient colleague within our team.

For this role there is some additional experience we’d love to see (desired but not essential):

• Some experience of supporting non-mobile developers with using hybrid mobile development tools (Cordova, ReactNative, Flutter, etc).
• Some experience of working on Android behavioural testing and/or power efficient background code.
• A Degree (or equivalent formal qualification/s) in Computer Science or a related subject.
• Experience building libraries/frameworks and APIs.
• A good understanding of DI and similar frameworks.
• Experience working with microelectronics or bluetooth low energy devices.

We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion, as well as how you can enhance The Floow and our culture. Don’t meet all our criteria? If you like our story and think you have what it takes to hit the ground running - let us know! We value diversity, and the benefits that a broader skillset and a great attitude can bring.

What’s in it for you?

We are ambitious. Our mission motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of genuine collaboration, innovation, and fun too. We offer:

• The opportunity to help shape a growing business, and to be a force for good.
• Flexible Working and Leave options that empower you to have a job and a life.
• Benefits designed with your personal development and wellbeing in mind.

Other practical details, we know you might be wondering about:

• Full-time, permanent position.
• Our typical working hours are 9am – 5.30pm, but with a client base that spans across the US and Europe this role does require occasional flexibility from time to time.
• Part-of our Technology Team, the role reports to the Lead Android Engineer.
• All our employees work fully remotely, but we do get together as a team from time-to-time in Sheffield, UK - our original home.
• Must be a UK resident for tax purposes, and have the right to work in the UK.
• This is not a People Management role.
• Interviews are conducted virtually, though we may request an in-person final interview on occasion.
