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.

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.
• 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.

• 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.

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.

• The opportunity to help shape a growing business, and to be a force for good.

• Benefits designed with your personal development and wellbeing in mind.

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

• 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.
