Job description

Various shift patterns needed to support international customers

About Us

About MishiPay

MishiPay is a global leader in next-generation checkout technology, enabling seamless in-store purchases via shoppers’ own smartphones or our minimalist, low capex kiosks.

We provide a complete checkout ecosystem - spanning self-checkout, Mobile POS, Click & Collect and traditional tills - allowing retailers to run their entire store checkout operation on MishiPay.

Our technology reduces operating costs, increases basket size and visit frequency, lowers abandonment, and unlocks rich, real-time customer data, delivering both immediate commercial impact and deeper insight into the in-store customer journey. We now have major international retail customers in the UK, Europe, Middle East and the USA, and we’re expanding!

About The Role

We are looking for a skilled Android Front-End Developer to design, develop, and maintain high-quality Android applications. The role involves building intuitive and responsive user interfaces, integrating backend services, optimising application performance, and collaborating closely with Product, Design, QA, and Backend Engineering teams to deliver seamless mobile experiences. This is not a senior role, but we are looking for someone who has at least a year of Android and Kotlin experience, who is willing to learn and develop.

We’re looking for an individual to cover various shift patterns to support the US, Australian and EMEA customers, over 5 days/nights a week, including Sundays. The night-time shift will benefit from a shift allowance.

About You

You'll have up to two years experience as an Android Front-End Developer with strong expertise in Kotlin and modern Android development. Ideally, you'll have experience supporting production applications, troubleshooting issues, and working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver an exceptional user experience.

Not only will you be technically proficient, but you'll also possess excellent English communication skills , as you'll be collaborating with our international customers and internal stakeholders to support MishiPay implementations.

The ideal candidate will have strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, hands-on experience with Jetpack Compose, XML-based UI development, REST APIs, and modern Android architecture (MVVM/Clean Architecture). You'll be comfortable debugging complex issues, optimising application performance, and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a fast-paced Agile environment.

If you're a startup enthusiast who is passionate about solving complex problems and wants to learn something new everyday, we'd absolutely love to speak to you!
