• ASAP Start
• 6 month contract
• $120-125/hr

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Android Developer to join our client on an ASAP-start contract, working on the development and ongoing enhancement of a key mobile application.

About the role

This is a hands‑on senior Android development role within a cross‑skilled engineering team working across Android, iOS and backend development.

You’ll be involved across the full mobile development lifecycle: building features, integrating APIs and authentication services, automated testing, CI/CD, release management and supporting applications in production.

The team operates as a multi-disciplinary squad, so while your core expertise will be Android, experience across iOS, backend or cloud development would be a real advantage.

About you

You’ll bring strong commercial Android development experience, including:

• Kotlin, Kotlin Coroutines and Android Studio
• Jetpack Compose and Android SDK
• Android Architecture Components
• MVVM and/or Clean Architecture
• Navigation frameworks and deep linking
• Mobile application security
• GitHub, GitHub Actions, Fastlane and Gradle
• CI/CD pipeline development and maintenance
• Google Play / app release management
• Espresso, unit, UI automation and instrumentation testing
• Accessibility testing
• REST API integration
• Firebase, push notifications and authentication integrations
• Enterprise API integrations
• Code reviews, pull requests and Agile delivery
• Production support and monitoring

Experience with RealMe integrations would be particularly useful.

Highly desirable:

• Backend Java development
• Azure cloud services
• SQL and database development
• iOS / Swift development
• API design and development
• DevOps experience

You’ll be comfortable operating as a senior engineer, contributing to technical decisions and collaborating beyond the boundaries of Android development when required.

You must have the right to work in New Zealand and be available to start at short notice.
