Job description

Responsibilities
Kforce has a client that is seeking an Android Developer in Columbus, OH. Overview: The mobile banking app that millions of customers touch every day is being rebuilt around a modern, modular Android architecture - not screens bolted onto a monolith, not a decade of accreted tech debt, but a scalable, testable, high-performance app engineered to move fast without breaking underload. This team is doing that work: designing and shipping the architecture that powers next-generation mobile experiences across the Company's consumer surface area. What You’ll Be Working On:

• Write code, design systems, debug production issues, and push into an app that real customers depend on to move real money
• Work directly with product owners, mobile architects, and adjacent feature teams to take experiences from design mock to production on a one-year engagement that touches real customer volume from day one
• Designing and building feature modules in Kotlin with clean architecture (MVVM/MVI)
• Building declarative UI in Jetpack Compose - state hoisting, recomposition performance, custom layouts, and interop with legacy Views
• Managing async and reactive state with Coroutines and Flow - structured concurrency, backpressure, and lifecycle-aware collection
• Integrating with backend services (REST/GraphQL/gRPC), offline caching, and secure local storage
• Owning app performance - cold start, Jank/frame time, memory, and APK/bundle size
• Building and maintaining automated test suites (unit, UI/Espresso/Compose testing, screenshot tests) that catch regressions before they reach production
• Deploying through CI/CD pipelines with staged rollouts, feature flags, & crash/ANR monitoring
• Instrumenting the app for observability
• Participating in design & architecture reviews
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience shipping production mobile apps
• Deep, demonstrated Kotlin and Android SDK expertise
• Production experience with Jetpack Compose
• Strong grasp of Coroutines/Flow and modern Android architecture
• Experience with automated testing and CI/CD for Android
• Apps shipped to the Google Play Store at meaningful scale

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with modularized Gradle builds and multi-team codebases
• Experience in a regulated industry (financial services, healthcare, insurance) where compliance and auditability are engineering constraints, not afterthoughts
• Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) experience
• Performance optimization with Baseline Profiles and Macrobenchmark
• Dependency injection experience (Hilt/Dagger)
• Contributions to internal tooling, shared libraries, or design systems that other teams adopted
