Senior Mobile Engineer (Android MP)

Join a team driving the next generation of Android development for a major, high-traffic consumer app. You’ll work at the core of an ambitious mobile modernisation effort — building high-quality Kotlin features, supporting modularisation, and helping explore new hybrid approaches.

Working closely with the Technical Architect and other engineers, you’ll be hands-on in delivering scalable, performant code while contributing to architectural improvements and platform evolution.

The Impact You’ll Make and Technology Stack

Of our architectural direction is to validate the viability of Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) as a tool to embed reusable business logic across our two native platforms. We're looking for experienced, senior/lead Kotlin engineers. The perfect candidate will have the following attributes:

Deep knowledge of Kotlin

Demonstrable, recent, production experience with Kotlin Multiplatform, ideally including cross-platform modules for Android and ios

A strong familiarity with the ioS/Swift ecosystem

Deep knowledge of the Android ecosystem

Extensive experience building mobile applications for a large audience, ideally in a news/publishing/media setting

Familiarity with hybrid applications, web technologies and JavaScript (e.g. the ability to debug webviews)

Practical understanding of software architecture concepts and their implementation

Technology Stack & Requirements

5–7 years of Android development experience, primarily with Kotli (MP)

Experience working on high-traffic, consumer-facing mobile applications.

Solid understanding of Android SDK, lifecycle management, coroutines, and performance optimisation.

Comfortable navigating Gradle builds, dependency management, and CI/CD pipelines.

Familiarity with modular architectures (e.g., feature modules, clean architecture).

Ability to read and maintain legacy Java code when needed.

What You’ll Bring

Strong engineering fundamentals and a commitment to clean, maintainable code.

Pragmatic approach to balancing delivery speed and technical quality.

Curiosity about new Android patterns and hybrid approaches.

Team-oriented mindset and openness to mentorship and feedback.

Desire to grow into broader architectural influence over time.
