Senior Android Engineer

Senior Android Engineer Birmingham / Solihull | Hybrid – 3 days per week - upto £75,000 I'm working with a well-known consumer brand that is investing heavily in its mobile engineering function and looking to add a Senior Android Engineer to the team. This is a genuinely hands-on senior role where you'll be building and evolving high-traffic Android products, contributing to technical direction and helping raise engineering standards across a large mobile team. You'll work closely with Product, Design, Backend, QA and other mobile engineers, with plenty of scope to get involved in architecture, technical decision-making and mentoring less experienced developers. What you'll be doing

• Building and evolving native Android applications using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
• Contributing to technical design and architecture across the Android platform
• Working with modern patterns including MVVM, Clean Architecture and modularisation
• Owning features from initial design through development, testing and release
• Improving code quality, performance, reliability and maintainability
• Contributing to automated testing and CI/CD practices
• Supporting and mentoring other engineers within the team
• Working cross-functionally with Product, Design, Backend and QA
• Helping shape engineering standards and best practice across mobile What they're looking for You'll ideally have strong commercial experience with:
• Kotlin
• Jetpack Compose
• Native Android development
• MVVM and/or Clean Architecture
• Coroutines / Flow
• Dependency injection such as Hilt or Dagger
• Unit and UI testing
• CI/CD and modern software delivery practices
• Git and code review
• Working within collaborative product engineering teams Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform would be a bonus, but it isn't essential. They're particularly interested in engineers who are still very hands-on but are comfortable taking ownership, contributing to technical decisions and helping other engineers around them. Why it's worth a look You'll be joining a sizeable mobile engineering function with the opportunity to work on products used at serious scale, while still having plenty of influence over how things are built. There's a strong focus on modern Android development, engineering quality and continuous improvement, rather than simply maintaining legacy applications. The role is hybrid from the Birmingham/Solihull area, with a minimum of 3 days per week onsite.
