Senior Android Software Developer

As a Senior Android Engineer, you will work end-to-end on user-facing features, from translating designs into production code to optimising performance across a wide range of devices and screen sizes. You will help shape the Android side of the platform, contribute to architectural decisions, and coordinate Android engineers across regions.

You produce work that others can build on. You take ownership of features from design to production, and you write code that holds up under real-world device and performance variability. You are credible on architectural decisions because you have made them before and seen them play out.

Responsibilities:

• Develop new user-facing features for Android using Kotlin and Java.
• Build reusable components and libraries for future use across the platform.
• Translate designs and wireframes into high-quality production code.
• Optimise components for performance across mobiles, tablets, and connected TVs.
• Analyse and simplify complex requirements to ensure efficient implementation; flag potential technical challenges to stakeholders early.
• Coordinate the work of Android engineers across regions and contribute to engineering standards and best practices.

Requirements:

• 5+ years' relevant engineering experience, including a minimum of 2 years at Senior Android Engineer level.
• Deep proficiency in Kotlin, with working command of Java.
• Familiarity with Jetpack Compose.
• Thorough understanding of the Android SDK and system framework APIs.
• Experience with reactive programming using RxJava and its core principles.
• Demonstrated unit-testing practice with JUnit and Mockito.
• Solid grasp of mobile architectural patterns (MVC, MVVM, delegation, and similar).
• Familiarity with Google Play Services, Play Store account administration, and submission.
• Knowledge of mobile debugging and optimisation techniques.
• Comfortable with Git, build automation, and modern CI/CD practices.
• Fluent in written and spoken English.
• Experience working with a global team or employer.

Valued:

• Experience with video playback in mobile or web applications; familiarity with video production, audio/video encoding, and transmuxing.
• Experience creating frameworks or libraries embedded in other apps.
• Basic knowledge of iOS or web programming platforms useful for cross-platform context.
• Knowledge of, or interest in, cricket useful for editorial judgement on what the audience values.
