The bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of LHV Group, a listed financial services provider headquartered in Estonia. LHV Bank operates under a full UK banking licence granted in May 2023.\nThe Bank supports over 200 fintech clients with embedded financial infrastructure, provides retail savings products via digital channels, and offers SME credit solutions across the UK. In line with its regulatory responsibilities and growth ambitions, LHV Bank is committed to maintaining a robust and proportionate financial crime control environment.\nExpanding our services, LHV Bank now provides personal banking solutions. Our offerings include current accounts with competitive interest rates, fixed-rate bonds for long-term savings, and debit cards. Customers can conveniently access these services through the LHV App, enabling secure account opening and management.\nAbout the team \nYou'll join LHV Bank's Retail Banking team, a cross-functional group of iOS, Android and Backend engineers working alongside Product and Design to build the app customers use to manage their money: accounts, cards, payments, savings, deposits, and onboarding/KYC. The Android codebase is modular and Kotlin-first, organised into independent core and feature modules. \nAbout the role \nWe're hiring a Senior Android Engineer to take a leading technical role on the app. You'll own meaningful feature areas end to end, raise the bar on code quality and architecture, and mentor engineers across the team. You'll work closely with product, design, and backend engineering to ship features that are secure, fast, and genuinely good to use. There's also the option to contribute to our Kotlin backend-for-frontend (BFF), for engineers who want exposure across the stack. \nWhat you'll work on \nDesign, build, and maintain features across our Android app, from UI in Compose through to networking and data layers. \nDrive architectural decisions for the modules you own and write or review ADRs for significant changes. \nImprove app performance, stability, and startup/runtime metrics. Use best practices in observability to investigate and resolve production issues. \nReview code and mentor other engineers, with particular focus on architecture, testing, and Compose best practices. \nContribute to the CI/CD pipeline, build tooling, and test strategy (unit, screenshot, and instrumented tests). \nWork directly with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to shape features from spec to release. \nOptionally pick up work on our Kotlin BFF, if you want to build depth on the backend side too. \nOur stack \nKotlin-first, Jetpack Compose-native \nCoroutines + Flow for fast, reactive UX \nHilt for clean, scalable dependency injection \nKtor powering app networking and our Kotlin BFF \nMulti-module, feature-first architecture \nGit-based CI/CD \nWhat we're looking for \nSignificant production Android experience, with strong, hands-on Kotlin skills. \nSolid experience with Jetpack Compose and modern declarative UI patterns. \nComfort with coroutines/Flow for asynchronous and reactive code. \nExperience with a DI framework and modular app architecture (MVVM/MVI). \nExperience connecting Android apps to backend services via REST/networking libraries (Ktor, Retrofit, or similar). \nA track record of writing tested, maintainable code, and reviewing others' code constructively. \nAwareness of mobile security best practices, given we're a regulated bank handling financial data. \nStrong communication skills and comfort working directly with product and design. \nNice to have \nExperience in fintech, banking, or another regulated industry. \nExperience with screenshot/visual regression testing. \nFamiliarity with using AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) as part of a professional workflow. \nExperience mentoring engineers or leading technical initiatives. \nWhy LHV Bank \nWe're building a digital bank from the ground up, which means you're not maintaining someone else's decade-old stack. You'll own what you build, work with a team that cares about doing engineering properly, and see your code reach customers fast, not stuck behind six months of process. \nSome of our benefits (only applicable to UK based roles not Internship programmes) \nCompetitive salary &lots of opportunities to learn, grow and progress professionally.\nOpen and inclusive culture. \nHybrid working.\nFantastic offices and great working environment.\nVitality Health Plan (includes private health insurance, travel insurance, gym discounts) \nHealth cash Plan (Medicash health plan Level 3)\n6% employer pension contribution.\nLife assurance - 4 x salary.\nIncome protection insurance - 75% \n28 days holiday plus 3 additional days, & further days for various key life events as well as the opportunity to sell up to 5 days per calendar year.\nSwap public/bank holidays each year for alternative days that align with your personal, cultural, or religious observances. \nEnhanced family friendly and family forming policies.\nAccess to a wide range of retail discounts. \nTeam Socials.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5175,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commercial & Retail Banks","Financial Software & Embedded Finance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T22:14:22Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Senior or Specialist Worker, Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker;
