About the Company:
Our client is an established, profitable product company in the fintech space, serving a large international user base with strong security and regulatory credentials. This is a product company with a real engineering culture and genuine ownership - not an agency or outsourcing shop.
About the Role:
Our client is hiring their first Lead Android Developer. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You write Kotlin every day AND set the company's Android engineering standard. You own the architecture, CI/CD, release pipeline, and security bar.
This is not a pure management role and not just a stronger IC. There are no formal direct reports - you earn influence through expertise and mentorship. Split is roughly 90% hands-on coding, 10% technical leadership.
Key Responsibilities:
·
Own the Android technical roadmap, architecture, and engineering standards from scratch
·
Write production Kotlin daily using Jetpack Compose, Coroutines & Flow
·
Own the full Google Play lifecycle: App signing, keystore management, release tracks, Play Console
·
Set up and improve Android CI/CD (GitLab CI, Bitrise, or Fastlane)
·
Enforce Android security standards: Keystore, EncryptedSharedPreferences, biometric auth, root detection, SSL pinning
·
Lead code reviews, set the PR quality bar, and mentor the Android team
·
Represent Android in cross-functional work with Product, Design, Backend, and QA
·
Own incidents and drive them to resolution end-to-end
What We Expect:
Must-have:
· 6+ years of commercial Android development in Kotlin: Idiomatic, not Java-in-Kotlin
· Proven technical leadership: Setting standards, driving architecture, raising the team's bar
· Deep Kotlin mastery: Coroutines, Flow, sealed classes, extension functions, DSLs
· Jetpack Compose in production: Real screens shipped, state management, theming, performance optimization
· Strong XML/View system foundation: ConstraintLayout, RecyclerView, custom views alongside Compose
· Architectural patterns at depth: MVVM + Clean Architecture; understands MVI trade-offs
· Jetpack suite ownership: ViewModel, StateFlow, Navigation, Room, WorkManager
· Dependency injection: Hilt/Dagger - set up the DI graph for a real multi-module project
· Networking: Retrofit + OkHttp, interceptors, token refresh, retry logic, error handling strategies
· Android security: EncryptedSharedPreferences, Android Keystore, biometric auth, root detection, SSL pinning
· Android CI/CD: GitLab CI, Bitrise, or Fastlane - has built or significantly improved a pipeline
· Google Play lifecycle: App signing, keystore management, release tracks, Play Console - full ownership
· Testing culture: JUnit, Mockk, Espresso or Compose testing - writes testable code and enforces it in review
· Code review leadership: Sets PR quality bar, gives actionable feedback, establishes standards others follow
· Active mentorship with measurable outcomes: Can describe specific developers and improvements
· Cross-functional communication: Works effectively with Product, Design, Backend, QA
· Ownership mindset: Drives problems to resolution end-to-end without being managed
· Languages: English(At least B2) for PRs and architecture proposals
Nice-to-have:
· Domain experience: Fintech, payments, or banking mobile apps
· KYC SDK integration (Sumsub, Onfido or similar) on Android in production
· Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile: Exposure or hands-on experience
· Performance profiling with Android Studio Profiler: Identified and fixed real production bottlenecks
· Payment SDK integration at Android level (Checkout.com, Stripe, or equivalent)
· Detekt, SonarQube, or static analysis tooling: Enforced across a codebase
· Real-time data: WebSocket or SSE for live prices, order status, or market feeds
· Experience interviewing: Participating in or leading Android technical hiring interviews
· Firebase suite: Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config, A/B testing — set up and owned team-wide
· Offline-first or sync-heavy mobile architecture experience
· Multi-module Android architecture: Designed or migrated a project to feature modules
· AI tools in daily development (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.)
How You Work:
· You write code every day and lead by example, not hierarchy
· You take full ownership of the Android platform, not just your tasks
· You make pragmatic decisions under uncertainty and commit
· You treat security and quality as non-negotiable
· You adapt fast and prefer low-bureaucracy, high-autonomy environments
What Does Success Look Like:
· First 30 days: Gets acquainted with the codebase, starts contributing, establishes the Android delivery pipeline, and understands team architecture, stack, and processes
· 90 days: Proposes an approach to documenting application architecture, actively participates in tech discussions and provides valuable, trusted input on development decisions
· 180 days: Demonstrates leadership, develops the engineers they lead, acts as the Android voice in cross-functional discussions, and owns incidents and leads their resolution end-to-end
Hiring Process:
- Interview with TR
- HR screening
- Technical interview
- Final interview with Head of Engineering + Tech Lead
We Offer:
· A founding opportunity to build Android engineering culture from scratch at a scaled, profitable company
· Modern stack: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, Flow
· Salary and the Logistics: €6,500 gross / month, remote-first, high autonomy
