Senior Android Developer - upskill on iOS, software engineering background

Hybrid - one day per week in London office

to 75k (negotiable) + strong wider benefits

Our client is a digital surgery scale-up with a rapidly growing customer base across the UK, Europe, US and Australia, working with prestigious healthcare clients (including global medical device companies, state-wide US hospital networks, the NHS and large government institutions).

Sustained growth and a recent partnership with a billion-dollar US healthcare company has created this new opening for an expert native Android Developer - as they enter a transition phase where they’ll scale app usage by 10x over the next 12 months.

This role would suit a mobile developer with a strong software engineering background who has started their career focusing on Android, who is also interested in developing their skills on iOS. In the mobile team everyone works across both platforms.

A natural problem-solver committed and analytical, a high-energy person keen to learn while always being delivery minded, a self-starter for whom everything is possible, but the best solution is always the most appropriate one.

A Flavour Of The Role

Working with the Lead Mobile Developer to deliver the Android app

Growing as an iOS Developer, to help deliver the iOS app. (They have strong

source code parity between Kotlin/Swift, achieving very good cross-platform efficiency

within pure native codebases)

Ensuring strong source code parity across platforms

Modernising older parts of the codebase, e.g. moving legacy UI pages to Jetpack

Compose

Helping to introduce UI and snapshot test automation, to augment existing strong unit

tests

The Candidate We’re Seeking Will Be

Degree educated in Computer Science, Maths or similar, or have equivalent commercial

Experience

Highly skilled in native Android development

A desire to develop skills in native iOS development (Kotlin, Java, libraries)

Understanding of best practices for app development and testing

Understanding of software design patterns, including UI architectural patterns particularly

in regard to native mobile apps

Humility and desire to learn from anyone

In summary. A stunning career move!
