Overview

My client is looking for a talented Android developer who gets excited about technology, loves learning new skills and wants to work for a company where building great software is a primary focus of the business. This is an opportunity to work for a progressive forward-thinking company where the products that the Development team build are essential to the success of the company. You will be working on new and interesting projects and gain exposure to the latest technologies, whilst at the same time having some fun and working with a great bunch of people. If you are passionate about creating great software and want to work somewhere where there is a pragmatic focus on being effective and doing things well, this could be the job for you. You will be working as a developer in one of our small, self-organising, cross-functional teams in a place that knows the application of agile means far more than just putting the word Scrum in the title of meetings. We are serious about the application of Scrum and if you come and work for them you will gain exposure to working in a mature agile environment. Maintaining a team-centric philosophy is fundamental to my client's success with scrum so everyone is encouraged to take responsibility; they share in success when things are going well and everyone owns the problems when they are not. Each team handles all aspects of delivery for the project they are working on; going from initial requirements all the way through to working, shippable software, as such you will be expected to contribute to all facets of the development process. Along with the rest of the team, you will be responsible for design, architecture and writing code for all areas of the product whether it be front end, server-side, database or even deployment and build infrastructure. My client's like specialists and you will get to focus on your area of specialism, however they prefer people that are interested in learning new things and enjoy contributing in other areas too. My client knows that everyone has different strengths and ambitions and that individuals bring different contributions to the team. They want you to be able to play to your strengths and be interested in what you do. If you are a genius coder and want to stay focused on the technology they aren't going to insist that you climb the management ladder to advance your career, they want you to be happy and they will reward you for doing what you do best. On the other hand, if your future ambitions lie in management or elsewhere they will see how they can help with those too. You won't find a stuffy inflexible corporate environment or approach, they like to be more relaxed and have fun while they work, however, they are very serious about delivering quality products and doing things well. They encourage continuous improvement and their teams are empowered to change the way they do things to ensure they always employ the most effective approach possible. Skills & Requirements Must have Excellent knowledge of Android Material design guidelines and best practices Experience of using the latest Android framework like Android Architecture Components (Room, Volley , ViewModel, LiveData) Excellent knowledge of building scalable code using dependency injection (Dagger, Koin), RXJava, Retrofit/Volley Experience of building complex Android applications using the latest design patterns (MVP, MVVM etc) Experience working with a variety of web services data formats (e.g. JSON, XML, ProtoBuf), architectural styles (e.g. REST, GraphQL) and authentication schemes (e.g. OAuth2.0) Excellent understanding of Junit, Mockito and Espresso. Good understanding of Gradle and the Android Studio build process Experience in developing applications in Kotlin Excellent written and verbal communication, problem solving and analytical skills Positive proactive attitude, willing to turn their hand to any problem, and willing to work things out when they fall outside their area of direct expertise. Eager to work as a member of a team and pitch in to ensure the team succeeds with its commitments.
