Your day-to-day We’re searching for product-focused Android engineers to evolve our native mobile app. You’ll take pride in building polished user experiences, and you’ll balance the need for well-tested resilient code with moving fast and iterating. You’ll be working on a product that is a part of day to day life for more than 15 million people already, and your work here will shape the way that people interact with their finances. As an Android Engineer you'll work in a small, autonomous product squad alongside iOS Engineers, Backend Engineers, User Researchers, Product Designers, Product Managers, QA Testers, and Data Scientists.

Mobile engineers work on everything from the personal banking product to customer support tools. We also have a small mobile platform squad dedicated to enabling other engineers to move faster. Every week we meet as an Android discipline to discuss tools, techniques, problems we're encountering across the company and work together to improve our codebase and processes. You'll report to an engineering manager who will meet with you every 1-2 weeks 1:1. They’re dedicated to helping you grow and develop as an engineer. Our Android app Our app is 100% Kotlin, built using MVVM (Model View ViewModel) and Coordinators, and modularised by product feature. Around 95% of the codebase is in Compose. We use Coroutines, Retrofit and Moshi for API calls and Metro for dependency injection. Room is our choice for persistence, and we use repositories for interacting with data. We use GitHub Pull Requests to do code reviews, and write unit tests for our ViewModels, Coordinators, and any other classes which contain logic. We write tests for all of our Compose screens and snapshot test them with Happo. We also use Espresso to test flows, which are executed via our continuous integration system.
