Android Developer - Kotlin, Jetpack Compose | Contract | Outside IR35

I'm working with a client who is embarking on a full rewrite of their customer-facing mobile app - and they're looking for a Senior Android Developer to lead the way.

You'll need strong, hands-on experience with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, and ideally, you've already played a key role in rebuilding apps from the ground up. This is a Senior/SME-level role where your influence will stretch beyond writing code - the team will look to you for technical leadership, guidance on best practice, and mentoring throughout the project.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing and developing white-label Android applications

• Defining and implementing best practices for setting up new apps

• Collaborating with stakeholders to understand and shape requirements

• Offering hands-on mentorship and technical direction to the wider dev team

What we're looking for:

• Deep experience as an Android Developer with a strong grasp of Android app architecture and UI design principles

• Excellent Kotlin skills, including use of Flows, extensions, and higher-order functions

• Proven Jetpack Compose experience, with strong knowledge of Jetpack libraries

• Previous experience in greenfield/rebuild projects from scratch

• Confident troubleshooting and performance optimisation skills

• Experience with RESTful APIs, TDD, Unit Testing and Automation

• Agile (SCRUM) background

• Solid DevOps knowledge: CI/CD with Git and Azure DevOps

• Comfortable in fast-paced, collaborative environments
