We're on a journey to build the bank of the future, and we need your help! We're looking for experienced Senior Android Engineers (mobile engineer) to join our team. If you’re a self-motivated Senior Android Engineer and highly proficient in Android mobile development, then this is the role for you! Our digital platforms (public website, mobile & tablet app, and internet banking website) are where the majority of customer and colleague interactions with the bank take place. They are becoming increasingly sophisticated with the introduction of public API's, growing numbers of devices to access them from and evolving operating systems. We’re passionate about our shared passion for delivering new features for customers across our brands in the mobile space. The Retail Lab mobile teams are part of the Retail Transformation directorate and are fully agile teams that strive for excellence.
Your key accountabilities will include:
Architecture & Development:
* Design, implement, and maintain core Android libraries, frameworks, and tools used across the company’s Android applications.
* Development of scalable, reliable, and efficient code that enables the platform to evolve and support new features.
Platform Optimization & Performance:
* Analyse and optimize performance for the Android platform to ensure low memory usage, high responsiveness, and smooth user experiences.
* Conduct rigorous code and design reviews, ensuring high standards in terms of code quality, maintainability, and performance.
Tooling & Infrastructure:
* Build and maintain internal tooling, libraries, and components that improve developer productivity and application quality.
* Work with CI/CD pipelines to streamline testing, debugging, and deployment processes, ensuring fast and reliable releases.
Research & Innovation:
* Stay current with the latest Android SDK, tools, and industry trends; evaluate and integrate new technologies as appropriate to enhance the platform.
* Experiment with and promote innovative solutions to improve user experience and overall app quality on Android devices.
About you
* Strong experience with Android frameworks, multi-module architecture, dependency injection (e.g., Dagger/Hilt), and asynchronous programming (e.g., Coroutines).
* Proven track record in performance tuning, memory management, and debugging for Android applications at scale.
* Solid grasp of architecture patterns (MVVM/MVI, Clean Architecture) and modularization strategies for large codebases.
* Excellent communication skills with the ability to effectively collaborate with team members across different departments.
* Proficiency with Git, GitHub/GitLab.
* Experience in unit testing, UI testing, and familiarity with testing frameworks like JUnit, Espresso, and Robolectric.
Just so you know, we will be asking you to complete a technical task during the interview process. We hope you find it fun, interesting and challenging.
