We are looking for a skilled Android Developer to join our growing team. This role is ideal for someone with strong Kotlin skills, a deep understanding of the Android ecosystem, and experience integrating mapping or spatial technologies into mobile applications. You will play a key role in delivering intuitive, high-performance mobile solutions, working closely with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, agile environment.

What are you expected to do?

Android Development

• Design, develop, and maintain Android applications in Kotlin (primary) and Java (as needed).
  Optimize app performance, memory usage, and background task handling.
• Ensure code is scalable, maintainable, and aligned with Android best practices.
• Implement unit and UI tests; contribute to CI/CD pipelines for continuous deployment.
  
  

UI/UX Implementation

• Translate complex workflows into intuitive user interfaces.
• Implement responsive and accessible UIs across Android devices.
• Apply Material Design principles to maintain a consistent and modern look and feel.
• Build UIs using Jetpack Compose or traditional XML layouts, as appropriate.
  
  

Spatial Technology Integration

• Integrate Google Maps API into mobile applications.
• Work with spatial data models and geospatial designs, particularly for network planning or infrastructure.
  
  

Architecture and Data Management

• Follow architectural patterns such as MVVM or Clean Architecture.
• Design offline-first apps with effective local caching, sync, and conflict resolution strategies.
• Integrate with RESTful APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and real-time data sources.
• Use Android Jetpack libraries, Coroutines, and Dagger/Hilt for modern, efficient development.
  
  

Team Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with product managers, backend engineers, and UX designers.
• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies and manage work using tools like Jira.
• Conduct code reviews, use Git for version control, and maintain documentation standards.
  
  

You'll be a great fit if:

• You have at least 5+ years of experience in Android application development using Kotlin; familiarity with Java for maintaining legacy code.
• You have a proven experience working in a pioneering or startup environment, with involvement in the end-to-end development lifecycle — from requirements gathering and design to development, testing, and deployment.
• You have solid experience in implementing various levels of testing including unit tests, instrumentation and UI tests, API testing, and end-to-end testing to ensure app quality and reliability across components.
• You have a solid understanding of Android SDK, lifecycle management, and background processing.
• You have experience with UI frameworks (Jetpack Compose or XML), Material Design, and responsive layout strategies.
• You have knowledge of offline-first architectures, backend integration, and automated testing.
• You have experience with Android Jetpack (LiveData, ViewModel), Coroutines, and dependency injection tools like Dagger or Hilt.
• You have strong communication skills and ability to work in a cross-functional team setup.
• You have a familiarity with Agile development methodologies and version control (Git).

We will be absolutely thrilled if you also have the following:

• You have a background in construction tech, telecommunications, or utility infrastructure.
• You have experience building applications for field service or workforce management.
• You have a familiarity with spatial data systems and geospatial workflows.
