- Develop new user-facing features for Android using Kotlin and Java
- Build reusable components and libraries for future use across the platform
- Translate designs and wireframes into high-quality production code
- Optimise components for performance across mobiles, tablets, and connected TVs
- Analyse and simplify complex requirements to ensure efficient implementation; flag potential technical challenges to stakeholders early
- Coordinate the work of Android engineers across regions and contribute to engineering standards and best practice
Requirements :
You produce work that others can build on. You take ownership of features from design to production, and you write code that holds up under real-world device and performance variability. You are credible on architectural decisions because you have made them before and seen them play out.
