Android Developer - Oldham – Hybrid (3 days onsite)
Up to £52,000 + benefits
An established technology company in Oldham is looking for an Android Developer to join its software team as it develops a new generation of Android-based products.
The company develops technology and hardware used by customers internationally and has built Android applications internally for a number of years. Historically, these have primarily been supporting and reference applications used alongside its devices.
That's now changing.
Android is becoming an increasingly important part of its product offering, particularly around a new range of payment devices, and they're looking for someone with strong commercial Android experience to join the team.
You'll initially work on a new Android-based payment product, helping to develop the application layer before progressing into integration with payment functionality, peripheral devices and other hardware.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
They're particularly interested in someone who has worked on production-quality Android applications and understands the standards, testing and development practices required to take an Android product from development through to commercial use.
You'll be joining an established software and firmware function, so there are plenty of experienced engineers around you, but you'll bring commercial Android knowledge that will complement the existing team.
What they're looking for
- Around 2–5 years' commercial Android development experience
- Experience building production Android applications
- Strong understanding of the Android ecosystem and modern development practices
- Experience integrating applications with APIs, external services or devices
- An understanding of testing and how to build reliable commercial Android applications
- Comfortable working as part of a wider software and hardware engineering environment

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience working with payments, payment integrations, payment devices or other hardware/peripheral integrations would be particularly useful, although we're also interested in strong Android Developers from other commercial backgrounds.
The role is based in Oldham with an initial expectation of around three days per week onsite. Salary is up to £52,000, although there may be some flexibility for an exceptional candidate.
If you're an Android Developer interested in working on something a little different from a typical mobile app — particularly where software, payments and physical devices meet — please apply or get in touch with Stuart Manderson for more information.
