Senior Android Engineer
Birmingham / Solihull | Hybrid – 3 days per week - upto £75,000
I’m working with a well-known consumer brand that is investing heavily in its mobile engineering function and looking to add a Senior Android Engineer to the team.
This is a genuinely hands-on senior role where you’ll be building and evolving high-traffic Android products, contributing to technical direction and helping raise engineering standards across a large mobile team.
You’ll work closely with Product, Design, Backend, QA and other mobile engineers, with plenty of scope to get involved in architecture, technical decision-making and mentoring less experienced developers.
What you’ll be doing
- Building and evolving native Android applications using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
- Contributing to technical design and architecture across the Android platform
- Working with modern patterns including MVVM, Clean Architecture and modularisation
- Owning features from initial design through development, testing and release
- Improving code quality, performance, reliability and maintainability
- Contributing to automated testing and CI/CD practices
- Supporting and mentoring other engineers within the team
- Working cross-functionally with Product, Design, Backend and QA
- Helping shape engineering standards and best practice across mobile
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What they’re looking for
You’ll ideally have strong commercial experience with:
- Kotlin
- Jetpack Compose
- Native Android development
- MVVM and/or Clean Architecture
- Coroutines / Flow
- Dependency injection such as Hilt or Dagger
- Unit and UI testing
- CI/CD and modern software delivery practices
- Git and code review
- Working within collaborative product engineering teams
Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform would be a bonus, but it isn’t essential.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
They’re particularly interested in engineers who are still very hands-on but are comfortable taking ownership, contributing to technical decisions and helping other engineers around them.
Why it’s worth a look
You’ll be joining a sizeable mobile engineering function with the opportunity to work on products used at serious scale, while still having plenty of influence over how things are built.
There’s a strong focus on modern Android development, engineering quality and continuous improvement, rather than simply maintaining legacy applications.
The role is hybrid from the Birmingham/Solihull area, with a minimum of 3 days per week onsite.
If you’re a Senior Android Engineer looking for a role where you can stay hands-on, work with modern Android technologies and have a bigger influence on the wider engineering team, get in touch.
