About the Role

We're looking for an Android Engineer to build the native Android experience for our financial platform. You'll design and deliver secure, high-performance features that help users understand and manage their financial lives, while laying the foundation for a long-term mobile architecture. This is a hands-on, collaborative role where your work will directly shape the core experience our users rely on every day.

Why This Role Matters

Monstro's mobile app is central to how users interact with their financial universe. Your work will help define the quality, responsiveness, and trustworthiness of that experience. The systems you build must be secure, elegant, and resilient—handling sensitive financial data at scale while remaining intuitive and reliable.

What You'll Do

Android Application Development

Design, build, and maintain core features using Kotlin and modern Android frameworks (Jetpack Compose, AndroidX, Coroutines). Deliver smooth, intuitive user experiences that support complex financial workflows. Own feature development end-to-end—from architecture to implementation, testing, and release.

Architecture & Scalability

Establish architecture patterns (MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture) that support speed, maintainability, and long-term scale. Optimize performance, responsiveness, offline/online behavior, and data persistence. Build for speed and correctness in a regulated environment.

Integration & Data Handling

Integrate mobile clients with backend APIs, financial data systems, and third-party providers. Work closely with backend engineers to shape efficient API interactions and ensure seamless real-time data flows within the app.

Security & Compliance

Implement secure data handling practices required for financial applications. Ensure proper encryption, secure storage, authentication flows, and session management. Build with the rigor necessary for regulated, high-trust environments.

Collaboration & Execution

Partner with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to deliver cohesive, user-centered features. Contribute to architectural discussions, planning, and code reviews. Support engineering excellence through documentation, testing, and raising the overall technical bar.

What Success Looks Like

  • The Android experience is fast, secure, and reliable—earning user trust through performance and clarity.
  • The codebase is clean, scalable, and adaptable to rapid iteration and future features.
  • Architecture patterns are consistent, documented, and adopted across mobile engineering.
  • The app consistently meets Monstro's standards for performance, security, and usability in a regulated environment.
  • Collaboration, documentation, and technical rigor are elevated across the team through your example.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of professional Android development experience
  • Strong proficiency with Kotlin for Android development
  • Experience building and releasing production Android applications
  • Understanding of mobile architecture patterns (MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture)
  • Proficiency in other modern modern frameworks (Jetpack Compose, AndroidX, Coroutines)
  • Experience integrating with RESTful APIs and managing complex data flows
  • Strong grounding in secure data handling, encryption, and authentication
  • Skilled in debugging, performance tuning, and optimizing for real-world usage
  • Experience building Android applications with multi-language support
  • Clear communicator who thrives in a fast-paced environment
  • Ownership mindset with a focus on quality, security, and reliability

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for Android

  • Genuine passion for the craft of building software and curiosity to keep learning
  • Clear communicator who takes ownership and moves with urgency

Nice to Have

  • Experience with accessibility best practices
