This is an opportunity to join early, shape a flagship Android application, and play a key role in building a product that aims to do something meaningful.

The Opportunity

• Build and own a native Android application using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
• Work on a product where AI & ML are embedded from day one, not bolted on later
• Develop on-device, privacy-preserving features (no data harvesting, no shortcuts)
• Collaborate with a small, experienced team who have built and scaled products before
• Influence technical decisions, architecture, and user experience from the start

What You’ll Be Doing

• Developing and maintaining a high-quality Android app using Kotlin & Jetpack Compose
• Integrating with shared Kotlin Multiplatform modules for business logic and data handling
• Implementing on-device ML features for personalised user experiences
• Building integrations with Google Fit and Health Connect for wearable data
• Working closely with design to deliver accessible, polished Material Design UI
• Optimising performance across devices, screen sizes, and Android versions
• Supporting Play Store submissions and release management

What We’re Looking For

• Strong commercial experience with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
• Solid understanding of modern Android architecture components and patterns
• Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform is highly desirable
• Familiarity with TensorFlow Lite and on-device ML is a plus
• Passion for building performant, accessible mobile applications
• Comfortable in early-stage environments where ownership and initiative matter
• Strong preference for candidates with industry experience

Why This Role

• Join a team building a brand-new product designed to genuinely help people
• The company is backed by a proven tech incubator with a track record of launching successful products used by millions globally
• Currently a small team, with plans to grow to 14–15 people within the next 6 months
• Work in a high-trust, no-ego culture where impact matters more than job titles
• Offered as a remote role, with the team valuing occasional face-to-face time at their South Coast office
• Competitive salary depending on experience, plus up to 10% performance-based bonus
• Strong benefits package including:
• 29 days holiday (inclusive)
• 5% matched pension
• Private healthcare
• Paid subscriptions
• Gym access
• Monthly retail & entertainment vouchers

If you’re an Android engineer who wants to build something that matters, have real ownership, and be part of an ambitious product journey from the very beginning — this is worth a conversation.
