About the Role

Most Important

• 5+ years of senior native Android engineering, with expert Kotlin and Jetpack Compose

• Strong backend engineering expertise

• Production experience building offline-first apps with SQLite, including local caching, schema migrations, and thread-safe data synchronization

• Kotlin Coroutines and Flow, used to keep UI rendering separate from background network work

• Hands-on experience with gRPC, Protocol Buffers, and automated code generation on Android

• Clean Architecture, MVVM or MVI, and dependency injection with Hilt or Dagger

• Android security fundamentals: Android Keystore or EncryptedSharedPreferences, certificate pinning, and OAuth2

• Able to work onsite in Melbourne for the first 2 to 4 weeks

Nice to Have

• Experience building or using code-generation tools that map API definitions to SQLite schemas and DAO interfaces
• LaunchDarkly or similar feature flagging, for staged rollouts and instant kill-switches
• Working knowledge of iOS patterns (Swift and SwiftUI), so you can keep behavior consistent with the iOS squad
• FinTech background: financial dashboards, Open Banking (Consumer Data Right) flows, or retail banking apps

Personal Traits

• You prefer strongly typed contracts over loose JSON, and you like it when tooling generates the boilerplate for you.

• You treat security and penetration test findings as part of the build, not a review at the end.

• You share context easily, with a new team onsite in the first weeks and with iOS colleagues after that.
