Description For Android (Kotlin) Engineer

Zopa, pioneering the future of banking since 2005, is seeking a Mid-Level Android Engineer to join their Mobile Platform team. Originally starting as the first peer-to-peer lending company, Zopa has evolved into a full-fledged bank that's revolutionizing finance by putting customers first.

The role sits within the Mobile Platform team, which is responsible for the technical foundation of Zopa's mobile app, including architecture, shared capabilities, libraries, and infrastructure. As an Android Engineer, you'll be instrumental in elevating the mobile app experience, working primarily with Kotlin while collaborating with a diverse team of developers using React Native and Swift.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work on a high-impact product that serves as the primary customer touchpoint for Zopa's banking services. While the app currently uses React Native, there's an increasing focus on native development capabilities, making this an ideal time for a skilled Android developer to make a significant impact.

You'll be joining a company that's not just winning industry awards but has also been recognized as one of the UK's Most Loved Workplaces. The work environment promotes flexibility, with a hybrid working model that balances office collaboration with remote work, including the possibility of working abroad for up to 120 days annually.

The role demands a strong background in Android development, with particular emphasis on creating performant, robust, and delightful user experiences. You'll be working in a collaborative environment, partnering with designers, product managers, and backend developers to shape the future of mobile banking.

If you're passionate about quality, have a track record of building sophisticated Android applications, and want to be part of a company that's redefining banking while fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, this role at Zopa could be your next career move.
