Senior Android Developer

Senior Android Developer

Edinburgh | £50,000 - £58,000 | Permanent

Published: 04.09.24 Ref: BBBH47761_1725467964

Senior Android Developer for a medical technology company in Edinburgh (can work remotely in the UK).

The company are an award-winning MedTech company that provide both the public and medical professionals with simple, fast mobile applications that allow for affordable and accessible diagnosis of common medical issues.

Having secured impressive funding in the past, they've successfully secured more funding and are looking to grow their Mobile Development team off the back of this. This is a chance to join a company that is making a positive impact on society.

What will I be doing?

Great question!

You'll work across a few different projects which are a mix of brown and greenfield. They're building some SDKs so their app can be consumed by other companies, have their main Android app which is almost completely Kotlin now and have some other interesting projects on the horizon. They're in the process of moving over to Jetpack Compose, so if you have any experience of this, it'd be a massive bonus.

Although much of your time will be spent working on their Android applications, there is the opportunity to do some work on their iOS apps too, so experience working across Android and iOS would really make you stand out. They've also got a computer vision team, so any interest or experience in this field would also be interesting to them.

Who am I?

It's obviously pretty essential for that you've came from an Android Development background working with Kotlin. A Senior Developer to them is someone that is able to architect and deliver new features as well as mentor less experienced Developers. They are also happy to consider someone that is on the verge of mid & senior that is keen to take the step up.

They've built a great culture in the company, so away from the tech side, they're looking for people that will fit in well to that. As mentioned, they like people that can be autonomous and like people that come in and put their own ideas forward. As an example, the majority of their CI stuff has been implemented by someone that came into the business and was passionate about it.

Who will I be working with?

You'll obviously work very closely with the rest of the mobile team and especially with the iOS team. By the end of this recruitment drive, they'll have 3 iOS Developers, 3 Android Developers and a Mobile Lead.

You'll be working underneath an experienced Mobile Lead and alongside another experienced Senior Android Developer, who you'll be able to get guidance and advice from. Having helped the company to find the Mobile Lead, I know that they're super friendly and very strong technically too, so it's a great opportunity to learn.

With social good at the heart of what they do, not only are you getting a chance to work for what in my opinion will be one of the most exciting companies in Scotland, you'll also have a positive impact on the world.

How much will I be getting paid and where will I be based?

There is a budget of up to £58,000 for the role but they could potentially stretch this for someone spot on. With added benefits which include a strong holiday package, career growth and the chance to work on something that genuinely matters!

They're a remote-first company with shared office space in Edinburgh, with most of the tech team being in Edinburgh as well. Ideally, they'll find someone that is based near Edinburgh but they're more than happy to consider fully remote people too. The team do try and meet up for meetings once per month in Edinburgh so ideally, you'll be flexible enough to get involved in that. Interviews and on-boarding will all be done remotely.

Our clients

Candidates

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow
