This is an excellent opportunity for a driven candidate who can provide hands‑on engineering leadership and expertise to a full‑stack mobile app team. You will be passionate and experienced in designing and delivering scalable mobile applications interacting with API‑based platforms.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
* Specialising in Android, you will lead a full-stack feature team of mobile, API and quality engineers with a focus on predictable delivery and engineering excellence.
* Collaborate with fellow leads, solution architects, UI/UX designers, and product owners to define roadmaps, technical designs and unblock delivery.
* Lead by example by being a hands‑on contributor to the codebase and providing oversight and feedback via pull requests.
* Demonstrate leadership for mobile architecture and API and micro‑service design with deep knowledge in all aspects of Android development.
* Provide line‑management and personal development support for engineering team members.
* Develop tactical plans for optimisation of resources and assets being managed within a given area or department.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
* Proven experience in leading software engineering projects within large, distributed systems.
* Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and align diverse teams on a shared vision.
* Proven experience of modern application and software development approaches including automated testing, test‑driven development, continuous integration, pair programming, code review and version control.
* Proficiency in Kotlin, as well as a strong knowledge in Jetpack Compose.

* Confidence to express their own opinions and be pragmatic about modifying them when appropriate.
ABOUT WORKING FOR US
Our focus is to ensure we’re inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture. We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative. And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under‑represented groups.
We’re disability confident. If you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.
