• Work with senior engineers across other teams to ensure that our mobile offering stays compelling both for end-users and for the engineers working on it.

• You'll work to achieve the goals and vision shared by Product Management and your more senior Tribe community.
• Innovate within your team, initiative area and contribute within your technical domain.
• Be a helpful, approachable and inquisitive problem-solver with excellent technical, supportive and communication skills and a demonstrable track record of continuous learning and improvement, to help us deliver frequent releases of high quality software in a complex regulated environment.

What we're looking for:

• Strong programming skills with a good knowledge of Kotlin and Java alongside modern Android toolsets like Android Studio, JUnit and Espresso.
• A capable, technical lead, who is willing to help grow and guide more junior engineers towards appropriate target architectures
• A deep understanding of the Android platform and how it can be leveraged on a large enterprise scale consisting of multiple teams
• You're excited by the cloud/AWS and the opportunities that it brings
• You're able to effectively communicate and work together across engineering to maximise inner-sourcing opportunities and reduce waste
• You'll have a proven ability to deliver high quality applications at scale.
