Android Developer

Do you enjoy building polished mobile experiences that people use every day? Do you care about thoughtful engineering, clean architecture, and creating apps that feel fast, reliable, and intuitive?

Then this could be the role for you.

As part of our vision to enrich people’s lives through stories, we’re growing our Apps team by hiring an Android Developer to help us build seamless listening experiences for hundreds of thousands of users across Sweden, Norway, and Finland.

About this position

In this role, you’ll help shape how users experience our premium podcast and audiobook platform. You'll work closely with design, product, backend, QA, and DevOps to ensure the Podme Android app is high-performing, user-friendly, and continuously improving. You'll also participate in technical decisions, feature design, and the ongoing evolution of our Android platform.

What You'll Do

• Contribute to the implementation of scalable and modern architecture as defined by the team

• Develop, test, and deploy high-quality Android applications using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose

• Write clean, readable, and well-tested code in line with team standards

• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions with the team

• Collaborate across functions to help define, design, and deliver impactful product features

• Work closely with QA to support automation and ensure application stability

• Help improve existing code and reduce technical debt

What You Bring

You're an Android developer who enjoys building user-focused products and takes ownership of delivering high-quality solutions while working closely with product, design, backend and QA.

• You have a solid understanding of Kotlin and the Android SDK

• You have hands-on experience with Jetpack libraries

• You understand REST APIs and common mobile architecture patterns such as MVVM or Clean Architecture

• You have an understanding of automated testing and writing maintainable code

• You enjoy sharing knowledge and contributing to technical discussions and team improvements

• You have strong communication and collaboration skills

Bonus skills

• Experience with media playback or streaming applications

• Experience working with subscription-based consumer products

This is a mid-level role. You’ll work within an established architecture and receive support from senior engineers on larger technical decisions. We’re looking for someone who is ready to grow their technical ownership rather than someone who will own the Android architecture from day one

Why Join Podme?

We offer an environment where you can have real impact, collaborate with experienced engineers, and continue growing your technical and product development skills. We also offer:

• Strong engineering culture built on trust, autonomy, and continuous improvement

• Flexible working hours and hybrid setup with three days per week in our Stockholm office (remote work is not an option)

• Solid AI tooling to support you with your work

• International collaboration with teammates across Stockholm, Kraków and Sarajevo

• Great benefits through Schibsted: private healthcare, wellness allowance

• Free access to Schibsted's media products including premium news and podcasts
