Who you'll be doing it for

What you'll be doing

You'll also work on how features built by other teams fit into the app.
When your code is ready, you'll put it up for review. You'll review other people's code too.
Once a release is live, you'll keep an eye on Crashlytics. If something is crashing, you'll find out why and fix it.
You'll work closely with the QA and backend engineers, and speak up early when you spot a technical risk.
What's in it for you
You'll work with native Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on a government app, and see how features from other teams come together in it.
Most of it happens from home.
What you'll need to be considered
You need strong commercial experience in native Android development.
You should know Kotlin and Jetpack Compose well, and have used Crashlytics to keep an app stable.
You're comfortable in a small, fast-moving team. You're happy to say what you think in a code review.
