Full description

At Sytac, we build high-performing engineering teams for leading organizations. We combine a pragmatic, people-first culture with technical craftsmanship, giving engineers autonomy in real production environments.

For one of our key clients in the Netherlands, we are looking for a Senior Android Engineer to build features for millions of banking customers on a global native app platform. You'll be part of a team responsible for the base app, global features, and the capabilities that allow other teams across multiple countries to build and integrate local experiences — all at scale, all to the highest engineering standard.

This is a role for someone who builds it, owns it, and takes pride in doing it right.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and maintain Android features on a global mobile banking platform used across multiple countries.
  • Take full ownership of features throughout their lifecycle — from design and implementation through to production support and continuous improvement.
  • Coach and support fellow engineers through knowledge sharing, code reviews, feedback, and technical guidance.
  • Contribute to technical design decisions and help drive engineering excellence across the Android domain.
  • Collaborate with engineers, architects, and stakeholders across multiple countries to deliver scalable global solutions.
  • Give presentations and workshops, and communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Actively challenge existing concepts and approaches to improve delivery speed and customer experience.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of professional experience designing, building, and maintaining Android applications.
  • Extensive hands-on Kotlin experience in production environments.
  • You write testable code and back it up with proper tests — Espresso, unit tests, and screenshot tests.
  • Security and accessibility are built into how you work, not bolted on at the end.
  • A true DevOps mindset: you design it, build it, test it, deploy it, monitor it, and own it.
  • Strong collaborator who actively shares knowledge and is genuinely interested in others' work.
  • Comfortable in Agile environments, working closely with business and technology stakeholders.
  • Proactive communicator — with many teams across many countries, you reach out rather than wait.
  • Fluent English, spoken and written.

Nice to have

  • Experience working on large-scale, multi-country or multi-brand mobile platforms.
  • Background contributing to shared platform capabilities used by downstream engineering teams.
  • Experience running workshops or internal tech talks.
