Full description

Android Developer (Contract)

Six months, outside IR35, immediate start. Four days remote, one day per week in Manchester.

This is a chance to work on a mobile app used at national scale, inside a public sector organisation that takes engineering seriously.

You'll be joining a modern setup with automated testing, ephemeral branch deployments and performance testing in AWS CodeBuild.

If you like clean architecture and proper test coverage, this is the kind of environment where that work is valued rather than skipped.

Mostly remote, one day a week in Manchester, and a clear six-month runway to get your teeth into. We have two of these roles to fill.

What you'll be doing:

You'll help integrate internal government services into a high-traffic mobile app, building features end to end and holding a high bar on testing and quality as you go.

What you'll need:

Essential

  • Strong Kotlin
  • Jetpack Compose
  • MVVM and Clean Architecture
  • Automated testing across unit, integration/feature and UI
  • GitHub Actions CI/CD

Desirable

  • Java
  • K6 performance testing
  • AWS and CodeBuild

You'll also need prior government or public sector experience and must be eligible for SC clearance.
