About this opportunity

We're on a journey to build the bank of the future, and we need your help! We're looking for experienced Senior Android Engineers (mobile engineer) to join our team. If you’re a self- motivated Senior Android Engineer and highly proficient in Android mobile development then this is the role for you!

We're redefining our digital capability, providing customers with simpler, continuous interactions across online, mobile and branches.

Our digital platforms (public website, mobile & tablet app, and internet banking website) are where the majority of customer and colleague interactions with the bank take place. They are becoming increasingly sophisticated with the introduction of public API's, growing numbers of devices to access them from and evolving operating systems.

We’re passionate about our shared passion for delivering new features for customers across our brands in the mobile space. The Retail Lab mobile teams are part of the Retail Transformation directorate and are fully agile teams that strive for excellence.

Joining our team, you’ll have opportunities to participate in internal Hackathons, coding challenges and bi-weekly platform meetings and be a member of a great engineering community passionate about sharing knowledge and learning.

Like the modern Britain we serve, we’re evolving. Investing billions in our people, data, and tech to transform the way we meet the ever-changing needs of our 26 million customers. We’re growing with purpose. Join us on our journey and you will too.

What you’ll need

We believe that people don't fit neatly into roles, and we value everyone's individual skills, experience, and knowledge — it's what makes you amazing!

As a minimum to be considered, we would like to see demonstrated core experience in:

• Professional hands-on experience and working knowledge in designing a mobile experience for variable screen sizes in variable versions of Android

• Strong knowledge of Android SDK, Android UI design principles, patterns, and best practices

• Fantastic knowledge of the open-source Android ecosystem and the libraries available for common tasks and benchmarking and optimisation

• Proficient in Google's Android design principles, interface guidelines and code versioning tools, such as Git.

• We’re looking for hands-on experience of continuous delivery across areas such as:

• Modularisation

• Jetpack Compose

• Coroutines

• SOLID principles with Clean Code Architecture

• MVVM and MVI Architecture

• Unit Test

Just so you know, we will be asking you to complete a technical task during the interview process. We hope you find it fun, interesting and challenging.

About working for us

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity, or culture. We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative. And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups. We’re disability confident. So, if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%

• An annual performance-related bonus

• Share schemes including free shares.

• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping.
