About Kin + Carta Create (Europe):

At Kin + Carta Create we believe growth is built, not theorised. We’re makers, builders and creators by nature, and we come to work every day to build experiences your customers will love and technologies your business will thrive on.

Our approach is simple: Accelerate idea-to-value by striking the ideal balance of human-centred design, Agile engineering and the realities of affecting change at scale.

As a Senior Engineer, you'll be at the heart of any project you work on. You’ll have a specialism in Android but use a much broader technical experience to help steer your project team.

You’ll share your passion and experience with those around you, allowing and encouraging your less experienced teammates to step up.At a senior level, your remit reaches beyond your project. Teammates in our internal Android community will naturally look to you for on-the-job coaching and broader career advice. Your success will be largely based on the success of those you influence.At K+C Create, you will become a great leader in your field. You’ll be encouraged to work with others to shape TAB’s mobile proposition for new clients and grow our in-house team of mobile experts.

What you can expect:

• You’ll join our growing team of 17+ Android engineers who all share your passion for building great apps.
• You’ll benefit from knowledge sharing sessions across the business, such as the Android team’s weekly meeting.
• You’ll build market-leading products, typically leading a team of 2-3 other Android engineers.
• You’ll help shape your product’s roadmap by taking part in all aspects of project planning and delivery.
• You’ll contribute to our continued growth by helping identify and interview great new teammates.

• You are a passionate, self-motivated engineer who builds Android apps with Kotlin.
• You will bring valuable experience on topics such as UI, concurrency, persistence and architectural approaches (MVP, MVVM etc.)
• You are excited about the opportunity to work on a variety of projects.
• You seek opportunities to share your knowledge and experience with others.
• You are committed to writing high quality, testable code.
• You enjoy collaborating as an Agile team.
