What are we looking for?

Here at TopCashback we are looking for an passionate, experienced and dynamic Android developer to join our Mobile App team.

What will my responsibilities be?
As one of our talented Senior Android App developers you will be responsible for designing and developing fantastic solutions to further improve our app to give our members a great user experience. Our team consists of Android, iOS and backend developers who you will be closely working with to enable a consistent approach across platforms.

Our Android app is a combination of Kotlin and Java with a view to migrate completely away from Java through future projects.  Our backend systems are .NET Core APIs that are specifically designed with the app in mind.  As we have our back end developers on the same team, it provides a great environment for collaboration on projects to get the right solution.

The role will involve you to actively work with others to put forward suggestions and implement improvements on our existing app.  We are dedicated to reducing our technical debt which we integrate into our sprints, plus, we encourage a culture of leaving our code in a better place than when you found it.

Experience and behaviours

• Experience as an Android developer with Kotlin and Java as the languages that you’ve worked with
• Experience of working with RESTful API
• Experience of writing meaningful tests
• Experience in an Agile/Kanban approach to development
• Desire to learn, educate and drive improvements
• Motivated to work to best practices and bring knowledge to TopCashback

Desirable, but not essential

• C# .NET Core development experience
• GIT Source Control

• Flexible remote working options available for when we return to the office later in the year. In the meantime, we continue to work fully remote.
• 23 days Holiday including your Birthday off & 2 Duvet days (Plus loyalty holidays & ability to purchase extra holiday)
• We would normally state the following – “Great working environment with relaxed dress code, Table Tennis Tables, Pool Table, X-box room” But only when we are back in the office. In the meantime we can only offer you a great job in a great and growing company and the table tennis will have to wait a while…
• Life Insurance, Income protection, health cash plan and enhanced maternity/paternity
• Good transport links, free parking plus support for public transport users
• Cycle to Work schemes offered
