We are looking for a Senior Android Engineer to help grow and evolve Royal London's mobile capability. This is an opportunity to make a visible impact, shape how we build high-quality native Android experiences and deliver new features and enhancements for our customers.

You will play a key role within our Android development team, combining hands-on engineering expertise with collaboration, technical guidance and support for other engineers. Working with mobile, API and platform colleagues, you will contribute to the evolution of our applications and the engineering practices that underpin them.

About the role

• Write maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to reviews, testing and continuous improvement.
• Champion effective Android engineering practices as our mobile capability grows.

About you

You will bring strong commercial experience in native Android development and the confidence to take ownership of complex technical work while supporting others. We are particularly interested in the depth of your mobile engineering expertise, your approach to quality and the applications you have helped deliver.

• Strong commercial experience developing native Android applications.
• Expertise in Kotlin with experience with Jetpack Compose is essential.
• A strong software engineering background using native mobile technologies and modern Android development approaches.
• Experience integrating mobile applications with APIs and backend services.
• Experience writing maintainable, testable code and contributing to code reviews and automated testing.
• The ability to take ownership of technical delivery and support the development of other engineers.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach to solving technical challenges.

Experience Azure within financial services or regulated environments would be useful, but it is not essential. We value strong native Android capability and your willingness to learn supporting technologies.
