About the Role
We are looking for an Android Developer with 2–3 years of experience to join our team working on the Connected Crew - Retail / PoS / Crew App, used by cabin crew on live flights.
This role is ideal for a developer with strong fundamentals who wants to grow in a large, production-grade codebase, contribute to modernisation (Java → Kotlin), and build offline-first workflows in a challenging real-world environment.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain features in the Connected Crew Retail / PoS Android app
- Work in a mixed Java/Kotlin codebase and contribute to migration toward Kotlin, Coroutines/Flow, and Jetpack Compose
- Contribute across layers: UI, ViewModels, Business logic, local data (SQLite via in-house abstraction layer)
- Integrate REST APIs and support offline-first behaviour for low-connectivity environments
- Write and maintain tests (JUnit, MockK, Espresso) and follow CI quality standards (detekt, ktlint)
- Debug production issues and improve stability in a real-world deployed system
- Participate in code reviews and collaborate with senior developers on architectural decisions
What We Look For
- 2 - 3 years of development experience
- Working knowledge of Java and Kotlin
- Strong understanding of Android fundamentals: Lifecycle, Components, Threading basics
- Understanding of MVVM and separation of concerns
- Experience with REST APIs
- Familiarity with async programming (RxJava or Coroutines)
- Good grasp of OOP, clean code principles, and debugging
- Use AI-assisted development tools
How You Work
- Ownership mindset - You take responsibility for your code and follow through
- Strong debugging skills - You can break down and solve real-world issues
- Critical AI user - Use AI tools (Claude, Codex, Cursor, etc.) as a genuine accelerator for code generation, debugging, refactoring, and understanding unfamiliar code, while exercising critical judgment on AI output
- Self-starter - You learn quickly and adapt in a fast-moving environment
- Clear communicator - Comfortable with async collaboration in a remote setup
You Get Bonus Points For
- Experience with Coroutines, Flow, or Jetpack Compose
- Writing meaningful unit/UI tests
- Experience working on production or enterprise apps
- Exposure to offline-first or sync-heavy applications
- Side projects or GitHub showcasing real work
What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)
- Independently ship production-ready features in the Connected Crew app
- Contribute to Java → Kotlin modernisation efforts
- Improve test coverage and code quality in areas you work on
- Demonstrate ownership in debugging and delivering fixes
- Become comfortable navigating a large, evolving codebase
Why This Role is Interesting
Unlike typical mobile roles, you'll be building systems that:
- Run in offline and low-connectivity environments
- Are used in real-world operational scenarios (live flights)
- Balance performance, reliability, and usability under constraints
Remote Work Expectations
- Fully remote role
- Expected to maintain regular overlap with India/Europe-based teams
- Requires a reliable high-speed internet connection and a focused workspace
