About YLD:

Everything we do is to empower our clients to move forward. Our purpose is to help our clients develop the capabilities they need to outperform their competitors. Our success is a consequence of ensuring our clients are successful. Our company is built on extraordinary people; we aim to attract, inspire, develop and retain them. YLD is a software engineering and design consultancy; we create digital capabilities for our clients that last beyond our engagement. We have offices in London, Lisbon, Porto.

About the role:

You’ll have the opportunity to build and deliver software within a very big and interesting project, both in terms of the product and the methodology. We work in an Agile environment (Scrum) with a test-first mindset (actually, writing code without tests should be unthinkable) and we are also big advocates of pair programming and nothing is released until we have a code review.

As an Android Engineer you will be expected to exemplify the highest standards in software engineering along with a passion for the product.

Technical and non-technical competencies:

  • 3+ years experience building amazing Android apps;
  • You are very comfortable programming in Kotlin;
  • Experience with Agile methodologies;
  • Extensive knowledge of Android SDK;
  • Experience working with Java;
  • Knowledge of SOLID Principles;
  • Previous experience with GraphQL;
  • Experienced with Jetpack Compose;
  • TDD mindset (Unit, Integration, Regression);
  • Ability to write testable code and good debugging skills;
  • Familiarity with continuous integration;
  • Passionate for creating a great user experience;
  • Experience working with remote teams;
  • Good communication skills (both verbal and written).

What you’ll get in return:

  • The chance to work with a forward-thinking, ethical, and fun group of people and to develop and grow your skills in a fast-moving business.

Our typical Recruitment Process looks like this:

  • 1st Interview with someone from the Talent team (30/45 mins)
  • 2nd Technical Interview with our Senior Engineers (~1h30)
  • Meet and discuss with a Client Partner (15/30mins)

We live and breathe our values, and know you will too:

  • Growing every day
  • Including everyone
  • Relationships built on honesty and ethics
  • Inspiring solutions
  • Winning together

We’re an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity of all kinds. We don’t discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy or maternity, age, marital status, or disability status. We also believe in work-life balance and offer flexible working around our core hours.
