About the Role We are looking for an experienced Android Developer with 5-8 years of professional experience, including strong hands-on experience with Flutter. The ideal candidate should have a strong foundation in native Android development using both Kotlin and Java, alongside practical experience working with Flutter applications-including integrating Flutter modules with native Android code. The role involves building scalable, high-performance mobile applications and taking features end-to-end from development through production release.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain native Android applications using Kotlin and Java.
• Develop and maintain features using Flutter and Dart.
• Integrate Flutter modules with existing native Android codebases.
• Build reusable and responsive UI components using XML Layouts, Jetpack Compose, and Flutter.
• Integrate REST APIs, third-party SDKs, analytics, push notifications, and platform services.
• Work closely with product, design, backend, QA, and other engineering teams.
• Debug and resolve complex native Android and Flutter issues.
• Optimize application performance, memory usage, startup time, UI rendering (maintaining 60/120 FPS), scrolling, and network operations.
• Write clean, scalable, maintainable, and testable code.
• Participate in architecture and technical design discussions.
• Write unit and UI tests (JUnit, Espresso, Flutter tests) and maintain code quality.
• Participate in code reviews and follow engineering best practices.
• Manage dependencies using Gradle (Groovy/Kotlin DSL) and Flutter packages.
• Work with CI/CD pipelines and automated build and release processes.
• Manage Google Play Console releases, internal testing tracks, app signing, and release management.
• Take ownership of features from requirement analysis through production release.
• Mentor junior developers and contribute to improving engineering practices.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5-8 years of professional Android development experience.
• Mandatory hands-on experience with Flutter and Dart.
• Strong proficiency in Kotlin and Java with native Android SDK.
• Strong hands-on experience with XML layouts/Android Views and good working knowledge of Jetpack Compose.
• Experience building and maintaining production applications using Flutter.
• Experience integrating Flutter modules with native Android applications.
• Good understanding of Flutter architecture, widgets, state management, navigation, and platform channels.
• Experience with Riverpod, Provider, Bloc, or similar state-management frameworks is preferred.
• Strong understanding of Android architecture patterns such as MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture, or similar.
• Good understanding of Kotlin Coroutines, Flows, RxJava, and asynchronous programming.
• Strong understanding of memory management, garbage collection, lifecycle components, and background processing (WorkManager, Services).
• Experience integrating REST APIs and third-party SDKs.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills using Android Studio, Profiler, Systrace/Perfetto, Layout Inspector, Flutter DevTools, and ADB.
• Experience writing unit and UI tests (JUnit, Mockito, Espresso, Flutter tests).
• Good understanding of Git and code review practices.
• Experience with Google Play Console, app bundle generation, signing configs, keystores, and production releases.
• Experience with Gradle, Gradle build variants, dependencies, and Flutter package management.
• Experience with CI/CD tools such as Fastlane, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Bitrise.

Good to Have

• Experience working on high-traffic consumer applications.
• Experience with Firebase, analytics, crash reporting (Crashlytics), push notifications (FCM), and remote configuration.
• Experience with Flutter MethodChannels/EventChannels and native plugin development.
• Experience optimizing Flutter and Android applications for UI frame rates (FPS profiling) and app size reduction.
• Experience maintaining legacy Java Android codebases and modernizing them to Kotlin.
• Experience mentoring junior and mid-level developers.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments.

What We Look For

• Strong ownership and ability to independently drive features from development to production.
• Strong understanding of both native Android (Kotlin/Java) and Flutter development.
• Ability to investigate and resolve complex issues across the Flutter and native Android layers.
• Strong focus on code quality, performance (FPS/rendering), scalability, and reliability.
• Good communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to mentor team members and contribute to technical decisions.
• Willingness to learn and adapt to new Android and Flutter technologies.

Education Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
