[Hiring] Senior Android Developer @Finom

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Android Engineer or Tech Lead who thinks like a product builder — someone who cares deeply about the "why" behind what they're building, not just the tickets in the backlog.

You'll be embedded in a cross-functional domain team (Backend, Mobile, ML/AI, QA, Design, and Product) and own the end-to-end development of features that genuinely matter:

• Company accounts and cash flows
• Banking transactions
• Card issuance and management
• AI-enabled accounting

If you're energized by working at the intersection of great mobile engineering and real product impact — this is the role.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build new features for our Android application, used daily by business owners across Europe.
• Architect and implement reliable, intuitive solutions for:
  • Multi-account cash flow management
  • Banking transactions and payments
  • Physical and virtual card issuance, activation, and control
  • AI-powered accounting automation
• Build polished, responsive UIs using Jetpack Compose.
• Take ownership of code quality, performance, and stability — automated testing and thorough code reviews are non-negotiable.
• Collaborate closely with Backend, QA, Design, and Product — you'll be shaping solutions end-to-end, not just implementing specs.
• Drive technical decisions within your domain, challenge assumptions when needed, and proactively identify opportunities to build better.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, tooling, and mobile best practices across the team.

Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of Kotlin (Java knowledge is a plus) and 5+ years of commercial Android development.
• Deep understanding of OOP, SOLID, and Clean Architecture.
• Solid experience with presentation layer patterns — MVI, MVVM, and MVP — and the ability to choose the right one for the context.
• Hands-on experience with our core stack:
  • Reactive programming & async: RxJava, Kotlin Coroutines / Flow
  • Dependency injection: Dagger 2, Hilt, or Koin
  • Networking: Retrofit
  • Navigation: Cicerone, Jetpack Navigation Component
  • Modern UI: Jetpack Compose
• Practical experience with Firebase (FCM, Analytics, Crashlytics).
• Experience with Feature-module architecture in production.
• Confidence with Git / GitLab, including setting up and maintaining GitLab CI/CD.
• A builder's mentality — you care about the product, the users, and the outcomes, not just the code.
• Clear, concise communication in English across technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to Have

• Background in fintech or experience with financial products — you understand the stakes.
• Solid grasp of mobile security best practices (especially critical in our domain).
• Experience profiling and optimizing UI performance — reducing overdraw, improving recomposition efficiency in Jetpack Compose, and hitting smooth 60/120fps rendering.
• Hands-on work with performance tooling: Android Profiler, Perfetto, Baseline Profiles, or similar.
• Published apps on Google Play you're proud of.
• An active GitHub profile with code you're happy to share.
• Hands-on experience with AI agents and LLM tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) — setting up agent environments, writing prompts, skills, and behavioral rules.
• Experience with AI-powered IDE tools (Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, etc.) — including agent mode, rules files configuration, and integrating AI into the daily development workflow.
• Understanding of model capabilities and limitations — knowing which model fits which task and how to manage the context window effectively.
• Ability to evaluate and verify AI-generated output — using automated tests, linters, and critical review to catch hallucinations and errors.
• Awareness of AI security risks — prompt injection, data leakage, and safe handling of untrusted inputs in agentic workflows.
