Senior Android Developer -Supply Core Squad (Remote in EU)

You can join us either in one of our offices in Hamburg, Berlin or Barcelona or work remotely within the countries we are operating. This includes: Spain, Germany, Portugal, Italy, France, Poland, UK, Ireland, Austria and Greece.

The team mission is to "support Supply product squads with tooling, infrastructure and cross-cutting features for higher productivity and quality". To do so, some challenges you will face will be to remove all manual activities of the product development lifecycle by leveraging automation and standardisation to enable the creation of unique products that will provide a delightful, sustainable, and customised urban mobility experience. We have tens of thousands of drivers from 11 countries using our platform 24/7.

Work in an agile environment

• As part of a highly-skilled cross-functional team that comprises 2 Android Engineers, 2 iOS Engineers, 2 Backend Engineers and headed up by a technical Engineering Manager, you will help shape the future of how FREE NOW assists our drivers in their daily work.
• You will participate in the design, development, and maintenance of high-quality software. It’s required to have an open mindset, analytical mind and solid knowledge of object-oriented concepts for you to understand business analysis and software architectures documents.

Design, build and deliver software which is business-critical and speed-sensitive for multiple markets in different languages

• The Android Developer is an essential contributor to the software development life cycle and is expected to use expert knowledge to bring fresh new ideas on how to solve business-critical problems.
• Due to the current state of the application, you are required to have proficiency with development in Java and Kotlin using best in class Source Control Management systems and Continuous Integration pipelines.
• You need to have the capability to develop and structure the code using dependency injection and reactive architectural pattern using Coroutines, and MVP + Clean Architecture for the UI perspective.
• You will be expected to maintain and improve the quality and architectural integrity of the software by designing features and frameworks with modularity in mind.
• The application is delivered using Play store as the main distribution source, and it is part of the responsibility of the developer to take care of the build and distribution.

Writing highly scalable, testable and readable code

• Ensure the quality of our apps with a big emphasis on test automation integrated into our CD/CI toolset, which means:
• Developing unit tests for all of our features and contributing to our almost 5,000 current tests
• Writing integration tests to ensure the code of our App interacts with other modules properly
• Developing user interaction tests, mainly done using espresso as a library
• You code, you ship, you own - which will include bug fixing and taking care of crash analysis through firebase and the distribution platform

Identify and execute refactoring improvements alongside feature increment

• Code improvement is part of our development culture, you will have the responsibility of refactoring and continuously improving our codebase (e.g. test coverage from areas of the app that previously were not done, using Kotlin instead of Java in the few parts we are still using it, and a proper clean architecture structure and agreed guidelines)
• Part of the responsibility is improving, maintaining and supporting existing applications and shared libraries

Improvement and innovation 

• We expect you to drive improvements and innovations in everything we do (people, process and technology)
• We expect you to be business outcome-focused 
• We expect you to work using functional programming and doing pair programming
• Experience with asynchronous paradigm as Kotlin coroutines 
• Champion a test-driven development mindset
• As one of our engineers, we would also look to you to challenge the Status Quo and look at new solutions that will make our products better by having a state-of-the-art code base and overall contribute to making our team a pleasure to work with.

What else?

• Our company language is English, so we expect fluent proficiency in English
