Android Developer

Most insurance companies build products around policies. We're building ours around people.

You’ll help build an Android experience that feels effortless, valuable and useful for young drivers, connecting customers with insights, rewards and services that make insurance helpful every day, not just when something goes wrong.

As Android Engineer, you’ll develop and deliver features from implementation through to release, working alongside experienced engineers to create high-quality mobile products while growing your technical skills.

Our Android app is a core part of Veygo’s next stage of growth. It needs to be fast, reliable and simple to use, supported by robust architecture and engineering practices that can scale.

You’ll contribute ideas and technical insight throughout development, using customer feedback and data to understand how your work improves the experience. You’ll have ownership of your features, with support from senior engineers when tackling unfamiliar or more complex challenges.

You’ll also have opportunities to use AI-assisted and agentic engineering tools, learning how they can support development while maintaining quality and good engineering judgement.

• Develop and maintain Android features using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and established architecture patterns.
• Work on API integration, data handling, networking and caching, with support on more complex offline and sync requirements.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, Backend Engineering and QA to understand customer needs and deliver well-tested features.
• Write clean, maintainable code and automated tests, taking part in code reviews and acting on feedback.
• Investigate bugs, crashes and performance issues, helping improve app reliability and customer experience.
• Contribute to releases and improvements to tooling, documentation and development practices.

  Claude Code and other emerging agentic tooling.

At Veygo, we’re here to unlock independence.

For young drivers, getting on the road is a massive life moment—freedom, confidence, responsibility, and finally not needing a lift everywhere. For parents, it’s a big moment too: letting go, while knowing their child is protected and supported.

We make insurance the easy bit.

Since launching in 2016, we’ve helped more than one million customers and sold over eight million policies by making car insurance simpler, more…
