Android Platform Engineer

Overview

Android Platform Engineer

Join a highly trusted and growing organisationwithin the National Security sector, delivering mission-critical solutions that help keep the nation safe, secure, and prosperous.

You’ll work on cutting-edge technologies including AI & Data Science, Cyber, Cloud, Dev Ops, and SRE, as part of a team that has secured long-term programmes of work on the latest client frameworks. This role offers an excellent opportunity to grow alongside a business investing heavily in this domain.

As an Android Platform Engineer, you’ll develop highly bespoke software for the Android ecosystem. This is not traditional app development — you’ll work across the entire Android technology stack, contributing to unique projects that deliver real-world, mission-critical outcomes.

Rather than building consumer apps for downloads and revenue, you’ll focus on solving complex engineering problems to deliver robust, functional software for national security partners.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy deep technical challenges. When documentation, Stack Overflow, or AI tools only take you part of the way, your technical curiosity and problem-solving ability will enable you to create bespoke solutions that make a tangible impact.

• Android application development experience using Java and Android Studio
• Exposure to Android or Linux internals
