Gener8

We're looking for a Senior Android Engineer to work on our flagship Kotlin app that is transforming how people control and share their data. About us Since its launch in 2018, Gener8 has been at the forefront of the "open data" movement: the belief that people should be able to control and be rewarded from their own data. Gener8's consumer products include a web browser, browser extension, IOS and Android apps. Our products enable people to transparently and willingly share their data with Gener8, whilst preserving their privacy, so that we can create value from it for them. We are growing fast. With tens of thousands new app downloads every month. Every month our desktop browser racks up the equivalent of 250 yrs in time spent browsing on it. As you can imagine, we have huge amounts of proprietary data which we can create value from. Gener8 was named 'Disruptor of the year' in 2022 by the Great British Entrepreneur Awards. Our investors include 3 Dragons from BBC's Dragon's Den as well as personalities such as the rap star Tinie Tempah, former football manager Harry Redknapp and cricketer Chris Gayle to name a few. In 2023 we met with the Prime Minister at Downing street and were invited to become a member of the Government's new "Smart Data Council", shaping the future of data legislation in the UK. We also regularly engage with European legislators on the Digital Markets Act which empowers users to control and earn from their data. This role is a unique opportunity to join a fast growing business that is forging a new category - Personal Information Management Systems (PIMS) - with multi billion £ potential. About the role You'll join the team responsible for major new features in our flagship Android app which helps users better understand their relationship with data and how they can be rewarded from it. This is an exciting opportunity for an individual to make a big impact in a rapidly growing business for a completely new category of product. Working as part of our existing engineering team, you'll be actively influencing technical discussions, API designs, and app architecture as we iterate rapidly to deliver great new features to our customers. You'll be using 100% Kotlin in your day-to-day work. Our Android app is completely written in Kotlin. All new features are built using Compose, with any existing XML layouts gradually being replaced with Compose as well. It uses coroutines for threading and is heavily modularised, each feature having its own dedicated module. There's a combination of unit, UI and Integration tests on the project, especially on newer features. We're also starting to use Kotlin Multiplatform to share code with our iOS app . This is the right opportunity for you if you have: 5+ years commercial experience with Android development Strong grasp of the Kotlin language Experience using Kotlin Coroutines and Flows Experience with automated testing and continuous delivery Ability to describe solutions and their architectural tradeoffs Excellent verbal and written English communication skills Part of a fast growing company where you will have real responsibility and autonomy Your choice of computer hardware Annual training and conference budget ️ Regular team days out This is your chance to work on a meaningful product that can impact millions of people
