Job Description



Android Engineer

45,000 - 85,000 per annum (dependent on experience)
Hampshire / Hybrid (40% on-site, 60% remote)
National Security SC clearance required (DV willingness essential)

Are you an engineer who enjoys working at the deepest levels of Android - where the problems are hard, the code really matters, and the impact is real?

Join a highly trusted National Security partner delivering mission-critical Android platform solutions that play a vital role in keeping the UK safe, secure, and prosperous.

This isn't consumer app development. There are no app stores, no ads, no monetisation pressure - just robust, low-level engineering that supports real operational outcomes. You'll be solving problems where off-the-shelf answers don't exist, working on bespoke platforms built for long-term national programmes.



What you'll be working on

  • Deep Android and Linux platform engineering

  • Cutting-edge work across Android, Linux, AI/Data Science, Cyber, Cloud, DevOps/SRE, and Platform Engineering

  • Modern frameworks and long-term, high-impact programmes

  • Collaborative development across the full Android stack



What we're looking for

  • Experience or exposure to Android or Linux internals

  • Strong development skills in C, C++, Java and/or Kotlin

  • A curious, analytical mindset and enjoyment of complex technical challenges

  • Eligibility for SC clearance and willingness to undergo DV clearance



Why apply?

You'll work with highly skilled engineers, on meaningful technology, in an environment that values depth, quality, and technical excellence - not quick wins.
