Requirements As an Android engineer, you'll report to and catch-up regularly with a mobile lead engineer who will support you on your journey in Engine. We have a strong collaborative and open culture here so you'll find support outside your team too. As a fully digital bank, we are looking for engineers that are able to understand and prioritise security when implementing new features, fixing bugs or making technical improvements, across all the layers. Our team is designing, building and releasing new screens every day, for this reason we are interested in people with a particular focus on Accessibility along with writing clean and maintainable code. The way to thrive and shine within Engine is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: From building the code, shipping and maintaining it, to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our aim is to deliver stable, resilient and high quality code, that is why testing is another key quality we look for when expanding our team. We use Espresso to write our UI/E2E Test and JUnit to write our Unit Tests across all layers of the application, as well as manually test all features before they go into production. We also work closely with QA engineers to ensure we have an additional level of testing when working on complex feature delivery. The Android world At Engine, we are proud to be working with some of the latest technologies in the industry. When adopting new technologies we always consider as a team whether it's the best choice for our product and our users. We are currently in the process of building a number of SDKs for our clients utilising the modules we've already created in the Starling UK App. We'll be using these to support the development of an app in Romania with Salt Bank and build an entirely new banking app for one of our partners in Australia called AMP Bank, a really exciting opportunity! In the Engine SDKs we generally aim to use the latest technology as our clients would expect, but, we also rely heavily on the existing Starling codebase which uses some older libraries too, so you'll need a good understanding of a wide range of libraries and technologies. We use Dagger, Realm, Retrofit, Coil, Compose, Coroutines and Compose, but there's still a lot of work to do migrating from XML layouts and RxJava2. Building SDKs that we plan to launch internationally can present some new challenges, so if you've ever had experience maintaining a library, contributing to OSS, or have dealt with Internationalisation we'd love to hear about it. If that's all new to you, don't worry, we're learning too! We want our app to look great for the Android platform and have worked closely with our designers to set up a component library and have themed our app accordingly. Feature parity is important to us so Android and iOS apps are often built alongside each other. As a team we meet together every week to talk through pain points and potential improvements we'll like to make to the project. We regularly meet in real life to attend conferences and meet-ups together too! Interview process Interviewing is a two way process and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you!

Our team is designing, building and releasing new screens every day, for this reason we are interested in people with a particular focus on Accessibility along with writing clean and maintainable code. The way to thrive and shine within Engine is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: From building the code, shipping and maintaining it, to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our aim is to deliver stable, resilient and high quality code, that is why testing is another key quality we look for when expanding our team. We use Espresso to write our UI/E2E Test and JUnit to write our Unit Tests across all layers of the application, as well as manually test all features before they go into production. We also work closely with QA engineers to ensure we have an additional level of testing when working on complex feature delivery. The Android world At Engine, we are proud to be working with some of the latest technologies in the industry. When adopting new technologies we always consider as a team whether it's the best choice for our product and our users. We are currently in the process of building a number of SDKs for our clients utilising the modules we've already created in the Starling UK App. We'll be using these to support the development of an app in Romania with Salt Bank and build an entirely new banking app for one of our partners in Australia called AMP Bank, a really exciting opportunity! In the Engine SDKs we generally aim to use the latest technology as our clients would expect, but, we also rely heavily on the existing Starling codebase which uses some older libraries too, so you'll need a good understanding of a wide range of libraries and technologies. We use Dagger, Realm, Retrofit, Coil, Compose, Coroutines and Compose, but there's still a lot of work to do migrating from XML layouts and RxJava2. Building SDKs that we plan to launch internationally can present some new challenges, so if you've ever had experience maintaining a library, contributing to OSS, or have dealt with Internationalisation we'd love to hear about it. If that's all new to you, don't worry, we're learning too! We want our app to look great for the Android platform and have worked closely with our designers to set up a component library and have themed our app accordingly. Feature parity is important to us so Android and iOS apps are often built alongside each other. As a team we meet together every week to talk through pain points and potential improvements we'll like to make to the project. We regularly meet in real life to attend conferences and meet-ups together too! Interview process Interviewing is a two way process and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you! Our interviews are conversational and we want to get the best from you, so come with questions and be curious. In general you can expect the below, following a chat with one of our Talent Team: First interview: 45 minutes Take home technical test (no time limit) Technical face to face: 1.5 hours Final Interview: 45 minutes Benefits 33 days holiday (including public holidays, which you can take when it works best for you) An extra day's holiday for your birthday Annual leave is increased with length of service, and you can choose to buy or sell up to five extra days off 16 hours paid volunteering time a year Salary sacrifice, company enhanced pension scheme Life insurance at 4x your salary & group income protection Private Medical Insurance with VitalityHealth including mental health support and cancer care. Partner benefits include discounts with Waitrose, Mr&Mrs Smith and Peloton Generous family-friendly policies Incentives refer a friend scheme Perkbox membership giving access to retail discounts, a wellness platform for physical and mental health, and weekly free and boosted perks Access to initiatives like Cycle to Work, Salary Sacrificed Gym partnerships and Electric Vehicle (EV) leasing About us: You may be put off applying for a role because you don't tick every box. Forget that! While we can't accommodate every flexible working request, we're always open to discussion. So, if you're excited about working with us, but aren't sure if you're 100% there yet, get in touch anyway. We're on a mission to radically reshape banking - and that starts with our brilliant team. Whatever came before, we're proud to bring together people of all backgrounds and experiences who love working together to solve problems.
