An Android developer at Deloitte Digital plays a key role in designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality Android applications. This involves writing clean and efficient code while collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure adherence to coding standards. Key responsibilities include:

• Contributing to the overall architectural design of mobile applications.
• Integrating mobile applications seamlessly with backend services and databases.
• Working closely with designers to create a visually appealing and user-friendly interface.
• Conducting thorough testing, debugging, and optimizing performance for various devices.
• Creating and maintaining technical documentation for code, processes, and configurations.
• Effectively communicating within the team and with clients to understand project requirements.
• Staying updated on the latest Android development trends, tools, and technologies.
• Implementing security measures to protect user data and privacy.

This multifaceted role requires a balance of technical expertise, collaborative skills, and a commitment to staying current with industry best practices.

Connect to your skills and professional experience

Overall, you're an ideas person and problem solver as well as a hands-on doer. You know it takes a mix of people to do amazing work, so you love collaborating with and learning from people with different skills, backgrounds and perspectives. If you have an interesting or unusual mix of skills yourself, even better.

As a Senior Android Developer, certain essential professional experiences and skills are typically required:

• Extensive experience in Kotlin is crucial, as it's the primary language for modern Android development. Knowledge of Java is also beneficial for maintaining and updating legacy code.
• Deep familiarity with the Android SDK and its components, including different versions and how to deal with different screen sizes.
• Experience with Android Frameworks: Knowledge of core Android frameworks like Android Jetpack, including components like Room, LiveData, ViewModel, WorkManager, Navigation and Compose.
• Understanding of Material Design principles and ability to create user-friendly, accessible, and responsive interfaces.
• Proficiency in integrating third-party APIs and understanding networking concepts, including RESTful services and handling JSON/XML.
• Understanding the full lifecycle of Android apps, from initial design and development to deployment on the Google Play Store and ongoing maintenance.
• Experience with version control systems, particularly Git, for managing code changes in a collaborative environment.
• Proficiency in writing and maintaining unit and instrumentation tests, and debugging complex issues using tools like Android Studio Debugger.
• Skills in optimizing app performance and memory usage, understanding threading, and avoiding common pitfalls in Android development.
• Knowledge of Android security features and best practices to protect sensitive user data.
• Staying updated with the latest trends and advancements in Android development, new programming languages, and emerging technologies.
• Strong communication skills for effectively collaborating with cross-functional teams, including designers, product managers, and other stakeholders.
• As a senior role, the ability to lead projects, mentor junior developers, and contribute to architectural decisions.
• Familiarity with architectural patterns like MVP, MVVM, and Clean Architecture.
• Experience with advanced features like animations, custom views, and sensors can be beneficial.

Having a portfolio of developed apps available on the Google Play Store, along with a track record of solving real-world problems through application development, can further strengthen a Senior Android Developer's profile.

Customer

Human connections are integral to business. We combine people, ideas and technology to support our clients to build strong connections. For example, through commerce, customer design and sales services.

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
