zopa - Android Engineer

• Our team plays a key role in driving innovation across Zopa’s mobile community and shaping the future of our mobile technology. As Zopa continues its ambition to become Britain’s best bank, the mobile app remains our most important customer touchpoint. Following the launch of the Zopa Account — a high-touch, mass-market product — we’re making a significant investment in creating an app experience that is performant, reliable, and delightful to use. • While the app today is built with React Native, we are expanding our native capabilities in Swift and Kotlin and are transforming the Android experience with a move toward a more fully native approach. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of that journey! • ## A day in the life: • Report to the Engineering Manager for the Mobile Platform team. • Collaborate closely with other native mobile engineers to design, build, and evolve the Android platform. • Play a key role in migrating the app from React Native to native Android, building in Kotlin with strong architectural foundations and industry best practices. • Partner with the wider mobile engineering community, including React Native developers, to define best practices for native development and support engineers cross-training into native Android. • Improve the performance, robustness, and overall quality of the app by identifying bottlenecks, addressing technical debt, and resolving defects to optimise the user experience. • Work cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to design and deliver features that fully leverage native Android capabilities.
