The Role: Neo Financial is looking for a Senior Android Developer to join our team in Calgary.

As a Senior Developer, you will be a technical leader in the mobile space, driving best practices, owning complex features end-to-end, and mentoring team members. You will be instrumental in scaling our highly-rated Android application and shaping the future of our mobile architecture within a modern stack of Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and GraphQL. This role requires deep expertise in app performance, reliability, and robust testing strategies, and will play a key role in strategically integrating and optimizing our Android app.

Meet the Team & Tech Stack:

You will be joining a large, collaborative Front-End Engineering team of over 35+ professionals. Specializing in iOS, Android, Web, and React Native, they are all focused on building our core application. We maintain high code quality with tools like Koin for dependency injection and testing frameworks such as JUnit, Paparazzi, and Compose UI Test, while boosting productivity with GitHub Copilot. We work closely with our iOS, Web, React Native, Product, Design, and Backend partners, and are currently looking at strategic opportunities to leverage React Native into the application to accelerate cross-platform feature delivery.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Architect and Develop highly reliable, maintainable, and scalable features in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose that integrate seamlessly with our GraphQL API.

• Serve as a strategic partner in the integration, optimization, and maintenance of Android applications to ensure a high-quality, native-feeling user experience.

• Drive architectural decisions and advocate for best-in-class Android patterns (e.g., modularization, state management, dependency injection with Koin) to improve code health and development velocity.

• Lead complex technical projects from conception through deployment, proposing and implementing core tech improvements.

• Mentor and coach intermediate and junior developers, setting a high bar for engineering excellence and code quality across the team.

• Elevate the team's quality standards by performing rigorous, constructive code reviews and championing extensive unit and UI testing using tools like JUnit, Paparazzi, and Compose UI Test.

• Optimize app performance, stability, and responsiveness, proactively identifying and resolving bottlenecks.

• Refine CI/CD pipelines and deployment strategies for timely and reliable releases to the Google Play Store.

• Lead the adoption and strategic use of AI-powered development tools like GitHub Copilot to maximize team efficiency.

Who We Are Looking For:

• 6+ years of full-time, hands-on experience as an Android Developer, with significant time spent leading projects.

• Expert-level fluency in Kotlin and deep understanding of modern Android architecture and Jetpack libraries.

• Proven experience designing and building large-scale applications with Jetpack Compose.

• Expertise in GraphQL implementation and optimization within a mobile environment.

• Strong familiarity with Kotlin and experience with React Native is a bonus. Other cross-platform technologies are a significant asset, specifically related to managing and optimizing its integration into a native codebase (brown-field approach).

• Demonstrated ability to mentor other developers and influence technical direction across a team.

• Deep experience with CI/CD practices and automating releases to the Google Play Store.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating a passion for Android design principles, user experience, and optimizing application performance.

• Applicants must be eligible to work in Canada and willing to relocate to Calgary.
