Android Developer - Seeking a path to Lead
Alphero Limited, New Zealand
Job Description
Alphero is a digital agency working with businesses big and small across New Zealand, to build digital services that make a difference for all of Aotearoa. You’ll find we’re behind many of the apps and sites you already know well.
We use fresh, modern, reusable code bases and strategic architecture to future-proof our solutions, all while ensuring that accessibility and security are baked in at every level. Our talented and dedicated devs ensure we are able to deliver on the bold and inventive digital experiences that we envision. They take pride in producing rock-solid, high-quality products at pace, with design vision brought to life to the nearest pixel.
Requirements
We are looking for a warm, collaborative, curious person who loves to code and is passionate about all things Android.
Being part of an agency (that builds products) means you get to be part of the full lifecycle of a product from beginning to end (from architecture to continuous delivery and releases).
As a solid senior developer you will be hands-on coding and leading android work-streams (alongside the iOS lead), contributing to products that deliver genuinely impactful outcomes. You take pride in the elegance and quality of your code, and love to continuously improve it as you go. If you are interested in growing into a technical leadership or solutions architect role, that’s awesome, we are looking to grow more leaders in our dev team.
You actively enjoy being part of a supportive team of colleagues and clients, and understand the value of sparking ideas by working collaboratively in person. At the same time, we absolutely support flexible and hybrid working for balance.
Working in a consulting business means good communication is vital, but you can do this in your own style. You might be a quiet presence or a more extrovert type - either is great!
At Alphero, we recently rebranded with new pillars that run right through our business. They are: Inventive, Emotive and Brave. Our whole organisation gets behind these and you will be collaborating with strategists and designers who produce beautiful concepts for spectacular products and experiences that you will help bring to life.
- Owning an android work-stream and contributing to the architecture and delivery of exceptional products for our clients - from media and broadcasting to health, weather, energy and more. There will also be opportunities to deepen your architecture skills, leverage AI and machine learning, and extend into full stack (cloud understanding or development).
- Collaborating with our inventive designers, and eagle-eyed testers to create outstanding experiences for Android devices. You will have an eye for what good mobile UX/UI looks like particularly for Android.
- Supporting the continual growth and improvement of the Android and wider development practice at Alphero: from keeping across technology evolutions to mentoring junior devs.
We’re looking for someone with 5-10+ years experience as an Android developer using Kotlin and Java. You may have come from a client or an agency background.
The key ‘doing’ skills in this role are: the creation of understandable, supportable code; experience working on all the layers of an application; and care for the security and privacy of the user's data. If you have some gaps, that’s OK, there’s an opportunity to learn - both technical skills and consulting and leadership.
Benefits
Depending on skills and experience, this role has a salary range of $116,000 to $140,000 p/a (with a bunch of other things on the side). We are looking for up to four developers at this level.
If you aren't based in Wellington (but are in New Zealand, or in process applying for a visa) we may contribute towards relocation costs and/or help with getting your visa sorted.
If your CV isn't ready, but you'd love to chat, get in touch anyway!
