Android Developer at Future Minded, London Area, £500 per day

🤖 Senior Android Engineer – Fintech - 6m OUTSIDE contract

💷 Up to £500/day | Outside IR35

📆 6-Month Contract

📍 Central London – 3 days onsite

We’re working with a leading fintech scale-up looking for an experienced Senior Android Engineer to join their mobile engineering team on an initial 6-month contract.

📱 This is a highly product-focused role, working on a major Android product build and creating polished, data-rich mobile experiences. You’ll have genuine end-to-end ownership, from initial idea and technical approach through to testing and release.

👨 💻 A senior doer

This is an important one: they need someone senior who is still very close to the code.

They’re not looking for a hands-off Lead, they want a highly technical, hands-on Senior Android Engineer who can make good architectural decisions but still enjoys getting stuck into the implementation.

You’ll also need to be a confident, clear communicator who can articulate your thinking, work effectively with Product and Design, challenge ideas constructively and explain the reasoning behind technical decisions.

🛠️ What you'll be working on

• Building new features with Kotlin & Jetpack Compose
• Creating polished data-rich UIs, dashboards & visualisations
• Working with design systems and reusable UI components
• Taking end-to-end ownership of features through to release
• Making pragmatic architecture & system design decisions
• Integrating with backend services and APIs
• Contributing to testing, CI/CD & release processes
• Challenging requirements and contributing ideas to the product
• Using modern AI development tools to improve engineering productivity

🎯 What we're looking for

• Strong commercial native Android experience
• Excellent Kotlin and Jetpack Compose skills
• Strong understanding of modern Android architecture
• Highly technical and hands-on with the code
• Experience building high-quality, polished mobile products
• Strong UI implementation skills and appreciation for UX & design
• Comfortable owning complex features from design to production
• Clear, confident communication skills
• Able to explain and defend technical decisions
• Proactive, autonomous and comfortable challenging ideas constructively

😍 Nice to haves:

Experience building dashboards, charts, data visualisations or other complex/data-heavy interfaces would be particularly valuable.

💳 Fintech, banking or financial-services experience is useful, but isn't essential. They're looking for great Android product engineers first and foremost.

🤖 AI-native engineering

The business is actively adopting AI across its products and engineering organisation.

You don't need to be an AI specialist, but we'd like to meet engineers who are comfortable using tools such as Copilot, Claude or similar to accelerate development, testing and code quality while maintaining strong engineering judgement.
