Android Engineer

At Vend Jobs, we power FINN Jobb, Norway's biggest job marketplace, but our ambitions reach far beyond that. We're redefining how talent is discovered, matched, and empowered through bold experiments and smart use of AI. Our work is gaining attention, and we're having fun doing it, fast, collaborative, and always curious.

Why this role matters

FINN Jobb helps over one million people every month find their next opportunity - and it's at the moments of applying and connecting where job seekers turn their interest into action. The User Connect team focuses on making these moments effortless and engaging, helping job seekers apply for jobs and get in contact with their potential next employer.

As an Android Engineer, your mission is to shape the application experience in our Android app for job seekers at FINN Jobb, containing all ads posted in the Norwegian job market. You'll be part of Jobs Tech, a group of 50+ developers across 8 cross-functional teams, collaborating closely with our product, design and insights peers. You will design, develop, and evolve the part of our Android application from where the jobseeker applies or connects to when it has reached the recruiting company fast, reliably, and rewarding.

You'll work end-to-end: from evolving the Android app's application flows to improve performance, accessibility, and ease of use. You'll help define how our app guides jobseekers through the process - whether that's a single click to apply or easily generate an application letter or resumé.

• Language and UI: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material 3, WARP Design System, Navigation Component with SafeArgs
• Concurrency and state: Coroutines, Flow, MVVM, some MVI patterns

Key responsibilities

• Collaborate with backend/frontend engineers, app developers, designers, and product managers to create consistent, high-quality experiences across platforms
• Experiment with UX patterns, personalization, and automation to reduce friction and increase application success
• Contribute to architecture and code quality, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and performance
• Balance technical excellence with rapid experimentation, always keeping user impact front and center
• Explore AI- and data-driven approaches to improve the job application process
• Strive for a balance between practical delivery, maintainable code, and a culture of consistent experimentation

What we are looking for

• You've built, maintained, and improved Android applications that solve real user problems
• You're fluent in Kotlin, Jetpack, and modern Android development principles
• You have a good understanding of UX principles, use of mobile design systems, and accessibility best practices
• You're energised by experimentation and by building engaging mobile experiences, including exploring AI technologies (no prior experience required)
• You're curious about personalisation, automation, and data-informed design decisions
• You enjoy collaborating closely with others to deliver high-quality, impactful products
• You're passionate about creating high-quality tech that genuinely helps people
• You thrive working together in a cross-functional and autonomous team alongside engineering peers, design, product, insights, and tech leaders

Why you'll love it here

• You'll have a massive impact. What you build directly affects how millions of people find work
• You'll join a culture that's inclusive, supportive, and experimental - where curiosity beats ego
• You'll work alongside some of the smartest engineers in the Nordics, in an environment that prizes autonomy, learning, and fun
• You'll be part of a team that genuinely cares about users, each other, and the craft of software development
