The role

As a mobile developer, you’re responsible for designing and delivering great customer experiences via Family Zone’s native iOS and Android mobile apps. You’re an active participant in agile ceremonies, a team collaborator, and passionate about delivering a great customer experience. Most importantly, you are a valued member of the wider engineering team, and the changes you make will be used by customers in homes and schools around the globe.

• Knowledge of either native Android (Kotlin) or iOS (Swift) development

• The ability to use transferable skills and knowledge to make changes in either the Android or iOS app as demanded by the product backlog

• An ability to participate in the design of API contracts that satisfy business needs, yet provide opportunity to optimise the customer experience

• You love being part of a team and achieving shared goals, but also take ownership of your own deliverables end to end

• The ability to build quality into your code upfront, and resolve production issues through to understanding the root cause

• You’re open-minded and adaptable in responding to new challenges and opportunities

• Additional experience of server-side development will be favourably considered

What can Family Zone offer you?

• You'll be exposed to modern technologies and processes in a fast-paced environment, working within a great development team.
