Principal Android Developer

Principal Android Developer | SaaS | Manchester | £80k

We’re hiring a Principal Android Developer for a Manchester-based SaaS business that we genuinely rate — we use their platform ourselves, so we can vouch for the product, the people, and the purpose behind it.

As they continue to level up their tech and user experience, they’re looking for someone to own and evolve their Android vision — combining technical leadership with hands-on impact.

Why join?

This is a growing SaaS brand with a modern product used by thousands every day (us included!). They’ve built an engineering-led culture where teams have real autonomy, room to experiment, and a shared focus on clean code, great UX, and continual improvement. Based in Manchester with flexible hybrid working, they bring people together to build something genuinely useful at scale.

What you’ll do

• Lead the Android strategy, architecture, and standards.
• Work hands-on with Kotlin and modern Android frameworks.
• Mentor and guide other engineers to raise the bar.
• Collaborate closely with product and design to shape user-focused features.
• Drive quality, scalability, and innovation — with no unnecessary red tape.

Tech you’ll work with

• Kotlin (modern, clean Android apps)
• MVVM, Jetpack libraries
• CI/CD pipelines
• Unit + UI testing
• Modular architecture

You’ll love this if you:

✅ Want to build an Android app people actually use

✅ Enjoy combining big-picture thinking with hands-on coding

✅ Like working in a collaborative, product-led team

✅ Value modern engineering practices and clean, scalable code

✅ Want to shape the future of a growing, stable SaaS business

Location: Onsite in Manchester (UK-based)

Salary: £80k + benefits
