Senior Android Engineer - Investments & Savings

About the opportunity:

  We are seeking a talented Senior Android Engineer to contribute and evolve our product.  As a Senior Software Engineer, you elevate the standard. You prevent problems before they happen and bridge the gap between product requirements and technical execution. You will join the Investments & Savings segment at N26. Our team is responsible for the entire trading and savings experience. From Crypto and Stocks to ETFs, Managed Funds and Savings. The Reality: We are a bank, not just an app. We operate at the intersection of high speed trading and strict financial regulation. The Environment: Markets move fast, and so do we. We operate in a highly dynamic regulatory and technical landscape where requirements evolve rapidly. The Challenge: You aren't just building features; you are building a real-time trading platform that must be secure, compliant, and responsive. The Mindset: We want engineers who love movement. If you thrive in environments where the goalposts move because the market has moved, you will belong here. We value inquisitiveness over rigid adherence to a plan.  

In this role, you will:

• Work in cross-functional teams, understand how the entire puzzle fits together instead of just being a solitary piece
• Take ownership and have an impact on the product
• Ask "Why?" and be prepared to be asked "What do you think about it?"
• Engage in knowledge-sharing within your team as well as beyond
• Understand and work with Agile development methodologies
   

What you need to be successful:

  Background: 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years building high-quality Android applications at fast-paced tech companies or fintech startups, with hands-on experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable mobile solutions.
   

Skills: 

• Experience with the Android Open Source Platform and Material Design principles
• Experience with Kotlin
• Experience with Reactive programming -  Kotlin coroutines - Flow
• You strive to build Android applications that can be summarized as RSA - Responsive, Slick and Attractive. You also understand why RSA is important for a Mobile Bank from a cryptographic point of view.
• Code quality tingles your senses - you can see, feel and smell the difference between good and bad architecture.
• You engage in proactive software development but still understand Reactive programming paradigms.
• You'd rather take a Dagger to your heart than have flaky code sitting around for a long time.
• Test cases are the first things you think of before building a feature and the last things you check before pushing your code.
• You like Compose and use it fluently
   

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with Model-View-ViewModel architectural patterns
• Able to build software with a focus on testability - Test/Behavior Driven Development, Dependency Injection
• Active participant/speaker at meet-ups and conferences in the Android community

What’s in it for you:

• Employee benefits that range from a competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation.
