Introducing the Mobile team 👋

Our Mobile team are the people who build the travel companion in your pocket. They own the mobile app that allows you to travel smart and the buy-flow process that helps you get there. The team is organised into squads with mixed Android and iOS developers, each with a team lead, all reporting into the Mobile Development Manager. Squads are paired up to company level themes which set the tone for the kind of product roadmap the squad will primarily be working on delivering. Key technologies include: Kotlin, RxJava, Dagger, Swift, with a huge focus on quality and clean code.

As an Android Developer at Trainline, you will:

· Join a highly skilled development team, building and delivering maintainable and robust software

· Be actively involved in all aspects of the product lifecycle

· Promote predictability in the teams and focusing on the outcomes rather than delivering a shopping list of features to deadlines

· Regularly use pair programming – two brains are better than one!

· Be influencing the project and how we work

· Be encouraged to blog about technical innovation on Trainline’s engineering blog; expect support from management to achieve this as we strongly believe in showcasing what we learn back into the wider app community.

We'd love to hear from you if you have..

· Working experience with Kotlin

· Enthusiasm for a great user experience

· A passion for continuous delivery

· Experience working with Git - Good grasp of design patterns, SOLID & Clean code principles

But why should you join?

You will be working in a high performing and collaborative multi-cultural team. We have over 42 nationalities across our 5 offices in London, Paris, Edinburgh, Barcelona and Milan who work closely together. 

We want our people to stretch their minds, abilities, and share their knowledge. Each year we hold The Trainline Tech Summit, which provides Trainliners with an opportunity to stand up and share their story, learnings, or new skills with their colleagues in a safe environment.

We've always paid special attention to flexible working as we value a strong work/life balance. The pandemic has taught us that a balance between remote working and being in a collaborative office environment leads to productive teams.
