Job Description

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

·       Work in a way we consider to be agile, we are big on promoting 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

·       nothing is set in stone, and we seek to continuously improve our project including but not limited to the architecture and the processes.

·       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.

 

Qualifications

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

·       Ability to write testable code; or perhaps you’re trapped in a role which doesn’t allow you to produce work to your standards, we’d love to hear more

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