We’re looking for an Android engineer who is comfortable owning features end-to-end and making pragmatic technical decisions. This role is hands-on: you’ll be building and maintaining production-grade Android applications using Kotlin, working closely with product, design, and backend teams. The codebase is actively evolving, so expect to balance shipping features with improving architecture and code quality.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain Android applications written in Kotlin
  • Translate product requirements into scalable, testable, and maintainable solutions
  • Own features from initial concept through release and post-launch support
  • Write clean, idiomatic Kotlin with a focus on readability and long-term maintainability
  • Work with modern Android architecture patterns (MVVM, MVI, or similar)
  • Integrate RESTful APIs and handle asynchronous data flows
  • Collaborate with backend engineers to define and evolve API contracts
  • Ensure app performance, responsiveness, and stability across a range of devices
  • Identify bottlenecks and bugs, and implement fixes with minimal supervision
  • Contribute to code reviews, technical discussions, and architectural decisions
  • Continuously improve code quality, tooling, and development processes

Requirements

  • Strong experience building Android applications in Kotlin
  • Solid understanding of Android SDK, app lifecycle, and common pitfalls
  • Experience with modern Android development tools and libraries (e.g., Jetpack components, Coroutines, Flow)
  • Familiarity with dependency injection (e.g., Hilt, Dagger)
  • Experience consuming and designing REST APIs
  • Good understanding of threading, memory management, and performance optimization on Android
  • Experience writing unit and instrumentation tests
  • Comfortable working with Git in a collaborative environment
  • English level: Fluent
  • All candidates must be based in Brazil

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Jetpack Compose in production
  • Familiarity with modularized architectures
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines for Android
  • Exposure to Kotlin Multiplatform
  • Understanding of offline-first architectures and caching strategies

View company profile

Founded in 2006 by four Microsoft MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals), Plain Concepts embarked on a mission to empower companies by facilitating the adoption of new technologies to enhance their productivity and internal processes. From its inception, the company, initially led by CEO Pablo Peláez, who also served as a Microsoft Regional Director, aimed to deliver innovative and engaging custom solutions for a wide array of digital needs, always with a keen focus on incorporating the latest technological advancements. This commitment to cutting-edge technology and a highly skilled workforce, including numerous Microsoft MVPs and certified professionals, quickly established Plain Concepts as a significant player in the tech industry.

Over the years, Plain Concepts expanded its footprint significantly, growing from its origins in León, Spain, to establish a global presence with offices across Spain (Madrid, Bilbao, Barcelona, Seville, Santander, A Coruña, Zaragoza), the USA (Seattle), the United Kingdom (London), Germany, the Netherlands, the UAE (Dubai), Australia, and Romania. This expansion was fueled by a broad portfolio of successful projects spanning various sectors, including media, telecommunications, banking, retail, and large enterprises. The company's expertise in areas like Artificial Intelligence, Mixed Reality, Big Data, Blockchain, IoT, and Cloud solutions garnered them recognition, including the prestigious Microsoft Partner of the Year award in 2016. By 2019, Plain Concepts had grown to over 350 employees and achieved a turnover exceeding €25 million. A pivotal moment in their journey was the acquisition of a majority stake by ABE Capital Partners in late 2020, a move intended to bolster international expansion and further professionalize the company. In October 2022, after 16 years, Pablo Peláez passed the CEO baton to Quique Martínez Alén, who had been with the company for a decade, to steer Plain Concepts towards its next level of growth and solidify its position as a global leader in technological innovation. The company closed 2021 with a turnover of over €31 million and aimed to reach 500 employees by the end of 2022, continually attracting top talent with appealing benefits and challenging projects in emerging technologies.
