Android Engineer

Millions of people want to grow their money but don't know where to start. More than 90% of adults don’t access traditional financial advice. That's the gap Plum was built to close.

We're building the proactive money platform that makes it easy for people to smartly and sustainably grow their money. Whether you're stashing the cash for tea and toast in your first home or catching some rays during retirement, we've got your back.

Since 2016, millions of people across 10 European markets have set aside more than £10 billion with Plum. But what we're most excited about is what comes next and the opportunity for our people to help shape it.

We're now going after something even bigger: the £2 trillion+ advised market in the UK and beyond, currently locked behind high fees and complexity. By combining AI-driven financial guidance with the products people actually need, we're building a solution for everyone, not just the wealthy few.

At Plum, you'll be part of a team that's ambitious, curious and driven. We move fast, learn from what doesn't work, challenge the status quo and, most importantly, build something that makes people's lives better. We believe great ideas can come from anywhere, and that the best work happens when people feel trusted to take ownership, collaborate openly and bring their whole selves to work.

The Team & The Role

We’re looking for a user-focused Android Engineer to join our engineering team and play a key role in building Plum on Android from its early days, giving our current and prospective customers a more intimate way to interact with their money.

This role is perfect for someone who values good engineering principles, imagination, quirkiness and healthy curiosity. We take a conservative approach to using external frameworks and we aspire to write simple, well-tested code, delivered in rapid iterations.

How We Work

We work in "squads" – a more startup-appropriate name for saying small, cross-functional teams. Each squad has a mission and a set of KPIs to monitor and improve. As an engineer you'll be working in a squad, but you can also reach out to and work with anyone in the company. You will also be part of a Mobile engineering team, consisting of Mobile Product Engineers who share the same vision and passion of building an exceptional mobile team that will help people be financially better off.

What You Will Do

• Build a product that makes people better off
• Build with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, leveraging your knowledge of the full Android stack and modern architecture patterns
• Collaborate on a cutting-edge Android project
• Work closely with design to turn ideas into well-crafted and delightful experiences
• Think like a product person and understand the value and impact of your work

What We Look For

• Solid experience with Kotlin programming language
• Hands-on experience with DI and Android architecture components
• Sound understanding of Git strategies, continuous integration setup, and automation
• Experience with unit testing
• An eye for design that you can transform into Material Design!
• A genuine interest in agile development processes
• Solid experience working with remote data via REST and JSON

We offer a compensation package consisting of base salary and equity, with compensation reviewed twice a year as part of our performance and growth framework.

The salary range (annually gross) for this position is:

• €28.000–€49.000

Final compensation will be confirmed at the end of the hiring process and will be based on the level at which the candidate is assessed, taking into account their experience, expertise, and alignment with our internal competencies and leveling framework.
