Hire Remote Android Developers (Kotlin & Java)

Hire Senior Android Developers Who’ve Shipped Top-Rated Google Play Apps

Android’s market share exceeds 70% globally — and building for it means shipping to a device ecosystem spanning thousands of screen sizes, manufacturers, Android versions, and hardware configurations. The Android developers who can navigate that complexity — who’ve architected Jetpack Compose apps at scale, optimized battery usage, and shipped financial-grade applications across the Android device matrix — are on our bench ready to join your team.

We match you with senior Android developers who’ve shipped high-performing Google Play applications for Fortune 500 enterprises, unicorn startups, and category-defining consumer products. Engineers who write idiomatic Kotlin, understand Jetpack deeply, and know how to build Android apps that work reliably across the full device and OS version spectrum.

Start in days, not months. Pay 50% less than equivalent US-based Android talent.

What Our Android Developers Build

Consumer Android Applications

Jetpack Compose and View-based Android apps built for Google Play — optimized for retention, Google Play policy compliance, material design, accessibility, and performance across Android 8+ and hundreds of device configurations.

Enterprise & MDM-Deployed Applications

Complex enterprise Android apps with SSO, Android Enterprise (work profile, fully managed), EMM integration, offline-first architecture, and integrations with enterprise backends. BYOD and corporate-liable deployment scenarios.

Fintech & Regulated Android Apps

Banking, trading, healthcare, and insurance Android apps with biometric authentication (BiometricPrompt), Android Keystore hardware-backed key storage, certificate pinning, root detection, and compliance-focused security architecture.

Jetpack Architecture & Offline-First Apps

Room database architecture, WorkManager for background processing, DataStore for preferences, Navigation component, and Paging 3 — apps built to Android’s modern architecture guidelines that perform reliably in offline and poor-connectivity environments.

Android TV, Wear OS & Automotive

Beyond the phone: Android TV Leanback apps, Wear OS complications and watch faces, and Android Automotive OS media and navigation applications — extending your Android presence to additional surfaces.

Client Success Story: Mobile Banking App — 4.7★ Rating Across 28M Users

A digital bank expanding from a web-only product to native mobile needed Android engineers who could ship a financial-grade app without the security and reliability shortcuts that get apps rejected or, worse, breached. Our Android team built a Jetpack Compose app with hardware-backed key storage via Android Keystore, certificate pinning, root and emulator detection, biometric authentication with fallback PIN handling, real-time transaction push notifications, and an offline account summary screen. The app launched to 2M users in the first month without a single security incident and reached 4.7 stars across 28M users 18 months post-launch.

Client Success Story: Field Service App — 43% Productivity Improvement for 3,000 Technicians

A Fortune 500 utility company’s field technicians were managing work orders on paper and aging Windows Mobile devices. Our Android engineers built an enterprise field service application — offline-first with WorkManager-based background sync, camera integration for job documentation with ML Kit text extraction from equipment labels, GPS-tracked job progress, and EMM deployment via VMware Workspace ONE. Time spent per work order dropped 43% due to eliminated paperwork. Job completion accuracy improved 31% because technicians had real-time access to technical documentation and parts availability data.

Why Companies Choose Our Android Developers

• Kotlin-native expertise: They write idiomatic Kotlin — Coroutines, Flow, sealed classes, and extension functions used correctly, not Java converted to Kotlin syntax
• Jetpack fluency: They use Jetpack components as intended — Room, WorkManager, Navigation, and Compose in modern architecture patterns
• Device compatibility: They test on the real Android device matrix and know how to handle manufacturer-specific quirks
• 50% cost savings: Senior Android expertise at a fraction of US market rates
• Fast start: Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks

Engagement Models

• Individual Android Developer — One senior Android engineer for new feature development, architecture modernization, or performance optimization.
• Android Development Pods (2–3 engineers) — Android developer paired with a backend engineer and QA specialist. Common for full app builds or major platform migrations.
• Mobile Teams (3–8+ engineers) — Complete squads for enterprise Android applications or consumer apps requiring rapid feature velocity.
• Contract-to-Hire — Evaluate a developer’s Android output before committing long-term.

How To Vet Android Developers

Our Android vetting identifies engineers who understand the platform — not just Java developers who switched to Kotlin.

1. Technical screening — Kotlin Coroutines and Flow, Jetpack Compose state management (State, ViewModel, recomposition), Android lifecycle, background processing trade-offs (WorkManager vs. Foreground Service), and memory/battery optimization. Over 90% of applicants do not pass this stage.
2. Portfolio review — Live Google Play apps they’ve shipped. We evaluate code architecture, UI quality, Play Store ratings, and compatibility scope.
3. Live coding challenge — Build a Jetpack Compose screen with proper ViewModel, state management, and Coroutines-based network call. Evaluated on idiomatic Kotlin, Compose best practices, and testability.
4. Communication screening — Android developers work with product managers, designers, and backend engineers. Clear cross-functional communication is essential.

What to Look for When Hiring Android Developers

Strong Android developers understand the platform’s constraints — memory, battery, fragmentation — and design for them.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

• They discuss Android lifecycle proactively — they know how to handle configuration changes, process death, and back-stack correctly
• They write idiomatic Kotlin Coroutines — they understand structured concurrency, scope management, and exception handling
• They profile with Android Studio Profiler — they’ve diagnosed memory leaks, jank, and excessive battery drain on real devices
• They have Google Play submission experience and understand Play policy for their domain

Red flags to watch for:

• Writes Kotlin that looks like Java — no Coroutines, data classes, extension functions, or scope functions used idiomatically
• No awareness of Android fragmentation — has never tested across manufacturers or Android API levels
• “It works on my Pixel” — has never profiled on the device matrix or addressed OEM-specific issues
• No understanding of Android lifecycle — causes memory leaks via Activity context leaks or improper ViewModel usage

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

• “Walk me through how you’d architect an Android app that needs to sync data in the background reliably across Android 9 through 14, including Doze Mode and battery optimization restrictions.”
• “Describe how Jetpack Compose recomposition works and how you’d optimize a composable that’s recomposing too frequently.”
• “How would you implement secure credential storage in an Android app? Walk me through the Android Keystore architecture and BiometricPrompt integration.”

Related Services

• Mobile App Developers — Full-spectrum mobile development including Android, iOS, and cross-platform.
• iOS Developers — Swift and Objective-C iOS engineers for teams building native Android alongside iOS.
• Full-Stack Developers — Full-stack engineers who build both the Android app and the backend API it depends on.
• DevOps & SRE Engineers — Infrastructure engineers who manage CI/CD, Firebase App Distribution, and backend services for your Android app.
