Job Description:

As a Staff Android Engineer, you’ll build and ship features for high-traffic news apps in a Kotlin-first codebase (Compose, Coroutines/Flow), iterating in small increments and measuring impact in production. You’ll own problems end-to-end — from architecture decisions to testing, CI/CD, rollout, and on-call-level reliability. You’ll join Axel Springer National Media & Tech in Berlin, the team behind the digital products and mobile apps for our national news brands BILD and WELT.

Job Responsibility:

own the end-to-end development of top-rated Android apps using Kotlin, Coroutines/Flow, Jetpack Compose, Dagger/Hilt, Retrofit, and Espresso and other modern technologies
design and evolve a modular architecture that remains maintainable over years and performs reliably under high traffic
advance automation: build, test, release, and rollout pipelines as a first-class part of the product (CI/CD)
act as a technical multiplier by raising quality standards in reviews, coaching teammates, and sharing knowledge across Android teams
shape features from idea to release with product, design, and editorial stakeholders — optimizing for user value, reliability, and speed
explore and apply AI-assisted development tooling to improve developer productivity and quality, with a clear engineering rationale

Requirements:

8+ years of hands-on Android engineering experience, including multiple shipped apps at scale
strong Kotlin (and solid Java) skills
deep knowledge of Jetpack libraries
practical experience with MVVM/Clean Architecture
expertise in Coroutines/Flow, dependency injection, and disciplined unit/integration testing
experience with multi-module codebases and patterns that enable parallel development and long-term maintainability
drive performance and build system maturity by applying Baseline Profiles, Gradle convention plugins, or equivalent practices
a strong CI and CD mindset with a focus on automation, testing, and release engineering as integral parts of product development
clear communication in cross-functional teams (PM, design, backend)

What we offer:

trainings and learning lunches, tech conferences, a budget for workshops
discounted public transport ticket or JobRad leasing, a bicycle garage (incl. regular bicycle service), childcare facilities or a modern in-house kindergartens
30 days vacation plus 10 days work from abroad
free breakfast snack and free lunch in our canteens
guidance on the administrative side of relocation and visa processes through our relocation agency
