Android Mobile Engineer

As a fully digital bank, we are looking for engineers that can understand and prioritise both security and customer experience when implementing new features, fixing bugs or making technical improvements.If you could create the best digital bank in Australia, what would it look like? And how would it make life easier for customers? 
We’re wondering the same thing.

We built it. We launched it. Now, we run
Twelve months ago, we started with an idea: to disrupt the industry with a beautiful, brilliant banking solution designed specifically for small businesses and everyday Aussies. We added some curiosity and bravery. And we built a team of legends.
Now it’s official: we’ve launched the new, digital AMP Bank. But this is only the end of the beginning, in a journey that is only getting started… Check it out: https://www.amp.com.au/better-banking?extcmp=scl-emplyeeshres-0225

We need industry stirrer-uppers
You know: non-conformers. Those who are compelled to do something different. Who care enough about the customer to ask the big questions no one else will. Who want to know what if. What if we tweaked this, or toggled that. You zig when everyone else zags, disagree without being disagreeable, and love the rush of starting something new. 

Specifically, an Android Engineer not boxed in by job title 
We are looking for a customer-obsessed individual who is passionate about technology and creating a world class technology experience. As an Android Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and enhancing our brand new mobile banking Android application, leveraging Starling’s “Engine” technology platform.

Some of your responsibilities may include;

• Making enhancements to the app’s features and products
• Responding to and resolving incidents 
• Monitoring and optimizing the performance and scalability 
• Implementing security best practices
   
• Demonstrated experience in Android Development
• Strong knowledge of Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, and Android SDK  
• Experience with RESTful APIs and third-party libraries 
• Strong understanding of mobile app design and user experience 
• Experience with Agile development methodologies 
• Familiarity with Git and version control 
• Hands-on experience with test driven development, test automation and UI Test Automation (Espresso) 
• Hands-on experience in modular architecture 
• Contributing to our Android app and internal tooling

What matters
We use Espresso to write our UI/E2E Test and JUnit to write our Unit Tests across all layers of the application, as well as manually test all features before they go into production. 

What doesn’t matter
You don’t have to be from the finance world, as long as you’re tech-minded and a restless and relentless customer champion. 

Imagine the lovechild of a fintech startup and a big four
Agile and hands on meets established and fully resourced. That’s kind of who AMP Bank is. We’ve just built a whole new, digital business from the ground up. Only we’ve done it with the backing of a leading tech platform that works (the same tech that fuelled Starling Bank’s success in the UK) and the financial muscle of AMP’s 170-year heritage. But what we’ve built isn’t static - it’s living, evolving, and shaped by our customers. Every piece of feedback, every idea will push it forward, guiding what we build next to create something truly special.
Take that. Add you. Shape who we become. 
Right now, we’re taking the best of AMP’s current culture, borrowing from successful neobank cultures and creating something entirely new. So, there are still a lot of unknowns. But you’ll be part of the original squad, setting the tone for who we become. A lot of it will be trial and error and making mistakes, so you need to be comfortable with things not always going to plan. We are.  And we’re 110% in this together. So, you won’t go it alone, but you will be called to muck in and play your part. This is no place to hide. We want your ideas to be heard and celebrated. It’s about moving fast, working together and being transparent in everything we do. 

It’s all of the fun, with none of the financial risk.
This is your greenlight to take a sledgehammer to traditional banking and build a meaningful digital business from scratch. One that’s so simple, smart and savvy, people write songs about it. Only, instead of the sleepless nights and cashflow worries that come with the startup phase, you’ll have the tools, money, team and salary of a fully-fledged business. It’s all of the fun of a startup, with none of the personal risk.

So, roll up your sleeves. There’s work to be done. 
Sure, it’s going to be a fast, furious, challenging ride. It’s new for us too. But that’s the thrill of it. So, roll up your sleeves and burn your suit. There’s work to be done. 

Let’s build the bank you wish existed.
Let’s get rid of the old school, the outdated and bank statements collecting dust on kitchen benches. And make AMP Bank the relatable, customer-obsessed bank we know it can be.
