In short

An Android Engineer (Kotlin) builds native apps for the region’s Android-majority user base, where one app must run well on flagship and low-end phones. Remote Pro Ai deploys vetted Android engineers within 4 working days. They build with Jetpack Compose and coroutines, protect apps with Play Integrity and secure storage, and design offline-first flows that respect battery and data limits.

Your Android Engineer builds with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and coroutines, and optimises for low-end devices, offline and battery constraints. Typical stack: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, KMP, Hilt and Room.

Why teams are hiring this role now

Google Play raises its target API level requirement every year, and apps that fall behind lose visibility for new users. With Play Integrity replacing older attestation APIs, many banking and telecom apps now carry upgrade debt. Experienced Kotlin engineers clear that debt while still delivering the product roadmap.

Android Engineer hiring FAQ

Self-serve bookings receive a shortlist within 48 hours and enterprise requests get named candidates within 72 hours. After you approve a profile and sign, your specialist is working within 4 working days, whether the request is on the bench, off-bench or on-site. When fewer than 5 Android Engineer profiles are on the bench, we shortlist from the wider vetted network in the same 48 hours.

Pricing is quotation-based and depends on level, hours and any on-site, clearance or data-residency needs. Current bands: Mid from USD 4,450/month · Senior from USD 5,850/month · Lead from USD 7,600/month. VAT is shown separately, quotes can be viewed in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, and every quotation is valid for 30 days. The Squad Builder shows your quote instantly.

Remote Pro Ai is contractually responsible for quality. Raise it at any time: a replacement starts within 4 working days; the full handover completes in under 14 days. Your first engagement also begins with a no-bill trial, one per company: 5 working days on self-serve bookings and 10 on enterprise contracts.

This role is offered at Mid, Senior and Lead level. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.

Yes, incrementally. Engineers introduce Compose through ComposeView inside existing screens, build a shared theme from your design tokens and move high-change screens first. Navigation, state and tests move with them. The app keeps its normal release cadence, and screenshot tests catch visual regressions in Arabic and English.

They profile with Android Studio and Macrobenchmark, then cut startup work, generate Baseline Profiles, shrink with R8 and cache with Room for offline use. Images load at the right size, background work runs through WorkManager, and every release is tested on a low-RAM device profile as well as flagships.

Many do. KMP shares networking, validation and business logic between Android and iOS while each platform keeps a fully native UI. Engineers set up shared modules, expect/actual declarations and CI for both targets. It suits teams that want native quality without maintaining the same business rules twice.

Engineers manage Play App Signing, staged rollouts, Android vitals and pre-launch reports. They keep the Data safety form accurate, meet each year’s target API deadline and respond to policy notices before enforcement starts. Release notes and a rollback plan accompany every production push.
