Job Description
CreateFuture is fast becoming the UK's most recognisable digital consultancy, with years of experience building digital products and services for major organisations whilst putting our people first. We have offices in the centre of Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, and London as well as remote employees located throughout the country.
We are a team of creators - whether that's code, project plans, go to market strategies, culture initiatives, marketing campaigns, large language models or people policies. And together, with our clients, we create the future. This has seen us collaborate and partner across a multitude of industries and sectors, with the likes of PayPal, adidas, Natwest, FanDuel and Money Saving Expert, to name just a few.
Our reputation as a partner determined to deliver high-quality, robust and thoughtful products has enabled us to scale to over 500 people in the last couple of years, and it is our amazing people - along with the safe, supportive and friendly culture we have built - that makes CreateFuture a great place to work. Don't just take our word for it though, we have been recognised by Best Workplaces UK multiple years in a row - across a number of categories - and our employee exit rate is astonishingly low.
Join us on our journey… Let's create something awesome, together, today.
About the role and team:
Our iOS and Android teams work simultaneously to bring similar but distinct experiences to our clients.
Our Android developers use Kotlin, Coroutines and the latest Jetpack libraries. As we continue we're always looking to find and adopt the best tools for the job - whether that's making our CI better with automated code scanning and UI testing or developing reusable libraries that we can share across projects.
We conduct unit testing across all our projects, code is always peer reviewed, and we encourage these reviews to happen "over the shoulder" (or on a call more recently) to make it a better environment for team members to learn from each other. As a team we meet regularly to discuss new approaches and challenges, whether that's within our project teams or in the wider mobile community.
What you'll be doing:
Developing mobile apps with a focus on readable, maintainable and tested code using Kotlin, Coroutines and modern android development practices
Creating modern adaptable user experiences with Jetpack Compose
Collaborating with designers, product owners, testers and clients to deliver great products as an agile team
Being an advocate for engineering best practices on android
We'd love to talk to you if you are:
Strong native mobile development experience using recent Android framework versions
Enthusiastic and experienced in using engineering best practices, clean code and unit testing
Experience working as part of a cross-functional development team
Passion and enthusiasm for delivering great products
What we'll offer you:
At CreateFuture, we challenge ourselves to go beyond the obvious and we care deeply about our craft and customers. With us, you'll have ambitious projects to sink your teeth into and plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. You'll be part of our safe, supportive and friendly culture - that looks after you - and join our team of genuinely great people.
Our benefits include:
Total 35 days holiday (we have flexible bank holidays)
Comprehensive private medical insurance
Enhanced parental and adoption leave
Pension - matched up to 5%
As this is a hybrid role, focussing on Scotland we're looking for people within a commuting distance of our Edinburgh office and who are flexible to travel to client sites and CreateFuture regional offices. We are very flexible and trust you to manage your own schedule to balance face-to-face time with clients, colleagues and working from home.
We create and reinforce a culture that rewards employees' impact, not just activity. We trust our employees to work autonomously and promote ownership across all levels.
