IoT-focused Android Developer

#jobbjustnu

Do you enjoy the Internet of Things? We need competent Android developers with demonstrable experience with Bluetooth BLE integration to build the "next generation" of connected devices.We are looking for an app developer with experience working with Bluetooth Low Energy on Android.

About the job

At The Techno Creatives, we have developed what we call the Elevate platform: a platform for building quality IoT solutions from end to end. Core to our strategy around this is security, privacy, safety and ease of us. To achieve this, we have a technology mix that includes Rust, GraphQL, and custom hardware we build ourselves in collaboration with our Shenzhen office.

In the context of a mobile device, we connect to the Elevate services using GraphQL, but also Bluetooth! This is where mobile developers join the fray and get involved with this process.

You would be responsible for developing applications around a framework that we call Beckon, a reactive wrapper around the Android's Bluetooth libraries that does a lot of work of managing the state of the system. You would be responsible for building on that framework as you become familiar with it.

Key functionality that is likely to be needed in the near future includes integrating a Bluetooth Mesh protocol implementation. Does this interest you? If so, we look forward to your application!

Due to requiring interaction with hardware from time to time, this job requires moving to Gothenburg, Sweden.

What we offer you

A flexible work environment with work life balance in focus. You will be able to combine office work with remote work.

Cross functional, inclusive and talented teams, with opportunities to work on a spectrum of projects from short-term deliverables all the way to long-term product development. The best of both a product company and a consultancy.

A career progression framework with a clear path for growth and promotion.

• Strong ability to implement coherent and reusable components
• Comfortable with modern reactive patterns, such as RxJava/RxKotlin or similar libraries
• A desire to collaborate across a number of disciplines to achieve project goals

Things that are nice to have (but can definitely be learned on the job) are:

• Experience with GraphQL and/or streaming protocols

Apply for the job

As a creative agency, devs are expected to work closely with the design teams, often working together as one to solve a client problem or deliver a solid product. No more freaking out alone trying to build a UI when the designers will have your back.

We take pride in our hiring approach, where we consider your professional and personal experience first and foremost, rather than simply looking at your formal qualifications.

Please note: this role absolutely requires experience with Bluetooth BLE on Android! If you don't have this but think based on similar experience that you would still be suitable, check out our other roles or please email us at [email protected].
