Android developer at Mullvad VPN // Gothenburg

We believe that privacy is fundamental to a well-functioning society where norms, ethics, and laws can be safely discussed and challenged. That same society cannot flourish and develop, nor can it exist, without privacy. That’s why we provide a VPN service: because privacy is paramount. We are Mullvad VPN ( (https://mullvad.net/en/)) and we want to grow, get shown and become accessible in stores all across the globe. Do you, our new Android developer, also believe in making internet censorship and mass surveillance ineffective?

About the role
You will be part of the app development team (we’re eight today). Although your primary focus will be on bringing new features to Android, you will also have the opportunity to improve the app on other platforms. You’ll also have the chance to learn/work with Rust, iOS, TypeScript, and more. The team works only with open-source software. The entire app is available on github (https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/). We want your help to develop it further!

We are looking for you...
who love to discuss how we could collect, and store less, and rather delete more data and you value quality over quantity. Always.

Our four wishes

- The UI and the base of the Android app are written in Kotlin. This is where we hope and expect you to contribute.
- You should be familiar with creating Android UIs and handling the app life cycle in general.
- However, the backend of the app (creating the actual VPN tunnel and keeping the device secure) is written in Rust. This Rust backend is the same code base that runs on desktop. We don't expect you to know any Rust, but it's a plus if you’re interested in learning. If you know how to interact with other languages (FFI/jni) from Kotlin/Java, that is a plus.
- The team consists of people from various countries and backgrounds. You are therefore expected to have good communication skills in English.

Wellness and development
We offer an annual allowance toward wellness-related activities. You’re also given opportunities to attend conferences for professional development. We’ll help cover home office equipment, computer reading glasses, and books that advance your growth.
