Mid-Level Android Developer

Tezza Business Solutions is looking for a talented and driven Mid-Level Android Developer to join its growing engineering team. In this role, you will take full ownership of native Android application development — from system analysis and architecture through to deployment and ongoing maintenance. You will work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your contributions directly shape the mobile experience delivered to clients across diverse industries.

This is an excellent opportunity for a developer who thrives on solving complex technical challenges, values code quality, and is passionate about staying ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving mobile ecosystem. You will partner closely with product owners, project managers, and cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, scalable Android solutions that meet and exceed client expectations.

• Perform full-stack, hands-on native Android mobile app design and implementation, including system analysis, test-driven development, unit testing, and test automation.
• Code, build, and ship complex new mobile features and standalone Android applications from scratch.
• Refactor, transition, and revise existing Android applications to improve performance, maintainability, and user experience.
• Establish and maintain strong working relationships with project managers, technical product owners, and vendor solution leads.
• Logically design and negotiate technical solutions, participating in long-term product planning and roadmap discussions.
• Collaborate with external teams to design and document RESTful API specifications.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across production and non-production environments in a timely manner.
• Work with application support teams and external vendors to ensure all applications are supported within agreed Service Level Agreements.
• Conduct thorough code reviews to maintain engineering standards and mentor peers where appropriate.
• Propose and implement process improvements that enhance team efficiency and product quality.
• Keep current with emerging technologies, standards, protocols, and tools relevant to the mobile development landscape.

• Hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field — or demonstrate equivalent hands-on work experience.
• Bring a minimum of 5 years of overall software development experience, with at least 3 years focused on Android development.
• Demonstrate the ability to build new Android applications from scratch as well as refactor and modernise legacy codebases.
• Apply strong knowledge of Android UI design principles, custom views, and best practices to deliver polished, intuitive interfaces.
• Work confidently across multiple Android SDK versions and handle varying screen sizes and device configurations.
• Integrate Android applications with RESTful back-end services and third-party APIs effectively.
• Implement offline storage strategies, threading models, and performance tuning techniques to ensure responsive, reliable apps.
• Design natural user interfaces, including touch-based interactions, and leverage device sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers where relevant.
• Utilise cloud messaging APIs and push notification frameworks to deliver real-time user engagement features.
• Demonstrate proficiency with Git for source code control, with at least 4 years of hands-on version control experience.
• Apply familiarity with continuous integration pipelines to automate builds, testing, and deployments.
• Translate complex business requirements into clear, actionable technical specifications and deliver accordingly.
• Benchmark and optimise application performance systematically, leveraging open-source Android libraries where appropriate.

Tezza Business Solutions offers a competitive remuneration package aligned with mid-level technology roles in the Kenyan market. The estimated monthly salary range for this position is KES 120,000 – 200,000, commensurate with experience and demonstrated skills. Additional benefits may include performance-based incentives and professional development opportunities. Specific package details will be discussed during the interview process.

This role is ideal for a self-motivated Android developer who combines strong technical depth with excellent communication and collaboration skills. You are highly detail-oriented, analytical, and comfortable working both independently and within cross-functional teams. You are passionate about mobile technology, take pride in clean and well-tested code, and are proactive about continuous learning. Candidates who meet the minimum 5 years of software development experience and 3+ years of dedicated Android development are strongly encouraged to apply.

Please do not apply if you have fewer than 3 years of Android-specific experience, are unfamiliar with Git-based workflows, or are not comfortable working in a client-facing, deadline-driven environment. Junior developers who have not yet led the development of complete Android applications from scratch are advised to seek more foundational roles before applying.

• Include links to your GitHub profile, Google Play Store apps, or any relevant portfolio demonstrating your Android work.
• Submit your application through the Tezza Business Solutions official careers page or the job platform where this listing was found.
