Android · Kotlin
Hire Android developers in Kotlin.
Jetpack Compose, coroutines and Material 3 — modern Android, built the way the current platform expects rather than the way it worked in 2018.
Day-to-day
01Capability
What our Android engineers do.
Including the parts that only show up once you have real users on real devices.
- Build in Compose, not fragments
- Declarative UI, dynamic colour and window size classes that hold up on phones, foldables and tablets alike.
- Get concurrency right
- Coroutines and Flow with lifecycle-correct scopes, plus background work that survives Doze and OEM battery managers.
- Own the Play release
- Play App Signing, staged rollouts, pre-launch reports and target-SDK compliance ahead of the deadline rather than after it.
- Handle fragmentation deliberately
- A stated minimum API level, a tested device set, and OEM quirks handled in code rather than discovered in one-star reviews.
02Engagement
How to actually engage us.
Three ways to get senior Android engineers on your product, priced in the open.
- Retainer — from $4k a month
- Reserved senior capacity on a rolling basis. Closest thing to an embedded hire, without the recruitment cycle or the notice period.
- Scoped project — $15k to $100k+
- A defined deliverable with a written scope and a fixed range: an MVP sprint at $15k–$40k, or a full build at $40k–$100k+.
- Assessment first
- For existing codebases, a scoped read-and-report before anyone commits to a monthly number. Nobody can quote a fix before reading the code.
03Terms
What you get either way.
The four things that do not change with the engagement model.
- Senior hands only
- The people who scope your project are the people who build it. No handoff to a junior bench after the pitch.
- Honest scopes
- A number we can stand behind beats a number that wins the pitch. Change requests get repriced in the open.
- You own everything
- Source, pipelines, store accounts and architecture notes. No lock-in and no hostage keys, whenever you leave.
- One business day
- Every brief gets a reply from an engineer within one business day, including the ones we turn down.
04FAQ
Before you brief us.
What does it cost to hire Android developers?
From $4k a month for reserved senior capacity, or $15k–$40k for a scoped MVP sprint and $40k–$100k+ for a full build. Quoted after a written scope, not before.
Kotlin or React Native for our Android app?
Kotlin with Compose when Android is a first-class platform or the app leans on device capabilities. React Native when both stores share one budget and the interface is not the differentiator.
Can you migrate our app from Views to Compose?
Yes, and incrementally rather than as a big-bang rewrite — Compose interoperates with Views, so migration can run screen by screen alongside feature work.
Our app is about to miss a Play target-SDK deadline.
That is a common starting point and it is time-boxed work. We scope a compliance pass first so the listing stays live, then deal with the rest of the backlog.

The work these engineers do.
Same people, described by the project rather than the role.
Android app development
Modern Android with Jetpack Compose, Material 3 and an architecture that survives its second year and its fourth OS version.
React Native development
One codebase, two platforms, no uncanny valley. Native modules where it counts, shared product surface everywhere else.
App maintenance
Continuous delivery on an app that already exists: features, OS migrations, crash triage and the performance work nobody schedules.
