Seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer with a strong emphasis on Android development to support a critical internal application used by employees. This is a highly collaborative role with extensive internal stakeholder engagement, requiring onsite presence at least once per week. The app is Android-based, running on a secure web platform, with features like login, lock-down, and timeout to support operations.

This is a hands-on role involving full stack development: Android front-end, backend database integration, and API development across web and mobile platforms. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with deep technical expertise, strong problem-solving abilities, and excellent communication skills.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead development and maintenance of a custom Android application used in-store by employees.
• Work across the stack, contributing to front-end Android development (70%) and API/database development (30%).
• Ensure high performance, reliability, and scalability of mobile applications.
• Collaborate closely with internal business stakeholders to gather requirements, troubleshoot issues, and iterate on solutions.
• Maintain and enhance secure features like authentication, session timeouts, and device lock-down functionality.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to uphold code quality.
• Support the evolution of the tech stack (e.g., future transition toward React, though not currently in use).

Required Qualifications:

• 5-8+ years of professional experience (large/enterprise environment experience) in Android development and full stack development.
• Proficiency in Java, Android SDK, and Android Studio.
• Solid experience with Java EE, Spring Framework, JPA, Hibernate, JBoss, and Tomcat.
• Backend development skills with Oracle and other relational databases.
• Experience integrating and developing RESTful APIs.
• Strong UI/UX design experience for mobile interfaces.
• Familiarity with version control systems, particularly Git.
• Strong debugging, testing, and performance optimization skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for working with internal teams.

Nice to Have (Not Required):

• Exposure to React or an interest in transitioning to modern front-end frameworks.
• Experience in enterprise retail environments or working with in-store technology.

Additional:

• This position must be filled by a local candidate due to the need for regular onsite collaboration.
• We are looking for someone who thrives in a high-touch, high-impact environment where business alignment is key.
