Hire Android developers for your team in Australia

Look beyond a list of tools. A developer should be able to explain how they build screens, deal with limited device resources and check that an app is ready to release.

• Kotlin and interfacesbuild screens with Jetpack Compose and maintain Java code and XML layouts in an older app.
• Background workuse Kotlin coroutines and Flow for data streams without blocking the main thread and freezing the app.
• Device coverageaccount for phones, tablets, foldables, older Android versions, limited memory and manufacturer battery settings.
• Permissions and scheduled tasksuse WorkManager, request permissions when a feature needs them and handle a user refusing access.
• Testing and release readinessuse JUnit, Compose UI tests, Espresso and Android Studio profilers; keep the target API level current for Google Play.

You direct the work. Our developers already work on our client projects; we do not find freelancers for your assignment. Hiring through a studio generally moves recruitment, payroll, equipment and absence cover to the studio.

1. 01

   Scope

   discuss the product and the work you need done, so the developer has a clear place to start.

2. 02

   Management

   a lead reviews code and keeps work on track, giving the developer a route for decisions and review.

3. 03

   Onboarding

   set up the environment, walk through the product and codebase, then tackle a small real task that touches the main parts of the system.

4. 04

   Technical handover

   share your architecture, coding standards, branching and release process, plus instructions for running the project locally. We write down gaps found during onboarding.

5. 05

   Accounts and contract

   keep repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, and confirm intellectual property assignment in the contract.

Health service businesses can be covered by the Privacy Act regardless of turnover. If your app collects or shares user data, we help you document that information for its Google Play Data safety form, so the form reflects what the app does.

For an organisation covered by the Privacy Act, giving an overseas contractor access to personal information is usually a disclosure. Before sharing it, the organisation must take reasonable steps concerning the recipient’s handling of that information. We set up individual accounts with only the permissions needed, starting with staging and adding production access once review is in place.

Prepare enough direction for the developer to begin with useful work.

• Tasksrank your backlog or describe the first set of work clearly, so the developer is not waiting for assignments.
• Definition of doneagree review rules, expected tests, and how work is deployed and approved.
• Progress measuresuse merged pull requests, demos and shipped features instead of counting meetings.
• Early reviewsreview code from the start to establish standards and catch misunderstandings while they are easier to fix.
