What a Android App Developer seat is
An Android App Developer seat is for teams who need a dedicated mobile engineering stream, not a general-purpose developer who 'can also do Android.' Your developer builds native Android applications in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, or cross-platform apps in Flutter, and integrates them with your backend APIs, push notification services, and local data storage. Every build goes through your Project Manager's checklist before it reaches your test environment.
Who this seat is for
- Products where Android is the primary user surface, not an afterthought
- Startups iterating on an Android MVP with regular weekly releases
- Teams who have a web backend ready and need mobile connectivity built on top of it
- Founders who want PM-managed Android engineering without the overhead of a full-time hire

Android App Developer FAQ
Do you build native Android or cross-platform apps?
Both. Native Android uses Kotlin with Jetpack Compose and Android Studio. Cross-platform builds use Flutter. Your PM will confirm the best approach for your project during onboarding.
Will the developer help publish my app to the Google Play Store?
Yes. The developer prepares production-ready release builds and walks you through the Play Store compliance checklist, including signing, content ratings, and metadata.
Do I need to provide design files?
Yes — provide mobile wireframes or design files before development starts. If your designs aren't ready, pair this seat with the UI/UX & Frontend seat to cover design first.
Can one seat handle both Android and iOS?
Flutter-based cross-platform builds often target both platforms. For pure native dual-platform development (Kotlin + Swift), consider running parallel seats or moving to a cross-platform stack.
