Job Description

πŸš€ Senior Kotlin Multiplatform Engineer | Leeds – Hybrid | KMP & Compose | Up to Β£82k πŸš€

Kotlin Engineers… fancy working on something a little different?

I'm working with a growing digital consultancy who are looking for a Senior Kotlin Multiplatform Engineer to join their team, building complex cross-platform applications across Android AND desktop .

This isn't a role where you'll simply be picking up tickets.

They're looking for someone who can bring strong hands-on engineering skills , take ownership of features end-to-end and contribute to the technical decisions behind how products are built.

The opportunity πŸš€

You'll be working with Kotlin Multiplatform & Compose Multiplatform , building applications designed to operate reliably across Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.

Some of the challenges you'll get stuck into include:

Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) & Compose Multiplatform

Building across Android & desktop platforms

Engineering applications that work in offline, disconnected & high-latency environments

🧩 Shared business logic & platform-specific development using expect/actual

πŸ› οΈ Gradle, CI/CD & modern DevOps practices

πŸ§ͺ Automated testing and clean, maintainable engineering

️ Contributing to architecture, technical design and engineering standards

You'll own work from design through to production , while working closely with Engineers, Architects, Product Owners and customers to turn complex requirements into pragmatic technical solutions.

What they're looking for

You're a Senior Engineer who still loves being hands-on .

Someone comfortable making technical decisions, challenging an approach when there's a better option and helping other Engineers around you improve.

You'll ideally bring:

βœ… Strong commercial Kotlin experience

βœ… Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform / KMP

βœ… Compose / Compose Multiplatform experience

βœ… Strong understanding of modern software architecture and engineering principles

βœ… CI/CD, automated testing & Gradle experience

βœ… Experience owning features end-to-end

βœ… Confidence communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

βœ… A collaborative approach to mentoring & code reviews

Consultancy or customer-facing experience would be great, but ultimately they're looking for someone who can combine strong engineering with great communication and ownership .

Why this one? πŸ™Œ

You'll be joining a collaborative engineering environment where you'll have genuine autonomy and influence over how solutions are designed and delivered.

The work is technically challenging, the projects have real-world impact , and you'll have the opportunity to solve problems that go well beyond building another standard app.

Leeds – Hybrid, 2 days per week

Up to Β£82,000
