Android Developer

About The Role

As an Android Developer on the HiHi team, you’ll be working on a hardware platform that’s genuinely unique. We manufacture our own bespoke business phone and maintain a suite of Java and Kotlin applications tailored to our customers’ needs — all presenting interesting technical challenges. If you’re tired of white-labelling your tenth e-commerce shopping trolley this sprint, and have three or more years of experience, it might be time to try something different. Working on the HiHi desktop business phone at 4Com could be just the change you’re looking for.
