Junior Android Engineer

At Plum, we're on a mission to maximise wealth for all. We’re making saving money effortless and turning investing into something everyone can do. Our journey began back in 2017, when we became one of the first to use artificial intelligence and automation to simplify personal finance. Fast forward to today, and we've already helped people save £2 billion across 10 European markets.

Named the UK's fastest-growing fintech in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, our success is down to the passion and dedication of our diverse team. Based in our London, Athens and Nicosia offices, 170 talented people work together to empower people to do more with their money. And now, the team is growing!

The Role 

We’re looking for a Junior Android Engineer who’s eager to grow and passionate about building user-friendly mobile experiences. You'll be part of shaping Plum’s Android app from the ground up, helping current and future users manage their money more easily and intuitively.

This is a great opportunity to work on a live product, learn from experienced engineers, and have a real impact early in your career.

Our Engineering Approach

We care about writing clean, maintainable code and building things that last. We favour simplicity over shortcuts and love working in quick, focused iterations. We value curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to learn, not just experience.

How we work

We work in small, cross-functional squads, each focused on a specific mission. As a Junior Android Engineer, you’ll collaborate closely with Product Managers, Designers, Backend and Mobile engineers. You’ll also be part of our Mobile Engineering team, a supportive group of developers who share a passion for building an outstanding mobile experience.

🏢 We follow a hybrid working model, with two in-office days per week.

What we are looking for:

We don’t expect you to have all the answers. What matters most is your attitude and willingness to learn. You’re excited to be part of a startup environment where you can help solve real-world problems and grow fast.

You might be a great fit if:

• You’re comfortable with Kotlin and eager to deepen your Android skills
• You’re familiar with Android architecture patterns (e.g. MVVM)
• You’re excited to collaborate with designers and build beautiful, user-friendly UIs
• You enjoy working on real products with real users
• You’re open to feedback, naturally curious, and always looking to improve
• You care about the why behind what you’re building

Fist-bumps 👊 if you have

• Some experience with Jetpack Compose
• Exposure to DI tools and architecture components
• Experience working with REST APIs and JSON
• Familiarity with Git, testing, or CI/CD tools
• A good eye for design and appreciation of Material Design principles
• Interest in Agile ways of working

Plum's Perks

• Own part of the company you're helping grow through stock options
• Private health insurance
• Annual training budget
• Plum Premium for free
• Competitive referral scheme
• Flexible approach to remote working: we encourage at least 2 days a week in one of our beautiful offices in London, Athens or Cyprus
• Team breakfasts and team lunches
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• 45 work-from-anywhere days to give you flexibility to work your way
• 2 weeks sabbatical after 4 years to take the break you deserve
• Enhanced parental leave
• 1 paid volunteering day annually
• Annual team trip to a surprise destination!
• A fun, inclusive company culture (think 🦄🌈💯)

If you think this sounds like a bit of you then don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Thanks,

Plum Τeam 💜
