## Description

Howden is seeking an Android and iOS app developer to join their team. The successful candidate will work on building and maintaining apps that turn an ordinary phone into a motion sensor for insurance telematics.

The app detects when a driver gets into their car, records the journey in the background, and uploads it for scoring. The developer will be responsible for both Android and iOS platforms, with a focus on Android.

Key responsibilities include:

- Background journey recording using foreground services, Activity Recognition, and geofencing

- BLE beacon detection of a device in the customer's vehicle

- Sensor capture and trip assembly using GPS, accelerometer, and gyroscope streams

- Permission integrity and customer-facing app development

- Release engineering for white-label builds and staged rollouts

The ideal candidate will have:

- Strong commercial Android experience in Kotlin, with Coroutines and Flow

- Experience with background execution and its failure modes

- Comfort with the Android runtime permission model

- Modern Android UI and architecture skills

- Instinct to write tests for concurrency and race conditions

- Practical fluency with AI coding agents

- Willingness to debug from evidence and add targeted logging

Desirable skills include:

- Existing iOS experience in Swift and SwiftUI/UIKit

- Prior work in telematics, IoT, fitness/activity tracking, or navigation

- BLE and Bluetooth stack experience

- Location and sensor fusion skills

- Firebase experience

In return, Howden offers a career that you define, with a focus on diversity and individual values.
