Lead Android Developer
We offer an opportunity to play a key role with a clear influence in developing our Android app to its fullest potential.
About Tiptapp
Tiptapp is the future of moving things around. Our app matches you in real-time to other users that have extra space in their vehicle and time to give your stuff a ride from a to b. You get instant help with deliveries, shopping, moves and recycling of items of any size. This way we help users cope with everyday logistics while providing an important source of extra income for others. By decreasing the number of cars on the road and increasing reuse and recycle rates, we directly contribute to reducing the environmental impact in the cities where we operate. In 2021, Tiptapp’s platform paid out 7 Million Euros to helping users, saved an estimated 1,334 tonnes of CO2 emissions through fewer car rides and gave 40,000 reusable items a new home.
Tiptapp launched in Stockholm in 2016 and is backed by investors that have previously built and backed leading European tech companies like Spotify, Avito, Klarna, and Revolut. We operate across Sweden, London, Berlin and Lisbon with +300,000 users and have been growing quickly since the start. We are now a profitable company and are preparing for rapid international expansion.
We are looking for a Lead Android Developer
We would like our new team mate to have a deep passion for Android development, eager to take on both technical and strategic challenges as part of a collaborative and fun start-up journey. While we appreciate skill, talent, and experience, we place even greater value on a proactive mindset, a fearless approach to challenges, and a strong desire to learn and grow with us. We offer a unique opportunity to take the lead on our Android platform, owning its technical direction, architecture, and user experience in close collaboration with our developers and other key roles. In this role, you'll not only drive the development forward but also act as a product owner for the Android domain, helping shape what we build and how we build it as we scale internationally.
Metamorphosis
We are currently transitioning our Android app from React Native into Kotlin. So, there are still many clean slates that are waiting to be architected and constructed in native code. For the right developer this is a huge opportunity to lay down a new solid foundation for a thriving international market place service. The team will help you to gradually get up to speed and to grow into the platform, as we together establish our future Android app.
What it is like to work at Tiptapp
- We have a collaborative decision making process with lots of workshops.
- Our processes and our software are set up for remote work. But if you are in the Stockholm area, we have also some space at Helios. Barring some occasional visit to HQ, you can be 100% remote. We currently have a hybrid team where some are fully remote, some go to our shared office a few days a week.
- Working hours are mostly flexible, but we have some synchronous work around 10–15 CET, so your timezone should not be too far off.
- We take a yearly trip together (optional of course, but fun!).
We are a hardworking but easygoing group of diverse personalities who love to have fun both at and off work - We love playing games online and offline, doing BBQs, and every year we go on a trip abroad together. We take pride in our strong culture of experimenting, flat and participatory decision-making and always helping each other out, and we think you should too!
What we offer
🎯 Work with a team that is obsessed with innovation and iteration, pushing the frontier of the sharing economy
🌱 Be part of a company that has substantial impact on the environment and society
👩💻 Flexible work hours with full possibility to work remotely
🏹 Competitive salary
☀️ 30 days vacation
🏝 Pension plan
🏃♀️ Wellness allowance (~€500 per year)
We are a remote-first company and offer all employees the possibility to use a co-working space at their convenience.
Who we are looking for
We would like to get in touch with developers who:
- have solid knowledge of mobile app development,
- have 3+ years of experience with native development on Android (Kotlin),
- have a proven track record of taking full responsibility of a platform
Even better if you have:
- hands on experience with React Native,
- good skills in JavaScript (ES6+),
- experience with Node.js, MongoDB and/or AWS,
- a passion for UX / design.
We want to have a diversified team with regards to cultural backgrounds and gender. Therefore we really want to encourage every person qualified to get in touch with us.
We look forward to hearing from you!

The team spirit
The Tiptapp journey started in late 2015 and we have accomplished quite a lot in a short period of time. And we aren't just building yet another app. We're creating a new behaviour. We're making people do things that wasn't possible before Tiptapp. And our users love us for it. We as a team love to create new things. We love questioning status quo. Nothing is impossible. And we believe you as our new team member do that as well.
As we are building a top tier start-up team we are of course really picky with values, inter-personal skills, and personality traits in general. Therefore we usually say we're looking for friends, people you want to hang out with, to have fun with and to create magic together with!
We also believe the secret ingredient in any successful startup is to work focused and to cherish the differences within the team and utilise its common strengths. This means not only that we’ll have fun every day but also that we’ll accomplish something far beyond the ordinary.
