About the team

The SumUp Point-of-Sale solution is used by cafes, shops, bars, hair salons, and others to run and grow their business. It offers features such as product catalog, inventory management, business analytics, compliance support, loyalty features, and more.

On a daily basis you will be building new features for the item catalog within the SumUp SuperApp, increasing the expertise of the team on Kotlin Multiplatform, and you will be helping improve the architecture of the application.

You'll be great for this position if:

  • You're comfortable with Kotlin and the Android framework.

  • You have good knowledge of architectural design patterns such as MVVM and MVP, and experience ensuring modularized and scalable app architecture.

  • You know what to test, why to test it, and how to write flexible tests that won't break.

  • You have a good knowledge of reactive programming (flow, Coroutines and concurrency in general).

  • You strive for clean code, but also know how to be pragmatic when needed.

  • You have a desire to do a multi-platform development with Kotlin Multiplatform .
