Nov 18, 2025 - MidLevel

$9,999.00 Fixed

We’re looking for an Android Developer who builds apps that feel smooth, intuitive, and truly “native” — the kind of developer who understands that great mobile apps aren’t just functional… they’re experiences.


This project involves building a feature-rich Android application for an emerging consumer-tech brand. Think:

✔ Modern Material 3 UI

✔ Offline-first architecture

✔ Real-time Firebase sync

✔ Deep API integration

✔ Background services + notifications

✔ Payment flow

✔ Highly optimized performance


You won’t just write screens.

You’ll shape the entire mobile experience.


We’re looking for someone who thinks like a product engineer — someone who understands UX, architectural decisions, user behavior, and how small micro-interactions can transform the feel of an app.


This is a 10–12 week project, with potential extension for post-launch improvements, analytics-based optimization, and new feature releases.
