Stripe hires Android engineers for its mobile SDK. Paddy Power Betfair has an established Android team for its betting app. HubSpot and Phorest hire Android engineers for their product apps. Zalando's Dublin office hires for its consumer shopping app. Bank of Ireland and other financial institutions hire Android engineers for their mobile banking apps.

What is the remote working rate for Android Developers in Ireland?
Around 77%, broadly comparable to iOS. Device testing remains the one in-person requirement, but most companies manage this remotely through device farms or by shipping test devices. Android remote working is slightly complicated by device fragmentation, as engineers sometimes need access to specific devices that emulators do not faithfully replicate.

How does Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile affect Android Developer hiring in Ireland?
KMM is still early in its adoption curve in the Irish market. A handful of forward-thinking companies have adopted it; most are evaluating it. The current effect is additive: KMM experience makes an Android CV more interesting without replacing core Android expertise. In the next 18 to 36 months, KMM fluency is likely to become a distinguishing factor at the senior level as more companies move from evaluation to adoption.
