Oda, Norway's leading online grocery retailer, is hiring a Fullstack Android Developer in Oslo to own core shopping flows (browsing, search, cart, checkout) in its Kotlin-based Android app, while also learning and contributing to the backend services and APIs that power the mobile experience.
At Oda, we develop affordable grocery services to make the logistics of living surprisingly easy. First we built Norway’s leading online grocery store and now, partnered with Mathem in Sweden, we’re on our way to becoming the world’s most effective retail system, delivering to thousands of Scandinavian doorsteps every week.
We’re looking for a Fullstack Android Developer to join the Shop team at Oda!
As part of the Shop team, you’ll join the people who build everything customers see and interact with: our apps, the web shop, marketing tools, notifications, payment, accounts and more. It’s a big responsibility, and it means we can design and build the customer journey end to end.
In this role, your primary craft will be Android development. You’ll work hands-on with the Oda Android app, taking ownership of core shopping experiences such as browsing, search, product pages, cart and checkout.
But we don’t think ownership of a mobile product stops at the edge of the app.
Some of the systems behind our apps exist specifically to support the mobile experience. As part of the mobile team, you’ll be expected to understand those systems, learn how they work and contribute to them when needed. That might mean changing an API contract, adjusting an endpoint or working in an app-specific backend service to get a feature all the way into customers’ hands.
We don’t expect you to arrive as a backend engineer. We do expect curiosity and a willingness to grow beyond the boundaries of the Android codebase.
The problem you’ll help solve: Imagine a parent on a busy Tuesday evening. A toddler on one arm, tomorrow’s dinner to order with the other. Search must work, the cart must feel trustworthy, and checkout must be calm.
Your job is to make that journey smoother month by month by shipping, measuring and iterating on improvements that make the experience more reliable and intuitive.
You’ll take ownership of key parts of the shopping experience in our Android app and help shape how they evolve.
You’ll work closely with Android, iOS, web and backend engineers as well as designers and product managers to turn ideas and customer problems into real solutions. You’ll also work across the boundary between the app and the services behind it, learning and contributing to the backend components that are part of delivering the mobile experience.
You’ll…
Build and improve core Android shopping flows such as browsing, search, product pages, cart and checkout.
Take features from an idea through implementation, shipping, measurement and iteration.
Work closely with iOS and web engineers so our shopping experiences feel familiar and coherent across platforms.
Understand the APIs, contracts and backend systems that power the Android app.
Learn and contribute to app-specific backend code when that is part of delivering a feature end to end.
Collaborate directly with designers and product managers to solve customer problems rather than simply implement specifications.
Help evolve our mobile architecture and engineering practices as the product grows.
Care about the less-visible details that make an app feel trustworthy: loading states, offline and failure scenarios, performance, accessibility and what happens when things go wrong at the worst possible moment.
We don’t expect you to know everything on day one. But we think you’ll enjoy this role if:
You have experience building native Android applications, ideally using Kotlin and modern Android technologies.
You care deeply about building high-quality product experiences, not only implementing screens.
You’re comfortable working with APIs and interested in understanding what happens beyond the client.
You’re willing to learn and contribute to backend code that exists to support the mobile product. Previous backend experience is useful, but it isn’t a requirement.
You like taking ownership of a problem from the customer experience down through the technical layers needed to solve it.
You care about maintainability, performance, reliability and the small details customers notice.
You enjoy working in a team where problems are shared rather than thrown over the fence. Designers, mobile engineers, web engineers, backend engineers and PMs all sit at the same table.
You’re curious, ask questions until things make sense, and prefer clear, maintainable solutions over clever ones.
To thrive in this role, we believe you’ll want to become an expert in our Android product while also understanding more of the system around it. You don’t need to become a backend specialist, but over time we want our mobile engineers to be able to follow a customer problem across the app/backend boundary and contribute wherever the solution needs to live. If you’re unsure whether you tick every box, that’s okay. We would still like to hear from you!
A chance to make a real impact on a mobile product used by customers as part of their everyday lives.
Room to grow, not only as an iOS engineer, but as a product engineer with broader ownership of the systems behind the app.
Teammates who aim high and have each other’s backs. We care about people, and that means supporting each other every step of the way.
A flat structure where we team up across disciplines to solve exciting challenges. Big ideas come from everywhere.
A transparent way of working. We use Slack to stay in the loop-less email, fewer meetings, more getting things done.
A buzzing office at Tøyen, with lunch made by our very own chefs. 🧑🍳
A collaborative approach - we tackle product and technical challenges together, across different fields.
A chance to shape the future of grocery shopping while building a company that’s here to stay.
Please apply by 18th of October. We look forward to hearing from you! 💛
