Hire Android developers
Senior Android developers build native Kotlin and Jetpack Compose apps with AI tools and check everything those tools produce. Each one is tested on lifecycle management, device fragmentation, offline state handling and Play Store release discipline.
01
Compose UI breaks across real devices
AI tools generate Compose layouts that pass on one emulator and fail across device sizes, OS versions and different screen densities. Engineers have to read and own that output before it merges.
02
Coroutines and lifecycle trip up model output
Generated coroutine and lifecycle code often looks correct and falls apart under process death or configuration changes. That's where bad AI output causes production crashes, so it's where we test hardest.
03
Staged rollouts require release judgement
Play Store staged rollouts mean an Android engineer's job includes deciding when to halt a rollout and when to proceed, and AI tools don't make that call. Release discipline is part of what we assess.
How we assess Android developers
Every engineer works through a fundamentals assessment with AI tools switched off and a second assessment with their own agents running. For Android developers, these criteria carry the most weight.
- AI output verification
The engineer reviews generated Kotlin and Compose code against real device behaviour, lifecycle contracts and process death scenarios before merging anything.
- Debugging
Engineers reproduce and trace coroutine and lifecycle bugs in a real Android codebase.
- Judgement by risk and ownership
The engineer decides which AI-generated changes are safe to ship in a staged rollout and which need rework or a hold, taking ownership of that call.

What is a mobile app?
A mobile app is software installed directly on a smartphone or tablet, distinct from browser-based web apps. This entry covers how they're built, distributed and categorised.
The impact of AI on mobile app development
AI changes what mobile teams ship and how they build it. This entry covers personalisation, security, coding agents and automated testing.

Questions about hiring Android developers
How senior are the Android developers on your shortlist?
They're senior engineers who've shipped Kotlin apps to the Play Store and have handled real-world problems like device fragmentation, offline state and lifecycle edge cases. They work full-time on your team, with a three-month minimum engagement.
How do you test Android skills specifically?
Engineers complete two sixty-minute assessments in a real Android codebase. The first has AI tools switched off and covers fundamentals including Kotlin, lifecycle and debugging. The second uses the engineer's own AI tools and tests whether they catch errors in generated Compose and coroutine code before it ships. You get both scorecards.
How quickly can an Android developer start?
You get a shortlist within five working days. From shortlist to first commit is three weeks. Engineers are available full-time and work to a three-month minimum.
What does it cost to hire an Android developer through Miyagami?
You pay €5,600 to €8,000 a month per full-time engineer, with no recruitment fee and nothing upfront. Our pricing page shows how that compares with a local hire. If an engineer doesn't work out, we replace them at our cost.
Do Android developers work in our tools and systems?
Yes, they join your existing repo, CI pipeline, project management tools and communication channels. You don't have to change your stack or adopt ours.
Get a shortlist within five working days
You share the roles and the stack in a short form or a thirty-minute call. Within five working days you get named senior engineers to review, each with both scorecards.
