We own and develop the Dyson Link Smart home app, which is at the forefront of Dyson's IoT experience. We are proud of what we have built so far; we have an App Store and Google Play rating of 4.5 and 4.3 stars respectively, we have more than 1 million active users worldwide and our IoT platform has over 3 million connected Dyson machines. We have huge ambition to grow this platform and as we connect more machines from more categories the challenge is significant.
We are looking for a Lead Android Engineer to join our mobile team at Dyson. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who combines deep technical expertise with strong ownership and influence.
You will play a key role in shaping the architecture and technical direction of our Android platform, driving engineering excellence, and leading complex initiatives across teams. You are highly collaborative, thrive in ambiguity, and take pride in building scalable, maintainable systems while enabling others to do the same.
Our app has a modular architecture and is built using the MVVM pattern. Our codebase is primarily Kotlin, with an ongoing effort to migrate remaining Java components.
We leverage modern Jetpack libraries to accelerate development and reduce boilerplate, including Navigation Component for UI flows and WorkManager for background tasks.
For networking and APIs, we use Retrofit, AWS IoT SDK, and Gson, alongside Dagger for dependency injection. Given the asynchronous nature of our application, we make extensive use of Kotlin coroutines to model and manage event streams.
Our testing stack includes JUnit and Mockito for unit testing, and Espresso with Kakao for UI testing. We continuously evaluate and adopt tools and frameworks that improve developer productivity and code quality.
Dyson is an equal opportunity employer. We know that great minds don’t think alike, and it takes all kinds of minds to make our technology so unique. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and employment decisions are made without regard to race, colour, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, protected veteran status or other any other dimension of diversity.
Dyson solves real-world problems and creates better products through the application of engineering, science, design and creativity. It is a family-owned, global technology company, founded by Sir James Dyson who remains at the helm alongside his son Jake.
Since inventing the first cyclonic bagless vacuum cleaner, the DC01, Dyson has consistently invested in research and development to improve its products and technologies radically. Dyson offers products across a growing range of areas: floorcare, air purification, robotics, haircare including formulations, lighting, hand drying, and most recently audio. Dyson continues to expand into new areas.
Today, Dyson sells products in more than 80 markets, has 450 Dyson stores worldwide and is available in all major technology and beauty retailers. Dyson has global headquarters in Singapore and major technology campuses in Singapore, the UK, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Its global team of engineers, scientists and software developers are focused on developing technology-enabled products which work better and which people love to use. Key areas of focus have included high-speed electric digital motors, sensing and vision systems, robotics, machine learning and aerodynamics.
Beyond products, to encourage an inventive future, Dyson is also inspiring the next generation of engineers and inventors through the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology, the James Dyson Foundation and the James Dyson Award.
The Dyson family applies its problem-solving approach in other fields, and established Dyson Farming in 2012. It is one of the largest farming businesses in the UK, extending to 36,000 acres across Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Somerset. It is a family-owned enterprise unlike any other, focussed on long-term investment in British farming and the countryside to grow tasty and nutritious food.
