What our Android
engineers actually ship.

Every Android engineer on the bench has shipped at least 3 production apps to the Play Store. Kotlin since 2018, Compose since beta. No Java-only candidates dressed up as seniors.
  • Kotlin first.Coroutines, Flow, sealed classes, multiplatform-ready code.
  • Jetpack Compose.Declarative UI, custom layouts, animation APIs, perf-tuned.
  • MVI / MVVM patterns.Predictable state, testable logic, no god-activities.
  • Modular architecture.Multi-module Gradle, feature modules, build-time slashing.
  • Play Store delivery.Bundles, dynamic delivery, in-app updates, store-listing experiments.
  • Offline-first.Room, WorkManager, sync conflict resolution.
  • Payments + auth.Google Pay, Play Billing, biometrics, OAuth + SSO providers.
  • Performance budgets.Startup, jank-free 120Hz, baseline profiles, perfetto.

Why us

What you get
that recruiters miss.

We're an engineering studio, not a body shop. Every engineer on the bench has shipped real production code on a real iTechNotion client project. They eat our own cooking.
  • Senior-only roster.5+ yrs minimum. No bait-and-switch with juniors mid-project.
  • AI-fluent by default.Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code daily. They ship faster + cleaner.
  • Embedded into your team.Slack, Linear, your repos, your standup. FTE-grade integration.
  • 8-hour US/UK overlap.Real-time pairing, code review, decisions in the same window.
  • Free 2-week replacement.Wrong fit? We swap. No friction. No charge.
  • No agency markup.Direct rates. You pay for the engineer, not the layer above.
  • Background-checked.NDA, IP assignment, GDPR DPA, SOC 2 (in progress) signed before kickoff.
  • Quarterly delivery review.We grade ourselves. You get the report. Anything red, we fix.
From a customer who hired through iTechNotion
★★★★★
“We had a 4-year-old Java Android codebase that nobody wanted to touch. iTechNotion's senior engineer rebuilt the core modules in Kotlin + Compose, ran the team for two quarters, and shipped a redesigned app with 38% better startup time. Saved us from a full rewrite quote we got from someone else.

Common questions

Hiring a Android
engineer, real questions.

Most-asked questions from founders, CTOs and engineering managers. If yours isn't here, ask [email protected] — we reply within one business day.
Do you only know Kotlin, or can you maintain legacy Java?+

Both. 80% of our active engagements use Kotlin. We've also taken on Java-only legacy apps and incrementally migrated them. We don't refuse work because it's old; we scope a migration plan if the codebase is hostile.

Can your engineers handle Play Store reviews + policy issues?+

Yes. Bench engineers have collectively published 200+ apps. We know the reviewer playbooks, common policy traps (data-handling disclosures, restricted permissions), and which lawyer-friendly wording unlocks faster approval.

Can your engineers work in my time zone?+

Yes. All bench engineers commit to at least 4 hours overlap with your team. Most pick US East / UK / EU schedules. For West Coast US, we have engineers on a late shift earning a 15% overlap bonus. Dubai-based engineers cover Europe + EMEA naturally.

What if the engineer is not a fit?+

Free replacement inside the first 2 weeks. No reason needed. We re-shortlist from the bench within 48 hours and start the next engineer within a week. We track fit-failure rate publicly — it's 6% over the last 4 quarters.

Will the engineer own my code?+

No. We sign IP assignment before any code is written. You own every line. Engineers carry skills and learnings forward, not your code or your designs. Standard MSA + DPA available on request.

Can I hire the engineer directly after a few months?+

Yes — that's our Build-Operate-Transfer model. Pre-negotiated transfer fee, paid once after 18+ months. No surprise ‘you stole our person’ lawyer letters.

What if my project needs more than one engineer?+

We routinely staff teams of 3-8 engineers + lead + QA. Same hiring process, three CVs per role. Average time to fully-staffed team: 3 weeks.
