How fast can you recommend an Android Developer?

Within 7 days of the kick-off we present one recommended candidate, plus two qualified alternatives. You run your own interviews and make the final call.

Will they work U.S. hours and speak English?

Yes. We hire in Latin America for time zone overlap with U.S. teams, and every candidate is assessed on advanced English as well as skills, experience and how they work with others.

Native Android or a cross-platform developer?

Native Kotlin is the right choice when performance, device features or a polished Android feel matter most. If you need one codebase for both platforms, we can also look for React Native or Flutter experience. We define this together in the kick-off.
