Job Description
Touchlab has been at the forefront of Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) since the first Kotlin code ran on an iPhone.
The ecosystem has come a long way, and we are proud of our contributions, but there are still opportunities to grow and improve the KMP community. We plan to keep introducing new teams to KMP and developing new tools and techniques to help them succeed. With the growth of the Kotlin Multiplatform community, we know there are talented KMP developers out there. We look forward to sharing knowledge and amplifying our impact on the industry together. Come join our other team members in Brazil!
@faogustavo works with us and has offered to answer any general questions about Touchlab in the AndroidDevBr Slack Group.

About the Role
Because both startups and the largest public companies seek us out to help them build their mobile products, our team members get the opportunity to work on a variety of interesting projects as well as contribute to our open-source endeavors. This is a fully remote position with the ability to work anywhere in Brazil.
As a Kotlin Multiplatform Developer at Touchlab, you’ll be:
- Advising clients on KMP best practices and architecture
- Building quality applications based on KMP technology
- Experimenting, learning, and coaching others in Multiplatform strategies
- A core contributor to open source and internal products
- Performing peer code reviews and helping us all get better
- Improving our process in regular retrospectives
What we are looking for
We are looking for developers with significant Kotlin Multiplatform experience. The community is still relatively new, so we expect everybody’s path to be a little different. Be sure to include what you’ve been working on professionally or “on the side,” maybe a little bit about what you’d like to do and/or where you see the future of Kotlin.
Below is some of the experience we would expect to see from a successful candidate:
- 3+ years of professional native mobile (Android or iOS) development experience or demonstrable equivalent skills
- Strong understanding of Kotlin language features and ecosystem
- Experience writing and deploying Kotlin Multiplatform shared code targeting both Android and iOS applications
- Functional ability to configure and debug Kotlin/Native and/or Xcode tooling and builds (you know a linker issue vs a compiler issue, understand how to sort out a compiler crash, etc)
- The ability to work at least 5 hours of the workday that crosses over with EST.
- Advanced English
Not required, but we’re particularly interested in people with:
- Experience in a client-facing role
- KMP Library development and publishing experience
- Significant native iOS development experience
- Familiarity with non-mobile KMP targets (js, native)
- Blog posts/talks on KMP topics
- Filed issues with core Kotlin or libraries
Please submit your resume in English.
What We Offer
This role is a full-time contractor position with a consistent workload, expected to work 40 hours per week. Our compensation reflects the regional cost of labor where hired. Actual compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to demonstrated skill set and years and depth of relevant experience.
In addition to competitive, fair compensation, Touchlab provides a generous vacation policy, plus localized company holidays. We also offer the team budget for learning and development.
Our entire team is remote! We get together for virtual team events (and occasionally in person!), regular lunches, and team socializing. It’s a big plus if your dog can make an appearance on Zoom (we don’t discriminate against cats, either).
Hiring Practices
- PJ
- As in all our work, we believe hiring is a collaborative process. Hiring doesn’t come down to the decision of just one person, multiple members of our team will evaluate each candidate.
- Your time is as valuable as ours. We’ll keep the interview process as streamlined as possible and make sure you speak with multiple team members in a timely fashion; it helps you get to know us quicker, and vice versa.
- We focus on practical topics during the interview process. We want to hear how you’ve worked on a software team and your knowledge to solve common mobile problems.
- Our typical interview stages: A technical screening where we ask you to complete an exercise. Next is the introductory phone interview, followed by long-form interviews with rotating members of our team. Finally, we collect feedback internally and notify applicants whether or not an offer will be made. Of course, this can vary based on the position and level and we’ll communicate that at the start of the process.
Who We Are
We are a growing team of people with diverse backgrounds in different industries. Our team members are great at what they do. That doesn’t mean everyone shows up with a crazy Stack Overflow score, but it does mean we’re hungry to learn and support each other in growing our knowledge and skills. We work collaboratively and believe we can help shape the future of mobile through Kotlin Multiplatform.
For the last decade, Touchlab has been at the forefront of mobile product development. Today, that means helping our clients build products in a world where mobile platforms have matured. Our team members get the opportunity to work on a variety of interesting projects as well as contribute to our open-source endeavors. We train and advise on mobile best practices, develop apps for all platforms, and as the recognized global experts in Kotlin Multiplatform, we have been both a JetBrains and Google-certified agency.
