Android Developer Contract Jobs in Chester, PA (NOW HIRING)

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking an Android Developer in Wilmington, DE.
Overview:
The mobile banking app that millions of customers touch every day is being rebuilt around a modern, modular Android architecture - not screens bolted onto a monolith, not a decade of accreted tech debt, but a scalable, testable, high-performance app engineered to move fast without breaking under load. This team is doing that work: designing and shipping the architecture that powers next-generation mobile experiences across the bank's consumer surface area. The stack is deliberate. Kotlin owns the app layer. Jetpack Compose drives the UI. Coroutines and Flow handle async and reactive state. A modularized Gradle build keeps feature teams moving independently. Kotlin Multiplatform is under evaluation for shared business logic. The work isn't picking libraries - it's making them perform at scale in a regulated production environment.
You will write code, design systems, debug production issues, and push into an app that real customers depend on to move real money. The patterns for a modular, Compose-first banking app at this scale are still being written; you will be the one who writes them down. You will work directly with product owners, mobile architects, and adjacent feature teams to take experiences from design mock to production on a one-year engagement that touches real customer volume from day one. This isn't a role where you prototype and hand off. The expectation is that you own the vertical - design decision to shipped artifact - and leave the codebase better than you found it.
If your idea of a great week is working through a gnarly state-management problem in Compose, landing a cold-start or frame-time win that shows up in the metrics, and shipping something real users see by Friday, this is the job.
REQUIREMENTS:
* 5+ years of software engineering experience shipping production mobile apps
* Deep, demonstrated Kotlin and Android SDK expertise
* Production experience with Jetpack Compose
* Strong grasp of Coroutines/Flow and modern Android architecture
* Experience with automated testing and CI/CD for Android
* Apps shipped to the Google Play Store at meaningful scale
Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience with modularized Gradle builds and multi-team codebases
* Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) experience
* Performance optimization with Baseline Profiles and Macrobenchmark
* Dependency injection experience (Hilt/Dagger)
* Experience in a regulated industry (financial services, healthcare, insurance) where compliance and auditability are engineering constraints, not afterthoughts
* Contributions to internal tooling, shared libraries, or design systems that other teams adopted
