Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of Android experience, with a proven track record as a Senior Engineer
- Expert in Kotlin, modern Android frameworks (e.g., Jetpack Compose, Hilt/Dagger, Coroutines/Flow), and building production apps
- Strong understanding of architectural patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture, VIPER, etc.) and modular, maintainable code

- Experience with automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and app release processes
- Collaborative and communicative: can engage effectively with engineers, product managers, designers, and stakeholders
- Mentorship mindset: guide teammates, review code thoughtfully, and raise the bar for engineering quality
What the job involves
- We are the Marketplace team within Blacklane’s Chauffeur domain
- Our mission is to optimize how rides are distributed, ensuring chauffeurs get matched efficiently while delivering a seamless experience
- Drive development of the Chauffeur workforce app, focusing on marketplace features and continuous improvements
- Shape and evolve our Android architecture, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and high code quality
- Collaborate with Product, Design, and Backend to deliver iterative, high-impact features
- Define and enforce best practices in testing, CI/CD, and app release processes
- Mentor engineers, foster learning, and elevate the team’s technical standards
Our take
Business transport for frequent travellers can be a difficult process. The pain of booking systems, invoicing, and inconsistent service quality are issues travellers regularly face, hindering business operations and causing unnecessary delays. Alongside this, Chauffeurs also experience empty cars due to non-optimised booking processes.
Blacklane aims at the higher end of the market, targeting corporate workers, executives and those with the means to pay extra for higher levels of service when they travel. Through a booking system available on the company's website and in-app, Blacklane provides a reliable high-end service with inclusive pricing and on-call customer support. Blacklane also works with chauffeurs, filling empty seats to optimise services.
The company is also environmentally conscious, operating as a carbon-neutral company since 2017. It offers electric vehicle rides in more than 50 cities and countries, and with 2024 funding, is ready to expand even further. Alongside this, it has announced a number of recent partnerships, signifying the company's good place for future growth.
