Job Description

Having a new house is great. Getting a new house isn’t. It's a big life moment and can be complicated and scary for all of us.

That's why we’re on a mission to remove risk so people can move fearlessly. We use tech, design and data to make dealing with clients secure and friction-free for lawyers and professional services across the property sector.

Since our co-founders, Jack and Olly, founded Thirdfort in 2017, we’ve grown from a single London office to an amazing, international team of over 90 with team members also in Manchester and Sri Lanka. We are backed by big-hitting investors, including Alex Chesterman (Founder of Zoopla and Cazoo), leading law firm Mishcon de Reya and HM Land Registry. We already work with over 550 property and legal businesses to help streamline their processes and keep security top of mind, and we're growing. We're serious and we're ambitious. Come join us.

The Role:

We are looking for an experienced Android Engineer to join our growing engineering team. This is a really exciting opportunity for someone to take complete ownership of our App and drive change.

Over the next few months, this will include:

  • Redesigning and optimising our app - we’re constantly looking to improve and develop to ensure we’re going above and beyond. Our app receives a high volume of users and downloads, so it’s crucial this individual is comfortable with their changes having a large impact on our customers.
  • A strong focus on accessibility - we want our app to be easily accessible to everyone.
  • Creating new and exciting features!

We’re looking for someone to be mainly based in our London office (when the Covid situation improves), as we want you to be part of all the conversations within the team. However we offer very flexible hours and regular working from home opportunities.

Our Tech stack:

We have native iOS & Android Mobile Apps which are the key consumer facing interface. Our Android Stack is: Kotlin, Firebase, Retrofit - We will also be using Compose very soon.

The FlexScore® is the result of a rigorous 2-step verification of a company’s flexibility

First we assess the flexibility options Thirdfort provides and then we anonymously survey a statistically significant proportion of their employees to make sure Thirdfort is as flexible as they say they are. Our assessment is based on the six key elements of flexibility: location, hours, autonomy, benefits, role modelling and work-life balance.

We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to.
