Mobile Software Engineer (ClimateTech)

You'll be the driving force behind our mobile engineering, shipping new features and updates across our consumer and client-facing apps. Day to day, this means:

• Developing and maintaining our mobile applications, including our point-of-sale client app (Kotlin)
• Completing the migration of our separate iOS and Android apps into a unified KMP codebase - you'll have real ownership of this from day one
• Building a lightweight web app integrated with Apple and Google Wallets as part of our container tracking solution
• Contributing to backend work in PHP/Laravel when needed - you won't be expected to be a backend specialist, but you should be comfortable exploring the codebase
• Occasionally supporting our smart bin hardware software (Linux SBCs running Python) when the need arises
This is a broad, hands-on role - ideal if you like variety and want to see your work in the real world quickly.

We're looking for someone with roughly 1-2 years of professional mobile engineering experience. We care far more about what you've shipped and how you work than years on a CV. You might be a strong Android engineer ready to own a multiplatform codebase, or someone who's already hands-on with KMP and wants more ownership. Either way, you're someone who takes pride in clean, production-quality code - and wants the work to mean something. You'll need:
• Production-level Kotlin skills
• Solid native Android development experience
• Working knowledge of (or genuine enthusiasm for) Kotlin Multiplatform - you should be comfortable picking up an in-progress migration and running with it
• Comfort working across Android and iOS targets - deep Swift/UIKit expertise isn't required, but you'll need to work with KMP-generated iOS frameworks and handle basic Xcode/SwiftUI integration
• REST API integration experience
These would make you stand out:
• PHP/Laravel familiarity - even read-and-modify level
• Any web development experience (HTML/CSS/JS or lightweight frameworks)
• Exposure to Apple Wallet / Google Wallet integrations or QR-based flows
• Python familiarity, for occasional crossover with our smart bin codebase
• CI/CD experience (e.g. GitHub Actions)
• Experience with payment SDKs or Stripe
• A background in hospitality, food service, sustainability, or IoT - not required, but a genuine plus
Note on KMP: it's still a specialist skill. If you're a strong Kotlin/Android engineer who's actively working towards KMP and can show real enthusiasm for it, we want to hear from you.

At Cauli, we're tackling one of the UK's most stubborn environmental problems: the 10.7 billion items of packaging waste generated every year - less than 9% of which is actually recycled. We're not tweaking the system. We're replacing it. Applying IoT and AI-driven technology in reuse, we've already prevented over a million pieces of single-use waste. Now we're scaling - and we need a mobile engineer who wants to help build the infrastructure that makes reuse as easy as throwaway.Why Join Cauli?

You'll work directly with our Head of Technology, with real ownership over meaningful parts of our product - not tickets in a backlog.
