As an Android Developer you make sure our mobile app becomes the best e-commerce app in Europe.

What you tell people at parties

I make sure Coolblue can go straight from your pocket to your fingertips.

What you really do

• Develop a brand new e-commerce application with a focus on customer amazement.
• Work together with team members to write Java code for Android.
• Research how cutting-edge developments in the Android landscape can be used to improve our app and development process.
• Evangelize your app mentality to your colleagues.

How you do it

• You prioritize your own work together with your team and Product Owner. You'll receive feedback directly from end-users and you'll have a lot of opportunities to experiment.
• You build and improve the quality of the Android code and ensure a maintainable architecture.
• You coach your team members and provide feedback.

Team

You'll become part of the mobile app team: an Agile, multidisciplinary team that currently consists of 7 members.. Each team member has his or her own speciality: from development to Digital Interaction design. Your team is supported by a Team Lead, Product Owner, and a Scrum Master. Together with your team, you'll work on the ultimate goal: creating the best retail app in Europe.

A day at the office

You work with Hindrik, mobile developer, on improving the code of the search controller. The code is a bit of a mess and you need to restructure it in order to add the scroll feature. Hindrik hasn't worked a lot with the MVVM pattern, so you can show him some options on how to implement it. Once you're done, it's already lunchtime. Wow, time sure flies!

After lunch, you talk to Marijn, Team Lead, about integrating the website's checkout system into the mobile app. He gives you a lot of useful information, so you immediately plan a meeting with the team to talk about different solutions.

At the end of the day, Fer, mobile developer, calls the team together to do a team check. He finished adding customer reviews to the product page. You observe and ask him some questions. Everybody is happy with the result; it looks nice and works smooth. Because its Friday, you all decide to go out and have a drink. Success should be celebrated!
