As Germany’s largest provider of online lotteries through our brands LOTTO24 and Tipp24, and a trusted partner of Spain’s ONCE, the second-largest national lottery, we’re shaping the future of the lottery industry. We are passionate about driving innovation, as demonstrated by our newest brands, Freiheit+ and Traumhausverlosung, which bring fresh and exciting dreams to life. Additionally, through ZEAL Ventures, we invest in inspiring e-commerce start-ups like Omaze and DAYMADE, fueling fresh ideas and opportunities.

At ZEAL, we empower our people to think ambitiously and work together toward a shared purpose: helping people imagine and achieve their aspirations.
THE ROLE
As our Android Developer, you will join one of our cross-functional domain teams and help shape the future of our digital lottery experiences across platforms.
You will play a key role in evolving our Android app, by implementing cutting-edge features with Jetpack Compose, and creating accessible experience that millions of customers trust.
At the same time, our domain teams take end-to-end ownership of the customer experience across Android, iOS, and web. We believe great developers are curious beyond the boundaries of a single platform. You’ll therefore have the opportunity and willingness to contribute to our Angular/TypeScript based webshop and Swift based iOS app, collaborating closely with engineers across technologies to deliver the best solution for our customers.
YOUR TASKS
- Develop and maintain 5-star Android applications that are high-quality, efficient, scalable, and accessible.
- Take ownership of the Android development lifecycle, including planning, implementation, testing, release, and monitoring.
- Work as part of a holistic domain team that owns customer experiences across web, Android, and iOS, collaborating closely with engineers across all three platforms as well as backend developers.
- Contribute beyond Android when needed, particularly to our Angular/TypeScript-based webshop, and be open to learning and working across our frontend technology stack.
- Collaborate on technical solutions at a domain level rather than optimizing for a single platform, helping create consistent and seamless customer experiences.
- Manage Android app releases and monitor performance through Firebase, ensuring excellent quality, responsiveness, and reliability.
- Stay ahead of developments in the Android ecosystem and bring relevant technologies, patterns, and ideas into the team.
- Share your Android expertise with the wider team through code reviews, technical guidance, pair programming, and strong engineering practices.
- Learn from colleagues with expertise in web, iOS, and backend development and actively contribute to a culture of shared ownership and knowledge exchange.
WHAT YOU OFFER US:
- You are an experienced Android Developer who enjoys working in a cross-functional environment and wants to take ownership of products beyond the boundaries of a single platform.
- You bring at least 3 years of hands-on experience with Kotlin, the Android SDK, and widely used Jetpack libraries.

- You demonstrate expertise in structuring code using established design patterns and architectural approaches such as Clean Architecture and MVVM.
- You are proficient in writing testable code as well as Unit, Integration, and UI tests.

- You are familiar with modern development and CI/CD pipelines and tools, including GitHub Actions.
- You bring a strong analytical mindset with advanced debugging and problem-solving abilities.
- You have a solid understanding of best-practice UX principles and a keen eye for design details, including UI placement, layouts, and interaction patterns.
- You are curious about technologies outside the Android ecosystem and are comfortable contributing to web development with TypeScript and Angular. Previous professional experience with these technologies is a plus, but a willingness to learn and contribute is essential.
- You enjoy sharing your expertise while also learning from engineers specializing in other platforms and technologies.
- You have good verbal and written communication skills in English. Proficiency in German or a willingness to learn the language is a plus.
