Vetted Kotlin developer in the United States (UTC-4)

I am an experienced iOS Software Engineer currently at Square, where I have spent the past year transitioning the Square Checkout flow from UIKit to SwiftUI and migrating the architecture to MVVM. Previously, I worked at Twitter, where I architected Custom Timelines, allowing users to subscribe to timelines dedicated to specific topics. I also founded Sixth Man, where we built a live-streaming app that allowed teams to watch high school sports in real time, think Twitch for sports, and raised $750k in venture capital. My earlier experience includes being part of the original UberEATS team at Uber, which shipped the app to the App Store in four months, and contributing to the UberRUSH project. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Michigan.

Vetted Kotlin developer in Canada (UTC-4)

I am a senior engineer with experience delivering and leading projects. I have hard skills to tackle both old code bases and designing new projects. I had the most growth at [Kolesa.kz](http://kolesa.kz/) because it demanded more responsibility. I had to completely step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself with delivering a complex project. My current project, Google Home app for Pixel Tablet, benefited a lot from my contributions. I'm the developer who adapted the app for the tablet. Google Home app has tablet screens because of my contributions. My co-workers would say I'm reliable and open to challenges.

Vetted Kotlin developer in the United States (UTC-7)

Even though my bachelor’s degree is in electrical engineering, my career has always been in software engineering, mostly owed to an early love of programming. I’ve enjoyed writing code and creating programs since I was in middle school, and that joy has propelled me in all my programming endeavors, from learning to program in RealBASIC and Scratch, to creating apps for the iPhone. Since becoming a software engineer full-time, I’ve worked with various frameworks and languages (jquery, django, Laravel, .NET, Ruby, Python, C#), released mobile apps (Swift, Java), worked in the backend (Java), and built numerous web applications (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP).

FAQs

Why hire a Kotlin developer?

In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.

Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a Kotlin developer, multiple engineers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote Kotlin developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

How do I hire Kotlin developers?

To hire a Kotlin developer, you need to go through a hiring process of defining your needs, posting a job description, screening resumes, conducting interviews, testing candidates’ skills, checking references, and making an offer.

Where do I hire the best remote Kotlin developers?

There are two types of platforms you can hire Kotlin developers from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find Kotlin developers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.

If you’re looking to hire the best remote Kotlin developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their Kotlin developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote Kotlin developers.

Some factors to consider when you hire Kotlin developers include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.

Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find Kotlin developers for hire.

How do I write a Kotlin developer job description?

Writing a good Kotlin developer job description is crucial in helping you hire Kotlin developers that your company needs. A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.

Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.

Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote Kotlin developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
