Java is the primary language for the development, whereas Kotlin is a recent option. Knowledge of both languages enables committed programmers to work with existing codebases and use the most recent mobile application development frameworks, guaranteeing that they can produce clean, efficient, and maintainable code.

The developer should have prior expertise in developing unit tests using frameworks such as JUnit and Espresso, as well as doing both unit and user interface testing. They should also be able to use debugging tools like Android Studio’s debugger and logcat to rapidly detect and address bugs. Familiarity with automated testing technologies such as Robolectric and Mockito is beneficial.

Performance optimization abilities are required since applications must be optimized for memory management, multithreading, and network consumption to deliver a seamless user experience. Developers should use profiling tools like Profiler and Systrace to identify performance bottlenecks and improve app responsiveness, UI rendering, and battery consumption.

Consider the project scope, required technologies, timeframe, and the local talent pool’s availability. Additionally, understanding the cultural and business environment in South-Africa is essential for effective collaboration and integration into your team. It’s also important to familiarize yourself with local labor laws and visa regulations to ensure compliance and a smooth hiring process.

Proactive communication, resolving ambiguity, precise task estimation, and setting realistic timelines are prioritized. Additionally, strong written and verbal communication skills are crucial to ensure clear and effective collaboration across different time zones. The ability to provide regular updates and feedback also plays a significant role in maintaining project alignment and meeting deadlines.

There are two types of platforms where you can hire dedicated Android Engineers from general or niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents. While you can find developers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces to escape bidding wars. If you’re looking to hire the top 1% of remote developers, consider niche platforms like SuntechIT Global that naturally attract and carefully vet their developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable mobile app developer candidates.

Depending on availability and how quickly you progress, you could start working with a developer or a dedicated mobile application development team within 48 hours of signing up. If the expected talent is not available in our pre-vetted database, don’t worry. We will start the vetting process and arrange new vetted programmers for you within 2 to 3 weeks, according to your exact requirements. Please watch our process video at the top of this main page.

Choose your ideal Silicon Valley-quality developer or dedicated mobile application development team and start working with them, possibly on the same day. We align them with tasks from your current or upcoming projects for a 2-week trial period. Enjoy a two-week trial to directly assess the developer’s fit with your needs. With a 92% success rate, if you’re satisfied after the trial, you can officially bring them on board. If not, there’s no cost to you, ensuring our commitment to a risk-free process.
