Android Developer

HireSetu's note

Lead your CV with shipped apps

Two things decide the shortlist: a year or more of hands-on Android work, and code you can talk through. Pick your stronger language, Java or Kotlin, and put the apps you actually built at the top. A Play Store link with real installs and a few reviews says more than a long framework list.

Under that, name what you touched: Android Studio and the SDK, the architecture you worked in, MVVM or MVI or plain MVC, and how you handled state and background work. Bug fixing and performance sit in the requirements, so keep one story ready about a crash you chased down or a screen you sped up. Numbers give it weight: cold start time, memory use, ANR reports.

The qualification line is narrow: BE, BTech, MCA, MSc or MTech in CSE or IT. If your degree isn't one of those, put your strongest project work in the first third of the page so it's read before the education section.

Solo work, and what it sets up

Writing quality code independently is spelled out, which reads like a small setup where you get a feature or an app and run with it. Fine if you like that. Hard if your only experience came inside a large team's existing structure.

Their application form asks for expected monthly salary and current location before you've spoken to anyone, and the experience dropdown starts at Fresher even though the requirement reads 1+ years. Settle your number and your notice period before you open the form.

A year or two of this gives you a portfolio of released apps, Play Console releases, crash analytics and store updates. That's the material product companies in Bangalore and Pune screen for, and it's the part of this job that keeps paying after you leave it.
