Hi, I’m Manuele Maggi, Engineering Manager at Motorway. I’m looking for an Android Engineer to join our Mobile Engineering group and help us build a best-in-class experience for our Sellers.
This is a great opportunity to join a talented and supportive team, working alongside engineers, product managers and designers to fundamentally change the way people sell their car. You’ll contribute to meaningful features used by customers across the UK, develop your technical skills and explore the latest tools and technologies—with AI increasingly embedded in how we build and work.

Participating in code reviews and technical discussions, learning from others while sharing your own ideas.
Paying close attention to UI detail, accessibility and the overall app experience.
Building an understanding of the backend systems and APIs that power our app.
Monitoring released features and helping to resolve issues when they arise.
Contributing to the engineering standards and practices used across the Mobile Engineering group.

You’re comfortable owning features while asking for support when needed.
You care about building polished, reliable and accessible mobile experiences.
You’re interested in using modern technologies, including AI, to improve products and engineering workflows.
