Android Developer to SVT Play – Help Shape the Future of Public Service Streaming

Arbetsuppgifter

Welcome to SVT Play and our Android Client Team! Here, you’ll join a kind and curious group of people working with new tech in a creative and learning environment to create one of Sweden’s most loved streaming services. Together, we build and improve the SVT Play app for diffrent devices – reaching millions of users every week.

What we offer
SVT Play is Sweden’s leading video service. As part of public service, we have a unique mission: to serve everyone in Sweden with high-quality, accessible, and engaging content. Our users are at the heart of everything we do, and we take pride in building apps that are stable, secure, and delightful to use.

We believe in:

• Collaboration and inclusive teams where everyone’s voice and ideas matters
• Autonomy, trust and high level of ownership, with freedom to choose tools and ways of working
• Continuous learning and innovation, through everyday work, hack days, tech sprints, and knowledge sharing
• Sustainable solutions, with a long-term mindset and a healthy work-life balance

We are a friendly organisation and no day is like the other, making everyday work eventful.

Who we think you are
You’re someone who enjoys working collaboratively and values open communication. You’re curious, pragmatic, and comfortable navigating challenges in a team that embraces experimentation and agile ways of working. Sharing knowledge comes naturally to you, and you’re always open to learning something new.

You likely have a few years of experience in Android development, and feel comfortable working with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. You’ve built native Android apps and are familiar with modern development practices.

If you’ve also worked with Android TV, Google’s ecosystem (like Cast or Nest), accessibility and inclusive design, or video streaming that’s a great bonus, but not a requirement.

We know that no one ticks every box, and that’s okay. What matters most to us is your mindset, your willingness to grow, and your passion for technology.

About the Role
As an Android Developer at SVT Play, you’ll work with native Android development to improve and evolve our app across phones, tablets, TVs and other devices. You’ll collaborate closely with developers, designers, analysts, and testers across multiple teams – all working together to deliver a world-class user experience.

You’ll be part of the Android Client Team, a sub-team within the larger SVT Play Client Team, which also includes platforms like Web, Smart TV, and Apple apps.

We use modern development practices, including:

• Pair and mob programming
• Agile workflows with team-owned processes
• A strong focus on accessibility, performance, and user experience

You’ll be based at our newly renovated office in the iconic TV building at Gärdet in Stockholm. We work both remotely and on-site, but for this role, we see value in spending most of the week together in person.

We’re a friendly and humble bunch who care deeply about our users, our craft, and each other. Learn more about how we work on https://svti.svt.se.
