Interim Android Developer

Our Team

We advocate for travel's positive impact on the world, guided by an engaging culture rooted in established company values. We empower our people to innovate and grow.

Our differences give us growth. Our diverse workforce originates from more than 50 countries, bringing together a depth of perspective and curiosity about the world. We encourage a culture of openness, curiosity, and flexibility—vital to deepening a shared understanding of our customers and each other.

We have a flexible hybrid model, working from our Utrecht HQ and our homes in the Netherlands.

Just as travel is about discovery, we're searching for the right people to join our team. Are you ready to inspire the world through travel?

We’re on the search for…

...an innovative Android developer with enthusiasm for creative solutions who excels in communication, thrives in collaborative environments, and keeps the customer at the forefront.

You will be responsible for strategic planning, decision-making, and team collaboration. You will also inspire our mobile development efforts, address technical issues, and support personal development.

This is an interim position with an expected duration of 6 months, at 32–40 hours per week.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll join our Mobile App Product Team, where you’ll work on the iOS apps for Eurail and DiscoverEU — the go-to travel companions for our customers exploring Europe by train. These apps help users plan and manage their journeys, access their tickets, and more — all in one place. Our goal is to make discovering Europe by train seamless and enjoyable.

You’ll be part of the Development & Design department, which brings together our mobile, frontend, backend, QA, and design teams — all working closely to deliver high-quality digital experiences.

You’ll be involved in:

• Developing mobile projects, ensuring that standards are met, and best practices are followed.
• Maintaining code quality standards and assisting in solving technical issues.
• Serving as a link between developers, QA and non-development teams (architects, business, designers etc.).
• Collaborating with PO, designers, and other developers to come up with user stories that encompass our customers’ needs.
• Collaborating frequently with others, making effective collaboration skills essential!

Our tech stack:

• We use REST and GraphQL APIs to connect to our backend systems
• We use GIT and Fastlane for CI/CD and we review each other’s code before merging
• We are using AWS CloudWatch, Crashlytics, and Analytics to monitor performance, track crashes, and gain insights into user behavior.
• We follow Agile methodologies and DevSecOps principles to ensure efficient and secure development processes
• We are exploring options for code sharing between platforms without going away from native development

Experience and Skills:

• You have a BSc in Computer Science or a related field
• You’ve been developing native Android apps and publishing to the Play Store for several years
• You are proficient in most of our tech stack and willing to learn the parts you are not familiar with
• You’re experienced with Android architectural patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture, etc.).
• You are familiar with Coroutines and Flows.
• You have knowledge of Material design guidelines and best practices.
• You have experience with connecting to backend systems and cloud infrastructure providers.
• You are proficient in Unit Testing, UI Testing, and Test-Driven Development (TDD).

• We'll ask you to share your resume in English (our business language) and tell us why you're interested in Eurail and this particular role. It doesn't hurt to be creative; we enjoy seeing your personality shine through.
• As part of the process, we may also ask you to complete a short assessment to showcase your skills.

If we think you might be a good candidate, the next step is a relatively informal interview with some of your potential new team members. For you, this is a chance to understand if Eurail is your ideal workplace, and for us, it tells us more about the value you would bring.
