How to become an Android/Java developer ?

The mobile market is constantly growing. We all know that the mobile market is dominated by android in many countries. As per the latest reports, android has over 85% share in countries like India, Brazil, Iran, Turkey and many more. Although many programming languages are used for mobile application development, Java is the most popular one. Java was introduced in 1995 and is used for many purposes like mobile application development, web application, application servers and game development.

Therefore, we need java for android application development. Android is an open-source operating system and is used in mobile phones, tablets, etc. Android has a huge market. According to the data, it has approximately 3.48 million apps on Google Play, the app store which further boosts its popularity.

What is the scope in Android/Java development?

Android has over 2.5 billion users in over 190 countries making it the most popular operating system in the world. Therefore the demand for android/ java development is at an all-time high. But what makes Java so unique is that it is required for android app development. Let's look at the features of Java that make it so important.

  • Excellent programming tools: Java offers various powerful tools that make the language much easier for app developers to build an app that meets their needs. This not only helps you in coding but also assists it for debugging important for real-time applications.
  • Independent platform: Java is independent of the platform and preferred by developers in building android applications. Other developing languages have this limitation, and that’s what makes them popular among the developer community.
  • Easy to learn:Java is free, and you don’t need to spend loads of money to get started. With regular practice and knowledge, you can learn the language and make a career out of it.
  • Builds secure mobile applications: Security is one of the most important parts of any application. Everything- compiler, interpreter, and runtime environment has been developed in java to keep it secure for the users.

Looking to know more about android/Java development? Then this article is for you.

What are the roles and responsibilities of Android/Java developers?

Android developers are accountable for the development of mobile applications for android devices. The primary focus of an android/ java developer's job is to look after the development of applications and their interaction. You will have to work closely with other developers and engineers for various tasks.

Along with the above, there are other tasks that an Android/Java developer needs to perform daily. These include:

  • Writing clear and concise code in Java for Android applications
  • Analysing the performance of current live applications and optimize them (if required)
  • Closely monitoring the apps, removing bugs, enhancing performance.
  • Closely working with different teams to build new applications with attractive features
  • Staying updated with new trends in the mobile technology domain.
  • Should know how to connect Android applications to back-end services with the help of RESTful APIs
  • Keen understanding of Android UI design principles

How to become an Android/Java developer?

If you want to become an android/ Java developer, you need to have knowledge, consistent practice and hard work. The basic path is to lay a foundation by getting a bachelor’s degree in computer science and climb all the way up to become an android/ java developer. Plus, knowledge about APIs and android SDKs can help you get an amazing job opportunity.

With the knowledge and hands-on experience of Java programming language and regular practice help to develop a good grasp of the language and help you reap the benefits. You can opt for coding challenges to further polish your technical skills. A kick-ass portfolio is a must for a developer while looking for a job.

Now, let’s dive further into the skills you need to master to become a proficient android/ Java developer:

Skills required to become an Android/Java developer

The first step to building your career as a successful Android/Java developer is to know about the essential skills required to become one. Let’s have a look at what skills you need to know in order to become an Android/Java developer!

1. JAVA

Java is the foundation of android development. It is an object-oriented language (OOPS). For developers who use other languages to create applications, there will be a learning curve while learning java for them as well. All the codes should be clear and perform functions efficiently, and that’s what Java ensures.

2. XML

To encode data in internet-based applications, XML is used. Being a structured markup language, it shares many features with HTML. It enables the quick and fast exchange of information between devices in an easy to understand manner. XML is used by developers to create layouts that serve as a foundational UI definition for Android applications. So developers need to have a basic understanding of XML.

3. ANDROID SDK

Software Development Kit or SDK, are modules that let developers access functions like a camera. Suppose you want to integrate Facebook (any social media platform) with your app, you do it with the help of the library. i.e Gradle. All you have to do is download the code from Facebook and tell Gradle you’re using it. Whenever the application complies the code stays in place. Many other examples make it easier to use and plug in your app.

4. APIS

As a developer, you have to keep in mind that your users might need a third-party service for some features. That’s what APIs are for. APIs tell you how you can query your data in a secured way. You can either connect with any existing APIs or connect to your own from your app.

5. Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

Android studio is the most preferred IDE among android mobile app developers. It offers you many SDK support features and provides auto-complete suggestions when one types the code. If you’re looking to land a good opportunity, we suggest you have a basic understanding of IDE.

Senior Full-Stack Developer (Python)

About the Client


We are a fast-growing Managed Service Provider (MSP) serving complex, high-demand environments. We’re investing heavily in  automation, reporting, and internal products to:

· Eliminate repetitive manual work

· Give leadership accurate, real-time visibility through data and dashboards

· Build internal platforms that become core to how we operate and scale

You won’t be “just a developer.” You’ll be a partner in designing how the business works.


About the Role


We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer (Python-first)  with a consultant mentality—someone who can sit with stakeholders,  understand the business problem, challenge assumptions, design a solution, and then actually build it.

You’ll sit in our DevOps /  Internal Products team and focus on automation, data pipelines, and internal applications that make our teams and clients more effective.  You’ll act as an internal consultant + builder: framing problems,  proposing options, and delivering working solutions.


If you  enjoy asking “why,” mapping out the real need, and then shipping tools  and automations that create measurable impact, this role is for you.


Responsibilities


  • You will take business problems from idea → design → implementation → iteration

    1. 1. Internal Applications & Tools
  • · Design and build internal apps that improve client management, service delivery, and operations/back-office workflows.
  • · Implement back-end services (primarily in Python) and practical front-end experiences.
  • · Integrate multiple systems (internal tools, third-party SaaS, line-of-business apps).

    2. 2. Data Pipelines & Reporting
  • · Build and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest, transform, and model data from multiple systems.
  • · Design data models that support reporting and analytics for leadership, account management, and finance.
  • · Work closely with BI/reporting tools (e.g. Power BI or similar) to ensure data is accurate, documented, and usable.

    3. 3. Automation & Workflow Optimization
  • · Identify repetitive, error-prone processes and own their automation end-to-end.
  • · Connect APIs, data sources, and internal tools to reduce manual effort and errors.
  • · Track and communicate the impact of your work (time saved, errors reduced, faster cycles, etc.).

    4. 4. Consultative Stakeholder Collaboration
  • · Act as an internal consultant to operations, finance, service, and leadership.
  • · Ask probing questions to clarify goals, constraints, and tradeoffs before jumping into code.
  • · Translate business pain points into clear technical options (“Option A vs B vs C”) and help stakeholders choose.
  • · Push back thoughtfully when a proposed solution isn’t optimal, and recommend simpler or higher-impact alternatives.
  • · Communicate progress, risks, and impact in clear, non-technical language.

    5. 5. Architecture & Technical Direction
  • · Contribute to patterns, standards, and best practices for internal tools and automation.
  • · Help make decisions on tech stack, structure, and long-term maintainability.
  • · Participate in code reviews and mentoring for other developers where appropriate.

Qualifications


  • Strong professional experience with Python (services, scripts, automation, data processing).
  • Strong SQL skills and experience with data modeling, ETL/ELT, and working with structured data.
  • Experience building APIs, back-end services, or internal tools that support real users.
  • Hands-on experience integrating with RESTful APIs and third-party platforms.
  • Familiarity with Git and modern development workflows.
  • Consultant Mindset & Ways of Working (Must-Have)
    · You think and act like a consultant, not an order-taker.
    · Comfortable sitting with non-technical stakeholders, understanding their world, and reframing the problem.
    · Regularly ask, “What are we really trying to achieve?” before deciding how to build.
    · Can explain technical options in plain business language, including tradeoffs (time, risk, complexity, impact).
    · Strong ownership mindset—you don’t just design the solution, you drive it through to done.
    · Measure success in business outcomes (time saved, fewer errors, better visibility), not just completed tickets.


Offer Details

  • Full-time contractor or full-time employment, depending on the country
  • Remote only, full-time dedication (40 hours/week)
  • 6 hours of overlap with Pacific Timezone
  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
  • Dynamic and inclusive work environment focused on innovation and teamwork
