Who we are

A piece of the moon, a complete dinosaur skeleton, the Pope's hat, the world's smallest book - at Catawiki, we come across exceptional objects such as these every day. 

Catawiki is the leading online marketplace to buy and sell special objects. We offer over 75,000 special objects in auction every week — each reviewed and selected by one of Catawiki’s hundreds of in-house experts specialised in Art, Design, Jewellery, Fashion, Classic Cars, Collectables and many more.

We've sold 10 million unique items to date and it’s our mission to become the world’s most popular auction destination for special objects.

We’re an innovative, pioneering and fast-growing scale-up. If you think you can make a difference to our team, go ahead and apply.

How we work 

At Catawiki, we keep our users close to our hearts and make sure that we deliver a great user experience across all platforms. Android is no exception! As an Android developer working at Catawiki, you are empowered to take full ownership of the features we deliver and full ownership of how we structure our codebase.

We embrace change, we’ve migrated from MVC to MVP and then to MVVM. Currently, we are using Kotlin and enjoying all the cool advantages that come with it. We are constantly improving our architecture, which makes working at Catawiki fun and challenging at the same time.


What you’ll do   

Here at Catawiki, you will have a huge impact, working in a data-driven way to add value to the business along with the other 7 members of the Android team. You will add your own expertise to further grow our business, experiment, and innovate the product.

You’ll be adding new features to create an even greater experience for our users. As well as actively collaborating with your fellow Android developers to take the codebase and the entire Android App to the next level. Our millions of users will thank you for that!


How we roll - Our Stack 

Our codebase is primarily written in Kotlin and has minor traces of Java as we continue to adopt Kotlin for all new features and refactors. Our app uses MVVM as a general architecture, and we rely heavily on the reactive/functional paradigm using RxJava. We also make use of Android’s Architecture Components. We are using the most popular 3rd parties like Dagger 2, Retrofit, view binding, as well as Mockito and Espresso for testing.


What you’ll bring 

  • You are a passionate experienced Android Developer with a strong eye for detail.
  • You strive to be a great team player and don’t shy away from new challenges.
  • You are comfortable in a startup environment and are ready to jump in and help if needed.
  • You keep the company's values close to your heart and enjoy being in a diverse environment.

We expect you to have experience with:

  • Strong Object-oriented programming skills - priority
  • Strong knowledge of the Android framework
  • Proficient with Kotlin
  • Knowledge of the reactive/functional paradigm
  • Familiarity with MVVM architecture
  • Familiarity with consuming RESTful APIs
  • Unit testing

Next to this, it’s likely you’ll also have experience with RxJava, UI testing, and A/B testing
