A few words about us.
As a part of Axel Springer News, Media and Tech, our team is responsible for building and maintaining WELT News Android application. The app is 5 years on the market and has thousands of daily users.
Every developer participates not only in development, but also in technical specification of features.
We follow server-driven UI approach, and our app-specific backend is also built within the team. Backend for us is not some external API we integrate – it's an extension of our client and it is where our business logic is. Everybody on the team contributes to the backend code.
We are Kotlin-first, started with Kotlin before v1.0, sharing the code between backend and client.
App is refactored regularly to follow modern practices, architecture evolved over time from MVP to MVVM to MVI and uses our custom-built widget engine. We follow SOLID principles and Clean code. We write unit and UI tests for every feature we build, running everything on CI.
Our code belongs to the whole team. Tech stack includes: Kotlin, Javascript, Spring-boot, Grafana, AWS, Docker, Dagger2, Coroutines, RxJava, Espresso
