Our client is a leading technology provider in the retail industry, delivering modern point-of-sale and store operations solutions to retailers across multiple markets. As part of an ongoing platform modernization initiative, they are evolving their client architecture away from a legacy Java 8 Swing-based POS client toward a modular, offline-first, multi-platform model — supporting stationary POS terminals, self-checkout kiosks, and self-scanning devices across diverse retail environments.
The shared business logic layer is built with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), targeting both JVM/Desktop and Android clients. This layer is the heart of the platform: it owns the domain rules, use cases, and data flows for critical retail operations — item registration, checkout, payment, customer management, and promotion handling — while remaining fully decoupled from platform-specific concerns and UI. Business continuity through offline operation, high testability, and performance under real retail conditions are non-negotiable priorities.
Responsibilities:
Architecture ownership: Define clean repository, service, facade, DTO, and bridge contracts between Kotlin, platform-specific code, and the VueJS/TypeScript UI layer.
Technical delivery: Design, implement, and maintain shared KMP modules for POS business capabilities, ensuring code is high-quality, maintainable, and performant across JVM/Desktop and Android targets.
Platform integration: Implement platform-specific code for desktop and Android targets using expect/actual patterns, without leaking platform concerns into shared business logic.
Offline-first delivery: Build offline-capable flows with local persistence, caching, synchronization readiness, and explicit failure handling.
Code quality: Write clean, well-structured code, participate in reviews, and improve existing modules through refactoring where needed.
Testing: Write automated tests for domain rules, use cases, repositories, bridge contracts, and coroutine-based flows.
Collaboration: Work closely with frontend engineers, QA, product owners, and architects to align on contracts, requirements, and feature delivery.
Knowledge sharing: Support teammates by sharing knowledge and mentoring less experienced Kotlin developers when appropriate.
Team alignment: Respect team agreements and processes, while providing regular updates on progress, trade-offs, and technical decisions.
Qualifications:
Must Have
8+ years of experience with Kotlin, including architecture decision making with KMP at platform scale, not only within individual applications or domain layers
Strong system-level Android experience (not just application-level)
Strong hands-on KMP delivery to at least two targets (preferably Android and JVM/Desktop) and KMP-Swift/iOS interoperability knowledge (XCFramework, expect/actual patterns, Flow bridging - a successful candidate will have to take cross-platform decisions that iOS developers can work with)
Java-to-Kotlin/KMP migration at platform scale
Architectural leadership and vision — the candidate must be comfortable stepping into ambiguity and proposing concrete answers
Modular product architecture with customer-specific extension points - experience designing multi-tenant or multi-customer product platforms is essential
Knowledge transfer and mentoring — must be able to train engineers in modern KMP patterns and architectural thinking
Senior stakeholder communication — will interact with technical leadership; must articulate trade-offs clearly and build confidence in the approach
Solid understanding of Clean Architecture: domain, use-case, infrastructure, and platform layers with dependency inversion and repository abstractions
Practical experience with Kotlin Coroutines and Flow: structured concurrency, suspend APIs, Flow-based state and events, cancellation, and error propagation
Experience with offline-first or local-first client architecture: local persistence, caching, synchronization concepts, and conflict handling
Familiarity with dependency injection patterns, preferably Koin: constructor injection, module composition, and test overrides
Strong testing discipline: unit and integration tests using Kotlin Test or equivalent, test doubles, and coroutine testing utilities
Experience integrating REST/OpenAPI-style services: typed DTO mapping, serialization, and resilient client-side communication
Comfortable with Gradle Kotlin DSL, modular builds, and CI-friendly project structures
Effective communication skills for collaboration with frontend developers, QA, and product stakeholders
Nice to Have
Compose Multiplatform experience
POS / retail embedded systems (checkout, payment terminals, scale integration, ESL), direct domain experience being a differentiator
Desktop JVM client experience, especially Electron sidecar or local service integration patterns
Understanding of VueJS 3 and TypeScript to collaborate effectively on Kotlin-to-UI bridge contract design
Experience with plugin or extensibility architecture: extension points, lifecycle management, and isolation
Performance engineering experience for latency-sensitive client operations (e.g., fast item scan, payment flows)
POS, retail, payment, promotion, or hardware peripheral integration experience
