The Java and Kotlin programming languages are the basis for developing applications for Android. Therefore, it is very important that the Android developers have the dominance of these languages, mainly focused on Object Orientation, data types, and asynchronous executions, because all this knowledge will be transferred to the Android platform.
The heart of the organization is our team of Android Developers. They consistently push the boundaries of encrypted communications in order to maximize Secure Group's apps and deliver the most secure mobile solutions.


In addition, it is important that the Android developers know the libraries and the ecosystem of the Android platform. After all, if the features are not performing accordingly, the application could have several problems.
The developers are in charge of handling the entire software lifecycle, from requirements analysis through prototype creation, wireframe conversion to high-quality code, and feature implementation.


When we speak about Android development, the need for testing is huge because of the application environment's variations, such as the various versions of Android and different screen sizes. Because of that, there are several techniques such as unit tests, integration tests, and interface tests that our Android developers will be required to execute.
Growing within this framework entails cooperating with other developers and producing high-quality apps.


So if you are interested in coding in an Agile environment while developing hard skills and soft skills, your progress in our Career Journey would be:
= Progression =


Level 1: Android Developer </br>
In order to progress in our development path and Level Up or Step Up, our Android Developers must:</br>
Level 2: Senior Android Developer </br>
* Meet the criteria of the Level & Step Chart for the [[Individual_Contributors|Individual Contributors Path]]
Level 3: Android Software Engineer </br>
* Meet the [[Android_Development#KAI_of_the_framework|KAI]] grade of the framework related to each level
Level 4: Senior Android Software Engineer </br>
* Demonstrate proficiency in [[Secure Group Knowledge]]
Level 5: Android System Architect </br>
Level 6: Senior Android System Architect</br>
</br>


=== Introduction ===
== Level A ==
In order to achieve the best of their performance, we will introduce the list of requirements and concepts our Android Developers should focus on to succeed in our business, as well as their remuneration.</br>
The Level A path is destined for employees who still do not possess the skills or proficiency in the whole set of criteria required of Individual Contributors. If during the hiring process we detected that you had the potential to quickly become Level 1, we made you an offer for Level A so you can expect to be provided with coaching, structured tasks with technical challenges, and the opportunity to learn and grow so you can be part of the Management Model as an Individual Contributor.
In order to progress in our Career Journey, they need to:


* Meet the criterias of the [https://careers.securegroup.com/wiki/Career_Journey#General_ICs_Job_Level_Chart General ICs Job Level Chart] & [https://careers.securegroup.com/wiki/Career_Journey#General_ICs_Job_Step_Chart General ICs Job Step Chart]
=== Golden Rules ===
* Meet the specific criterias of the Android Development framework regarding:
- [[#General_Knowledge|General Knowledge]] a list of indispensable softwares, tools, platforms and more, for '''Secure Group''', that they need to know (it can be a little bit out of the scope of their position).</br>
- [[#Specific_Knowledge|Specific Knowledge]]: a list of concepts, tools, software and etc, that are indispensable for them to develop under the scope of their position.</br>
- [[#Secure_Group_Knowledge|Secure Group Knowledge]]: a list of products, company profile and features that they need to know in order to succeed in '''Secure Group'''.</br>
- [[#Basic_IT_Concepts|Basic IT Concepts]]: a list of essential concepts that we consider to be basic for our Frameworks and that we expect employees to master.</br>


''Observation: if there's any requirement that is repeated in the following tables but with different grades, the higher requested proficiency will prevail in the Performance Evaluation.''
To Level Up to become part of the Individual Contributor's Path, the Level A employees must:


=== General Knowledge ===
* Meet the criteria of the [[Individual Contributors]] Level & Step Grid in one year.
To be able to reach Level 3 in our Career Journey there is some General knowledge regarding a variety of subjects that we request from our Android Developers. This means that considering the [[KAI]] grades of proficiency, they will need to score from 4 to 6 in the following items:
* Demonstrate proficiency in the [[Knowledge_Management#Knowledge_Grade_Description|KAI]] of the Android Development framework according to the levels.
