Kotlin is Google's preferred language for Android development — more concise than Java, safer by default, and purpose-built for modern Android with Jetpack Compose. Whether you need a native Android app, a Kotlin Multiplatform project, or a Ktor backend, GetDeveloper has pre-vetted Kotlin developers ready in 48 hours.
Available Now
Every Kotlin developer has been tested on modern Android with Jetpack Compose, Kotlin Coroutines and Flow, MVVM/MVI architecture, and production Play Store experience.

Our Kotlin Developer Network — By Specialisation
Capabilities
Kotlin's range has grown significantly beyond Android — though native Android remains its most common use case by far.
Pixel-perfect, performant Android apps using Jetpack Compose — the modern declarative UI toolkit that Google actively promotes for all new Android development.
Shared business logic between Android and iOS — repositories, use cases, network layer, and data models written once in Kotlin, with native UI on each platform.
MVVM and MVI architecture with proper separation of concerns — ViewModel, Repository pattern, Use Cases, and dependency injection that keeps Android apps testable.
Server-side Kotlin with Ktor — building the REST APIs that serve Android clients, with Kotlin coroutines for efficient async I/O.
Kotlin's built-in async programming primitives for concurrent work and reactive data streams throughout the application architecture.
Migrating legacy Java Android codebases to Kotlin incrementally — taking advantage of null safety, concise syntax, and coroutines without rewriting everything at once.
Our Process
30-minute call about your Android app, whether you need KMP for iOS sharing, Jetpack Compose requirements, and your Play Store release timeline.
Day 1We hand-pick 3–5 Kotlin developer profiles matching your specialisation — native Android, KMP, or Ktor backend.
Within 48 HoursTalk directly with developers. Ask about Jetpack Compose architecture, state handling in complex screens, and their approach to testing.
Day 3–4We handle NDAs, contracts, and onboarding. Your Kotlin developer starts on the agreed date, ready to contribute from day one.
Day 5–7Context
For new Android development, the answer is Kotlin — unambiguously. Google made Kotlin the preferred Android language in 2019 and all new Jetpack APIs are Kotlin-first.
Kotlin isn't just a nicer Java for Android. Coroutines and Flow are a fundamentally better way to handle Android's async requirements. Once you've used them, you don't go back.
Java is the right choice only when maintaining a legacy Java Android codebase where converting to Kotlin would require significant rework. Even then, Kotlin and Java are fully interoperable.
For Kotlin Multiplatform: KMP is now stable and increasingly production-ready. Companies including Netflix, VMware, and Philips use it in production.
