Custom Kotlin development services

You’ve probably used products built by our Kotlin developers.

As a Kotlin app development company, we’ve been building Kotlin-based solutions for over a decade. Our Kotlin development team delivers scalable Android apps, JVM backends, and cross-platform app development.

  • Android App Development

    We build native Android apps in Kotlin with the Android SDK and Android Studio. Our teams design for offline use, secure authentication, and complex data handling. 

    Our apps scale smoothly and work reliably across devices. Updates roll out without downtime, which helps reduce support issues and keep users engaged.

  • Enterprise Backend Development

    Many enterprises are still running on backends that weren’t designed for today’s concurrency or observability needs. We deliver Kotlin backends that address these challenges up front, embedding modern concurrency models, monitoring, and governance into the architecture. 

    This gives your enterprise a fault-tolerant foundation that scales with demand. It also reduces maintenance costs and provides the visibility you need to manage risk.

  • Kotlin Multiplatform Applications

    Duplicating code across iOS and Android wastes your team’s time and budget. We use Kotlin Multiplatform to share business logic in unified modules while keeping fully native frontends. This means we can cut delivery times, maintain feature consistency, and lower long-term costs.

  • Java-to-Kotlin Migration Services

    If legacy Java code is slowing innovation and increasing risk, we can help. Our teams migrate large systems to Kotlin through incremental rewrites, null-safety strategies, and CI validation. This allows you to modernize your stack and maintain runtime stability without halting operations.

  • Kotlin Microservices

    Ship features faster while modernizing systems without big, risky rewrites. We build Kotlin microservices that reduce boilerplate, simplify async programming, and make services easier to maintain. Working on containerized, API-first, or event-driven systems? Our Kotlin experts help you release cycles and create services that scale predictably without performance bottlenecks.

  • Event-Driven Systems in Kotlin

    We engineer event pipelines in Kotlin with backpressure handling, ordered processing, and fault recovery using Kafka or cloud-native streaming. You move faster with predictable throughput and reliable data flows.

  • Cloud-Native and Serverless Kotlin Applications

    Elastic systems reduce both your cost and risk. We create cloud-native Kotlin applications and serverless workloads on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Our solutions let you scale systems on demand, minimize operational effort, and get software that adapts to shifting business requirements.

  • Kotlin Application Support and Maintenance

    We provide long-term support and maintenance for Kotlin applications under clear SLAs, including proactive patching, performance monitoring, and feature updates. You keep critical systems secure and aligned with evolving business priorities.

Their engineers perform at very high standards. We've had a strong relationship for almost 7 years."

The best partnerships are the ones you don't have to worry about. We deliver the kind of technical execution and reliability that builds long-term trust. It's why clients consistently praise our work quality and performance.

Speak With Our Team

  • Top 1% Senior Kotlin Talent

    We staff every project with top 1% senior engineers (selected out of over 2 million yearly applicants). With 8–10+ years of JVM and Kotlin experience, they have the technical depth to deliver across Android, backend, and multiplatform initiatives. That means faster launches and reliable, production-ready apps.

  • Proven Success Migrating and Scaling

    We’ve delivered 1,250+ projects for Fortune 500 enterprises to fast-growing startups. That includes large-scale Java-to-Kotlin migrations and enterprise-grade Kotlin backends supporting millions of daily users. Our track record gives you the stability to scale and the capacity to deliver new features faster.

  • Managed Delivery

    We provide non-billable delivery managers who keep your Kotlin team aligned with business priorities and accountable for outcomes. They manage risks, dependencies, and blockers before they slow you down. So your in-house leaders don’t have to. Our model gives you predictable delivery, continuous progress, and fewer surprises in production—without the need for constant oversight.

Kotlin FAQ

What tech leaders ask about Kotlin before pulling us in:

  • How quickly can you start a Kotlin project with us?

    We typically staff Kotlin projects in 2–4 weeks. Our expert Kotlin developers arrive fully equipped and ready to work, with access, credentials, and environments provisioned in advance to support Android, backend, and cross-platform development. 

  • Are your Kotlin developers senior-level?

    Yes. We hire less than 1% of 2.2M+ applicants each year, so every engineer you work with is senior-level. They average 8–10 years of JVM and Kotlin experience and are ready to handle Android apps, backends, and multiplatform builds.

  • Do you cover cross-platform app development with Kotlin?

    Yes. We use Kotlin Multiplatform to share business logic across Android, iOS, web, and desktop platforms. This reduces duplication, accelerates feature delivery, and keeps experiences consistent across other platforms.

  • How do you handle Java-to-Kotlin migrations?

    We migrate large Java systems through incremental rewrites, null-safety strategies, and CI-driven validation. Our approach preserves stability while giving you a modern, maintainable Kotlin-based app with access to new features.

  • How do you guarantee code quality and prevent regressions?

    We embed automated testing, static analysis, and peer review into every Kotlin project. Tools like JUnit, Kotest, and Testcontainers provide multi-layered quality gates that reduce production defects and prevent app crashes.

  • How do you handle compliance and security?

    We build security and compliance directly into our delivery pipelines. Our teams use policy-as-code tools, encrypted secrets management, and continuous vulnerability scanning to protect data and infrastructure. We maintain audit trails and align with HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR requirements so you meet regulatory standards.

  • How do you keep Kotlin projects on track long-term?

    We assign a non-billable delivery manager to keep your Kotlin team focused on the roadmap and accountable for results. They step in early to handle risks, dependencies, and blockers, so work keeps moving without constant oversight.

    Plus, our U.S. time zone alignment makes day-to-day collaboration simple. And our engineers stay an average of 2+ years, so you get stability as well as speed. With 4,000+ senior engineers on staff, we also have the bench strength to adjust teams as your needs evolve.

  • Do your teams work in real time with our US-based team?

    Yes. Our 4,000+ bilingual engineers work U.S. hours and embed directly into your standups, sprint planning, and daily communication channels. You get seamless day-to-day collaboration with no delays or time zone barriers.

  • Have you delivered at enterprise scale?

    Yes. We’ve completed projects for nearly 1500 clients to date, including many Fortune 500 and other enterprise companies. Our engineers have delivered Android apps, JVM backends, event-driven systems, and custom Kotlin solutions across industries. That track record means we can handle enterprise demands for security, compliance, and scale with predictable delivery.

  • Do you provide long-term support for Kotlin applications?

    Yes. We offer ongoing support under clear SLAs, covering patching, monitoring, and feature enhancements. This ensures your Kotlin systems remain secure, stable, and aligned with evolving needs.
