Job Description
Job Summary:
We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer specializing in the Android platform, with strong knowledge of Android system internals beyond application development. This role will focus on designing and implementing service-based architecture solutions that run continuously on dedicated Android-based devices (24/7). The ideal candidate will bring a deep understanding of how Android operates at the system level and how it interfaces with its underlying Linux environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and implement service-based Android software components capable of running persistently and reliably on dedicated hardware.
- Develop, maintain, and optimize background services and system-level components, leveraging Androids system APIs and mechanisms (e.g., Services, Broadcast Receivers, AIDL).
- Analyze and work with Android framework and system services to meet project requirements.
- Debug and troubleshoot issues at the Android system and user-mode Linux levels, including logs, system services, and inter-process communication.
- Contribute to architectural decisions involving Android system modifications, persistent service behavior, and low-level system interactions.
- Develop tools or customizations for automated deployment, diagnostics, and monitoring on Android devices.
- Collaborate closely with the algorithmic team to implement and integrate control and computer vision algorithms into the Android system in a performant and reliable manner.
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years of professional experience in Android software development, with at least 2 years working at the system level (beyond app development).
- Strong understanding of Android internals, including the Android framework, system services, HAL, AIDL, and IPC mechanisms.
- Proficiency in Java and Kotlin, and experience with C/C++ for interfacing with native Android layers.
- Experience developing persistent services and daemons within Android.
- Experience in debugging and profiling Android systems (ADB, logcat, systrace, etc.).
- Familiarity with custom ROMs, AOSP, or modifying/building Android images is a strong plus.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with dedicated hardware or embedded Android devices (e.g., kiosks, IoT appliances).
- Solid understanding of Linux user-mode programming, including processes, signals, permissions, and shell scripting.
- Working knowledge of Linux system administration and init systems (systemd or Android init).
- Familiarity with networked services, REST APIs, and data persistence strategies in a service-based architecture.
- Background in continuous integration, OTA updates, or device provisioning in managed fleets.
- Understanding of security concepts in Android (SELinux, permissions, sandboxing).
