About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Deliver high-quality, high-performing embedded Android experiences that AOA is known for, with predictability, agentic-efficiency, and collaborative ownership.
Own the end-to-end Android architecture for native Android on custom ARM-based embedded hardware.
Design an offline-first, modular system with local data architecture that can support future cloud sync.
Design encrypted per-profile storage, the local database, and build variants for the embedded device.
Resolve open architecture decisions and own the technical path forward.
Integrate device hardware into the app, including onboard cameras, controlled lighting, proximity sensors, and physical navigation controls.
Build shared hardware-abstraction layers for camera management, physical input, and device lifecycle behavior.
Design around display power states, cold boot, power transitions, abnormal shutdowns, and constrained hardware resources.
Build the on-device Kotlin experience from approved designs and specifications, including a UI navigated by physical controls.
Ensure core product features work reliably offline.
Implement Bluetooth audio, Wi-Fi sync, OTA updates, offline device-to-device transfer, and casting or streaming.
Design connected-device flows to degrade gracefully without bricking the device or corrupting data.
Build and maintain companion mobile apps and device-to-companion integration, including pairing, transfer, and shared data contracts.
Meet device performance targets for cold boot, profile switching, and camera initialization.
Use the device GPU and NPU appropriately for imaging and AR work while managing memory and power limits.
Turn product-level requirements into clear engineering work, owning the technical 'how.'
Bring strong engineering and UX judgment to the work, rather than building only what is explicitly written.
Write typed, tested, maintainable Kotlin that follows the existing codebase conventions.
Verify every feature on real hardware before handoff and catch issues before QA.
Conduct code reviews and set the review bar for Android work.
Lead the Android work technically and raise the capability of the intermediate developer on the project.
Establish the patterns and abstractions other Android work builds on.
Size your work in points, commit within the monthly delivery cycle, and reliably deliver what you planned.
Time-box spikes to resolve genuine hardware unknowns before they become delivery risks.
Use AI coding tools and agents thoughtfully to increase throughput and quality.
Keep engineering judgment in control of the final output.
Plan and sequence your work across the device and companion-app surface.
Surface risks and tradeoffs early, and communicate proactively across a remote team.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years building production Android applications in Kotlin.

A track record of owning Android architecture end-to-end as a senior engineer.
Strong judgment in resolving open technical decisions and owning tradeoffs.
Strong Android fundamentals: lifecycle, state management, performance, and memory.
Experience taking ambiguous requirements through to production on real hardware.
A strong quality discipline: typed, tested code and on-device verification before QA.
Ability to estimate your work, commit within a delivery cycle, and reliably deliver.
Excellent professional English, spoken and written.
Strong written communication and proactive, independent work in a fully remote team.
Reliable overlap with standard US Central Time business hours.
