A technology company is seeking an AOSP engineer to work across Android applications, framework layers, HALs, interfaces, and kernel boundaries. You will modernize legacy platform services across multiple Android generations, implement new device capabilities, make architectural decisions, and work deeply with IPC, permissions, SELinux, and hardware abstraction. The role includes CI/CD, code reviews, and automated testing.
Highlights
Own end-to-end Android platform components, modernize legacy services, design new platform capabilities, influence architecture, and improve quality through CI/CD, code reviews, and automated testing.
Description
Help build the Android platform that powers next‑generation video collaboration devices used in meeting rooms worldwide.
We design and ship purpose-built, Android-based room systems—video bars, controllers, and a cloud platform for fleet management—partnered tightly with leading conferencing ecosystems.
What you’ll do:
Own end-to-end pieces of the Android stack across apps, framework, HALs/AIDL, and interfaces touching kernel boundaries.Port and modernize legacy services from Android 9/13 to Android 15, ensuring reliability, security, and performance.Design and implement new capabilities, including features like Microsoft Teams Rooms support and room-system enhancements.Make pragmatic architectural decisions, shaping platform direction and setting quality bars for user experience.Dive into the Android middle layer: Binder/HwBinder IPC, permissions models, SELinux, and HAL interactions.Ship confidently through CI/CD, code reviews, and automated testing, improving pipelines as you go.Collaborate closely within a 16-person core applications team while working fully remote across time zones.
What you’ll bring:
Proven track record with AOSP, including hands-on framework development and delivery of a full Android platform or significant components.Strong coding skills in C/C++ and/or Java/Kotlin.Solid understanding of Android IPC (Binder, HwBinder), Android security concepts (app permissions, SELinux), and HAL/AIDL development.Comfort navigating boundaries between application, framework, and lower layers—curious, resourceful, and unafraid to dig deep.Pragmatic mindset focused on building polished, high-quality end-user experiences in a competitive space.Familiarity with Git-based workflows and CI/CD (e.g., GitLab CI/CD).
Why this role:
Impact at the core: Your decisions influence system architecture, performance, and the day-to-day experience in real meeting rooms.Broad technical surface area: From UX-level features to low-level platform work—no silos.Products with real scale: Devices are deployed globally and closely integrated with major collaboration platforms.Remote-first collaboration with a tight-knit, experienced team that values learning and craftsmanship.
