What is an AOSP developer?

An AOSP Developer is a software engineer who specializes in working with the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which is the open-source framework behind the Android operating system. These developers customize, modify, and build Android firmware to suit various devices or use cases, such as smartphones, tablets, or custom hardware. Their work often includes porting Android to new hardware, developing system-level features, and troubleshooting low-level issues. AOSP Developers need a strong understanding of Linux, Android architecture, and embedded systems.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an AOSP developer?

To thrive as an AOSP Developer, you need a strong background in Android development, proficiency in Java and C/C++, and a deep understanding of the Android Open Source Project architecture. Familiarity with version control systems like Git, build tools such as Gradle, and experience working with Android Studio and the AOSP build environment are typically required. Analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective collaboration are crucial soft skills for addressing complex system-level challenges and working with cross-functional teams. These skills ensure robust, customized Android solutions and successful integration within device ecosystems.

What are some common challenges AOSP developers face when integrating custom hardware features?

AOSP Developers often encounter challenges when integrating custom hardware features, such as ensuring compatibility with the Android framework, troubleshooting device driver issues, and maintaining security standards. Collaboration with hardware engineers and understanding the nuances of device-specific kernels are essential parts of the process. Additionally, developers must rigorously test features across different Android versions to ensure consistent performance and stability.

Job description

Job Summary:
Aura Home, Inc. is focused on creating authentic connections through innovative digital frames and software. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Frame Platform Team, responsible for developing the Android-based software experience for connected frame products.
Responsibilities:
• Develop and evolve the core platform application — from architecture through delivery.
• Design and implement Android system services and background processes that support device lifecycle management, including OTA update delivery, installation orchestration, and rollback handling.
• Work within a vendor-customized AOSP environment, understanding how platform-level configurations and system app permissions shape application behavior.
• Collaborate with firmware and hardware teams to integrate new device capabilities into the platform app and associated services.
• Drive quality through thorough testing practices — unit, integration, and end-to-end — and establish patterns that raise the bar across the team.
• Lead technical design discussions, write clear design documents, and participate in code reviews to maintain high engineering standards.
• Mentor and support other engineers on the team, contributing to a culture of craft, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 7+ years of Android development experience
• Strong proficiency in Java and Kotlin
• Solid understanding of the Android platform — application lifecycle, inter-process communication (Binder/AIDL), system services, and permissions model.
• Experience building and owning background services, including WorkManager, foreground services, broadcast receivers, and related Android primitives.
• Demonstrated ability to own large, complex features end-to-end across design, implementation, testing, and production monitoring.
• Strong communication skills; comfortable driving technical discussions and writing design documentation.
Preferred:
• Experience shipping software for Android-based consumer hardware products
• Exposure to AOSP build system (Soong), system app development, and platform-signed APK integration.
• Experience with device management or fleet operations concepts — staged rollouts, forced update policies, device health monitoring.
• Comfort reading and navigating AOSP source to understand platform behavior, even if not actively modifying it day-to-day.
• Experience with backend integration for device services — REST/gRPC APIs, push messaging, or device telemetry pipelines.
• Prior experience in a startup or fast-paced hardware/software product environment.
Company:
Aura blends software, hardware, and design into products that drive connection between loved ones. Founded in 2012, the company is headquartered in New York, USA, with a team of 51-200 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
