Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Spectrio consistently ranks among the fastest-growing and largest companies in the Tampa Bay area.

This is a US BASED POSITION. Position is open to external candidates in Florida, North Carolina, or Texas and offers the flexibility of remote work. Internal candidates are also encouraged to apply.
Primary Objective: We are looking for a specialist Sr. Android Engineer to bridge the gap between high-level application logic and low-level hardware performance. Unlike traditional mobile apps, our software runs on headless media players, System-on-Chip (SoC) TVs, and kiosks that must remain performant and stable 24/7. You will be responsible for building the "engine" that powers global digital signage networks, focusing on heavy media playback, IPTV streaming, and remote device orchestration.
Core Responsibilities
  • Embedded Solutions: Design and maintain Android services and apps for headless and non-touch environments, ensuring the application boots instantly and recovers automatically from failures.
  • Advanced Media Playback: Optimize video pipelines using ExoPlayer/Media3 to handle 4K content, seamless looping, and multi-zone rendering without dropped frames.
  • IPTV & Live Streaming: Implement and tune HLS, RTSP, and Multicast (UDP) streaming capabilities, focusing on low-latency delivery and robust buffer management.
  • Hardware Interfacing: Work directly with device hardware APIs (serial ports, HDMI-CEC, USB-HID) to control screens, sensors, and external peripherals.
  • Fleet Management: Develop logic for Remote Device Management (RDM), including silent background updates, real-time telemetry, and remote screenshot/logging capabilities.
  • System Stability: Own "Always-On" reliability-managing memory leaks, thermal throttling, and offline-first data persistence (Room/SQLite) to survive network outages.

Technical Requirements
  • Expert Kotlin/Java: Deep understanding of the Android SDK, particularly background Services, Broadcast Receivers, and WorkManager.
  • Streaming Mastery: Proven experience with streaming protocols (HLS, DASH, RTSP, Multicast) and hardware-accelerated video decoding (H.264/HEVC).
  • Networking: Strong knowledge of Sockets, MQTT, and WebSockets for real-time device-to-cloud communication.
  • Performance: Experience with profiling tools (Android Profiler, Systrace) to minimize CPU/GPU overhead and ensure 99.9% uptime.
  • Modern Architecture: Professional experience with MVVM, Clean Architecture, and Dagger/Hilt.

Preferred Requirements
  • SoC Experience: Experience developing for professional displays (e.g., Sony Pro Bravia, Philips/TPV, or specialized Android Media Players).
  • AOSP/MDM: Knowledge of Android Enterprise, Custom ROMs, or MDM (Mobile Device Management) APIs.
  • Web Technologies: Familiarity with the WebView stack and hardware-accelerated Chromium rendering (common in signage).
  • CI/CD: Experience with automated deployment to physical device labs.

Requirements
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong focus on Android development
  • Expertise in Kotlin and/or Java with deep knowledge of the Android SDK
  • Experience building and maintaining Android background services, including Services, Broadcast Receivers, and WorkManager
  • Strong experience with media playback frameworks such as ExoPlayer or Media3
  • Hands-on experience with video streaming protocols, including HLS, RTSP, DASH, or Multicast
  • Solid understanding of networking concepts, including sockets, MQTT, and WebSockets
  • Experience working with hardware-accelerated video decoding (e.g., H.264, HEVC)
  • Experience optimizing application performance using tools such as Android Profiler or similar
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve system-level issues (memory, CPU, stability)
  • Experience designing and building highly reliable, always-on systems

Benefits Built for You
We care for our team members through a holistic benefits package designed to support your health, family, and future:
  • Remote Work: We believe great work happens where you feel most inspired, backed by a culture that prioritizes connection, collaboration, and flexibility.

  • Paid Sick Leave: All employees accrue up to 40 hours (5 days) of sick time per year.
  • Company Paid Holidays: 10 observed holidays per year
  • Medical Insurance: Three plan options (Low HSA, Mid, and High Plans); Dental Insurance: High and Low PPO plan options; and Vision Insurance.
  • Basic Life Insurance: $50,000 policy, 100% employer-paid.
  • Short-Term Disability: 100% employer-paid; covers 60% of weekly salary for up to 26 weeks.
