Operating without standard UI components or app store frameworks means our hardware relies entirely on custom system services and low-level IPC architecture. You will engineer core system services, optimize device hardware abstractions, and build the custom Android framework powering our long-term field deployments.WHAT YOU'LL OWN* Architect and implement custom Android system services, AIDL interfaces, and hardware abstractions for headless AOSP builds.* Build testable system-level features using Kotlin, Java, Rust, and C++ to interface directly between the kernel and application layer.* Diagnose complex OS-level memory leaks, concurrency deadlocks, and performance bottlenecks using tools like Perfetto and Android Profiler.* Develop automated CTS and VTS test suites, unit tests, and system update pipelines to maintain fleet reliability over the air.* Conduct root-cause analysis on system tombstones, bug reports, and kernel logs across custom Qualcomm-based hardware platforms.WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT* This isn't a mobile app development role, you won't write UI code, manage Fragments, or deploy applications to the Google Play Store.* This is not a high-level application scripting job, you will spend your time in the AOSP stack writing AIDL interfaces, system services, and low-level IPC frameworks.* This isn't a desktop simulation position, you will debug live code running on physical, headless camera hardware in real-world deployment states.WHAT YOU BRING* Practical experience designing versioned service interfaces using AIDL or HIDL to expose hardware functionality to system applications.* Proficiency in Kotlin and Java with strong knowledge of OS threading concepts, coroutines, synchronization, and memory management.* Experience building or debugging custom AOSP environments, shell scripts, init.rc configurations, and SE Linux security policies.* Capability to trace execution flow across different layers of the Android stack using tools like Perfetto, tracing utilities, and tombstone logs.* Experience with C or C++, Linux kernel drivers, or Qualcomm camera stacks is a plus.COMPENSATIONIn this role, you'll receive a starting salary between $130,000 and $160,000 as well as Flock Stock Options.
