You will collaborate with product managers, designers, and platform engineers to translate requirements into scalable, testable solutions and to continuously refine UX based on feedback and data.

Requirements

• Professional experience building and shipping Android applications, preferably multiple apps or releases.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Kotlin and Java for Android development.
• Extensive experience building UIs with Jetpack Compose (or migrating from legacy Views to Compose).
• Demonstrated strength in Android UI development: layouts, theming, animations, navigation, and responsiveness across devices.
• Understanding of Android app architecture patterns (e.g., ViewModel, coroutines/Flow, dependency injection) and modern Android libraries.
• Exposure to AOSP or Android Automotive OS (AAOS) frameworks, platform APIs, or system services integration.
• Strong debugging and problem‑solving skills using Android Studio and related tools.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross‑functional team, communicating clearly with engineering, product, and design stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Go (Golang) or C++ in support of Android apps (services, native modules, or performance‑critical components).
• Prior work on AAOS SystemUI, in‑vehicle infotainment, or multi‑display Android experiences.
• Experience contributing to UI kits, design systems, or reusable component libraries for Android.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and quality checks for Android projects.
• Experience in automotive, embedded systems, or other environments with safety and reliability constraints.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Android applications for in‑vehicle use using Kotlin and Java.
• Build modern, composable UIs with Jetpack Compose, optimizing layouts, animations, and state handling for in‑vehicle use cases.
• Integrate applications with AOSP/AAOS frameworks and system services (e.g., system UI behavior, vehicle data, multi‑display, lifecycle and input handling).
• Implement clean application architectures (e.g., MVVM/MVI) including navigation, state management, and data flow.
• Write high‑quality, testable code with appropriate unit, integration, and UI tests, and participate in code reviews.
• Investigate and resolve performance, memory, and stability issues using standard Android tools and profiling.
• Collaborate closely with UX and product partners to align implementations with design specifications and interaction patterns.
• Contribute to shared Android libraries and reusable UI components to drive consistency across multiple apps.
