Android Performance Engineer - Cold Boot (Automotive)

WE ARE LOOKING FOR

ANDROID PERFORMANCE ENGINEER – COLD BOOT (AUTOMOTIVE)

We’re looking for a Senior Android Software Engineer to join a team working on improving the startup performance of Android-based automotive infotainment applications. The focus of this role is cold boot optimization — making the system and its apps load faster and run more efficiently after a full power-up.

You’ll be analyzing startup behavior, identifying bottlenecks across both the app and Android platform layers, and implementing code-level optimizations to ensure a smoother user experience. The work involves close collaboration with app developers and system engineers to measure, optimize, and validate performance improvements throughout the boot process.

Working with us is straightforward — there’s good team spirit, low hierarchy, and minimal bureaucracy. The role is remote, but there’s flexibility to visit the office if needed.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Android software development.
• Deep understanding of Android SDK and Android internals.
• Strong knowledge of operating system concepts and Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation.
• Proven experience profiling and resolving performance-related issues.
• Hands-on experience with JUnit and Android UI testing.
  
  

Nice To Have

• Experience with AOSP, ART/Dalvik, or other low-level JVM components.
• Understanding of Jetpack Macrobenchmark or Baseline Profiles.
• Prior experience with Android in automotive environments.
  
  

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Profile and analyze Android app startup performance to identify delays and bottlenecks.
• Implement code-level optimizations to improve cold boot and app initialization times.
• Collaborate with both app and platform teams to fine-tune performance across Android layers.
• Use profiling tools and benchmarking frameworks to measure CPU, memory, and startup performance.
• Validate improvements through automated and UI testing to ensure system stability and quality.
