Role: Android Device Engineer

We’re looking for an experienced Android Device Engineer to join our Mobile App engineering team. This role will own the development of native mobile applications that interface directly with our devices, as well as the supporting frontend layers that connect hardware, cloud services, and user experience.

You’ll work closely with embedded and backend teams to deliver reliable, high-performance device experience.

Core Expertise

• Experience building native Android applications using Kotlin for production environments.
• Experience with React (and React Native or hybrid architectures where appropriate) for device-facing and companion interfaces.
• Proven ability to design and implement device communication layers (BLE, Wi-Fi, APIs, messaging, or similar).
• Experience integrating mobile apps with cloud services, with hands-on use of Azure DevOps for CI/CD, pipelines, and release management.
• Strong understanding of mobile performance, reliability, and lifecycle management, especially for apps that interact with hardware.

Key Experience

• 3+ years building production mobile applications, ideally for hardware-enabled or device-centric products.
• Demonstrated experience shipping and maintaining Android apps in Kotlin.
• Experience using React in production (web, hybrid, or companion interfaces).
• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps (pipelines, builds, releases, issue tracking).
• Experience debugging real-world device issues (connectivity, state sync, latency, edge cases).

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain native mobile applications that interface directly with our devices.
• Build and evolve device companion interfaces using Kotlin and React-based frontends.
• Implement and maintain reliable device-to-app communication and cloud integration.
• Work closely with embedded, backend, and product teams to ensure seamless end-to-end behaviour.
• Contribute to CI/CD workflows using Azure DevOps to support rapid, reliable iteration.
• Optimize performance, stability, and UX across a wide range of real-world usage scenarios.

Equity-Based Compensation:

We are not offering a salary. We are offering an opportunity to be a part of a revolution. You will receive a stake in the company for your engagement. If you are looking for a standard paycheck, this isn’t for you.
