Android Full-Stack Engineer - Hybrid

Android Full-Stack Engineer (AOSP / Android Framework)
 Hybrid - 4 Days Onsite Per Week
Bachelor's Degree Required | Master's Preferred
Are you passionate about solving the toughest Android platform challenges? We are seeking an experienced Android Full-Stack Engineer with deep expertise in Android Framework, AOSP, middleware, and platform stability to join a high-impact engineering team.
This role is focused on the Android platform itself, not Android application development. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience working across the Android stack, including framework internals, native services, vendor layers, and system-level debugging.
What You'll Do

• Design and develop Android middleware and background services that support platform-level functionality.
• Debug and resolve complex Android stability and performance issues across framework, native, and vendor layers.
• Analyze and modify Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code.
• Troubleshoot system_server components including Activity Manager, Window Manager, Package Manager, and Car Service.
• Investigate and resolve boot failures, black screen issues, ANRs, crashes, and platform reliability concerns.
• Perform root-cause analysis on difficult, ambiguous, and hard-to-reproduce issues.
• Support Android OS upgrades, integrations, and platform migrations.
• Resolve CTS, VTS, ATS, and STS compliance issues.
• Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure platform robustness and long-term stability.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of Android Platform or Android Framework development experience.
• Strong experience with Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
• Hands-on experience developing Android middleware and background/system services.
• Strong programming skills in:
  • Kotlin
  • Java
  • C++
• Experience working with Binder/AIDL interfaces.
• Ability to debug and modify Android Framework and system_server components.
• Experience troubleshooting complex platform-level issues across the Android stack.
• Proven ability to perform deep technical investigations and root-cause analysis.

Preferred Qualifications

• Android Automotive OS (AAOS) experience.
• Experience with Car Service and automotive platforms.
• Knowledge of HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) and vendor integration.
• Familiarity with SurfaceFlinger and Android graphics/display subsystems.
• Experience with CTS, VTS, ATS, and STS compliance testing.
• Experience using Logcat, Perfetto, Systrace, GDB, and LLDB.
• Familiarity with Android build systems (Soong/Make).
• Experience supporting Android platform bring-up and working with SoC/silicon vendors.

Important: What We're NOT Looking For
This is not an Android app development position.
Candidates whose experience is primarily focused on the following are unlikely to be a fit:

• Android application development
• Mobile UI development
• Android SDK/API development
• Jetpack Compose development
• App-focused Kotlin/Java development
• Front-end Android engineering
• Application-level debugging without Android Framework or AOSP experience

Ideal Candidate
You are a highly technical Android engineer who enjoys investigating and solving complex platform problems that others cannot. You are comfortable working deep within Android Framework internals, can navigate AOSP source code confidently, and serve as a technical resource for challenging platform stability issues.
Automotive, embedded Android, and Android Automotive OS experience are highly desirable.
