Role Description AOA is hiring a Senior Android Engineer to build the native Android experience that runs on a custom ARM-based embedded device, not a phone. This is a full-stack device role that spans low-level hardware integration up through the companion mobile app. You will own the Android architecture for purpose-built hardware: an offline-first, modular system with encrypted per-profile storage, designed so a great experience holds up on real hardware with constrained resources. This is the senior technical owner role for the device's Android experience. We keep specifications lean because we trust strong engineers to think deeply, resolve open architecture decisions, and shape the technical path forward. You will: - Integrate the device's onboard cameras, sensors, controlled lighting, and physical hardware controls used as the primary navigation input instead of touch. - Build the shared abstraction layers the rest of the app consumes. - Connect the device to the world through Bluetooth audio, Wi-Fi sync, OTA updates, and companion apps. You will operate independently across the device and companion-app surface, partnering with designers, the product owner, and any hardware or firmware counterparts to move work forward with clarity and care. As an AI-native agency, we use modern AI coding tools and agents to increase speed, quality, and focus, while keeping strong human judgment at the center of the final product. You may be a strong fit if you are a senior Android engineer who has built for real devices or embedded hardware, not only phone apps, takes pride in software that works close to the metal, enjoys turning ambiguity into thoughtful implementation, and wants to own the Android work end-to-end with a close-knit team that cares deeply about client outcomes. Qualifications - 5+ years building production Android applications in Kotlin. - Deep, current Android platform expertise. - Hands-on experience building Android for custom, embedded, or non-phone hardware. - Experience integrating device hardware such as cameras, sensors, peripherals, or physical controls. - Experience designing offline-first or local-data architectures with future sync in mind. - Connectivity experience with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, OTA updates, or device pairing. - A track record of owning Android architecture end-to-end as a senior engineer. - Strong judgment in resolving open technical decisions and owning tradeoffs. - Strong Android fundamentals: lifecycle, state management, performance, and memory. - Experience taking ambiguous requirements through to production on real hardware. - A strong quality discipline: typed, tested code and on-device verification before QA. - Ability to estimate your work, commit within a delivery cycle, and reliably deliver. - Excellent professional English, spoken and written. - Strong written communication and proactive, independent work in a fully remote team. - Reliable overlap with standard US Central Time business hours. - Fluent, practical use of AI coding tools as part of your engineering workflow. - Based in Latin America and able to work as an independent contractor.
