Sr. Android Developer

As an Android Engineer on the in-car voice assistant team, you will build user-facing experiences and system-level integrations for vehicle head units. This role offers hands-on exposure to Android platform development, voice AI integration, and real-time system interactions, with opportunities to work alongside backend, ML, and embedded teams. You will be expected to take technical ownership of critical modules, contribute to architectural decisions, and mentor junior developers in best practices.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop Android applications and SDKs and services optimised for automotive head units.
• Collaborate with designers and product teams to translate voice assistant workflows into interactive UIs and Android services.
• Write clean, maintainable code following best practices in object-orientated programming and architectural design.
• Handle asynchronous tasks and background thread execution efficiently using Android concurrency tools.
• Build robust communication layers between the Android app and voice engines or cloud APIs.
• Take ownership of feature implementation end-to-end, from design to deployment.
• Test and debug system behaviour across multiple driving modes, screen states, and device configurations.
• Participate in code reviews and help establish and enforce code quality standards across the team.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or related fields.
• 3 to 6 years of experience in Android development projects.
• Exposure to in-car systems, embedded Android, or automotive Android development is a plus.
• Solid understanding of object-orientated programming principles.
• Proficiency in Java (mandatory) and C++ (basic to intermediate).
• Familiarity with Android project structure, build systems (Gradle), and common design patterns (MVVM/MVC).
• Good grasp of data structures and algorithms, especially sorting, searching, and collection handling.
• Experience with threading models, background tasks, and performance tuning on Android.
• Basic understanding of Android's service lifecycle, broadcast receivers, and custom views.
• Strong debugging skills using ADB, logcat, Android Profiler, etc.
• Experience working in Agile teams and contributing to sprint planning or architecture discussions is a plus.
