Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer with strong expertise in modern C++, Linux/Android, and AOSP/embedded Android development.
This role requires an engineer who is comfortable working across the technology stack, from device-level native software and Android system services to backend services, telemetry, diagnostics, and data analysis.
The ideal candidate has strong engineering fundamentals, a quality-first mindset, and the ability to independently own complex technical problems from investigation through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, debug, and maintain C++17+ software on Linux and Android platforms.
Develop and troubleshoot AOSP/embedded Android components, including native services, AIDL/Binder IPC, system properties, SELinux, and Android build systems.
Build highly testable software using gtest/gmock, mocks, automation, and robust test strategies.
Develop thread-safe applications involving concurrency, IPC, shared memory, and synchronization.
Work across device and backend layers using C++, Hack/PHP, Python, Java, or Kotlin.
Use SQL to analyze large datasets, including joins, aggregations, and percentile-based analysis.
Create automation and engineering tools using Python and shell scripting.
Investigate device logs, crashes, telemetry, performance issues, and production failures.
Participate in code reviews, Git-based development, multi-branch releases, and production/on-call support.
Own technical issues end-to-end and communicate progress, risks, and blockers proactively.
Use AI-assisted development tools effectively for coding, testing, debugging, and engineering productivity.
Required Qualifications
10+ years of professional software development experience with modern C++ (C++17 or later).




Strong development experience on Linux and/or Android.
Hands-on experience with AOSP or embedded Android, including:
Native services
AIDL / Binder
ADB
System properties
Strong unit-testing experience with gtest/gmock.
Solid understanding of multithreading, mutexes, concurrency, IPC, and shared state.
Backend programming experience in Hack/PHP, Python, Java, or Kotlin, with willingness to work regularly in Hack/PHP.
Solid SQL and data-analysis skills.
Experience with Python and shell scripting for automation.
Proficiency with Git, code reviews, cherry-picks, and multi-branch development/release workflows.
Strong written communication and ability to work independently.
Ability to work primarily during Pacific business hours, including flexibility for on-call handoffs and launch-critical activities.
Preferred Qualifications
Telemetry, logging, or analytics pipeline experience, including protobuf, serialization, sampling, batching, and data uploads.
Android/Linux crash diagnostics experience with tombstones, minidumps, symbolication, bug reports, or log collection.
Backend development experience with Hack/PHP, Thrift/g RPC, or protobuf.
Experience developing dashboards, monitoring, and alerting for event or time-series data.
Experience supporting production services, including on-call, incident triage, monitoring, and incident follow-up.
Android/i OS companion-app or device-to-phone end-to-end automation experience.
Experience with performance benchmarking, memory analysis, and resource-constrained devices.
Practical experience using AI coding tools to accelerate engineering and test development.
What We're Looking For
A solid candidate will be a hands-on, full-stack systems engineer who can move comfortably between:
The engineer should demonstrate strong ownership, disciplined testing, proactive communication, and careful handling of sensitive devices, diagnostic, and user data.
