Senior Android Platform Engineer (AOSP)

Senior Android Platform Engineer (AOSP)

About Us
We’re Kommit, a tech staffing company with over 15 years of experience connecting Latin American talent with US-based companies.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Android Platform Engineer to join a US-based client building several AOSP-based Android products.

What You’ll Be Doing
• Build and maintain system and privileged AOSP apps
• Develop platform-integrated apps such as the launcher, settings, and setup wizard
• Build and flash Android images to hardware
• Develop interfaces with D-pad navigation
• Debug and optimize performance on resource-constrained devices

Requirements
• Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields
• 5+ years of Android development in Kotlin and/or Java
• Experience building system or privileged apps within an AOSP source tree
• Experience with the AOSP build system (repo, Soong/Android.bp) and flashing images to hardware
• Strong understanding of the Android framework (services, Binder, permissions model, system APIs)
• Strong debugging skills (adb, logcat, dumpsys, Perfetto, ANR and memory analysis)
• Experience with resource-constrained embedded devices
• English level B2+
• Based in Latin America, with availability to overlap with US hours

Don't meet every requirement? We still encourage you to apply. However, hands-on experience building apps within the AOSP source tree is essential. Experience limited to Play Store app development does not meet the requirements for this role.

Nice to Have
• Customized core system apps (launcher, Settings, setup wizard, SystemUI)
• Experience with non-touch UI development

Compensation & Contract Type
• Hourly rate: 35USD per hour
• Contract type: Contractor (Full-time dedication of 40 hours per week)
