This hybrid role offers competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for professional growth.

- Proven experience as a technical lead with a track record of setting strategic technical direction and delivering concrete solutions for complex, multi-team domains
- Exceptional communication and cross-functional leadership skills, capable of influencing without direct authority to build alignment across Product, UX, Systems Engineering, and Hardware teams
- Deep expertise spanning the modern application and embedded stack, specifically involving Android OS internals, C++ native layers, and modern UI frameworks (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose), as well as complementary backend systems
- Experience working with Android/AOSP (building Android platform features, frameworks), not just developing apps on top of Android
- Familiarity with automotive context with Android
- Experience establishing frameworks for third-party experiences
- Experience integrating new hardware features into an extensible framework for 1P and 3P usage
