Principal Linux / Android Platform Developer

About

We’re hiring a Principal Linux / Android Platform Developer to join a highly respected engineering team building mission-critical communication devices used by emergency services, transport networks, and infrastructure organisations worldwide.

This isn’t app development. This is low-level, platform engineering on products that need to perform in the real world, where reliability is essential.

The Role

You’ll play a key role in developing and evolving Android-based embedded platforms used in next-generation communication devices.

This is a broad, hands-on platform role, working across Linux and Android to solve complex system-level challenges.

You’ll be involved in:

• Android platform development (AOSP)
• Linux kernel and system-level programming
• Platform configuration, optimisation and tuning
• Android framework and service-level changes
• Performance, latency and power optimisation
• Debugging, profiling and system analysis
• Integration, testing and issue resolution
• Contributing to technical design and architecture

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a strong engineer with experience across Linux and Android platform development, ideally within embedded or device-based environments.

Key skills:

• Strong understanding of Android internals and architecture
• Experience working with AOSP
• Solid Linux systems / kernel experience
• Strong C++ development skills
• Experience with embedded or battery-powered devices
• Experience optimising system performance and behaviour
