Job Description
We are looking for an adaptable, skilled Linux and Android OS Software Engineer. Our team works on a variety of tasks, requiring a willingness to tackle whatever area of expertise our systems require.
On any given day, you may get the opportunity to work through all the layers of the Android software architecture including the Linux kernel, bootloaders, filesystems, cellular modem stack, Android framework, and applications.
This is more than a gig. People stay with our organization a long time because of the meaningful, interesting work that we do. Our engineers love a challenge, get to work in small teams and make systems do amazing things they were never designed to do.
We build custom products for a variety of customers. We are the experts; our customers come to us with their challenges, and they look to us to propose innovative solutions.
