* 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
