Job
Description:

We
are seeking an experienced Android Full-Stack Engineer to join our platform
stability team. In this role, you will be responsible for diagnosing,
debugging, and resolving complex Android stability issues spanning the entire
Android stack—both above (System Partition) and below (Vendor Partition) the
Treble boundary.

You
will work deep within Android framework internals, reverse-engineering issues
from source code, providing technical direction for ambiguous problems, and
ensuring overall platform robustness across Android version upgrades.

This

least-understood problems in the Android ecosystem.

Key
Responsibilities:

• 
  Design
  and develop middleware and Android background services for platform-level
  functionality

  (AOSP) source code Own overall Android platform stability and reliability
• 
  Resolve
  Android upgrade and integration issues across releases
• 
  Diagnose
  and fix bugs in system_server components (Activity Manager, Window Manager,
  Package Manager, etc.), Car Service, and SurfaceFlinger
•

  extending services like Activity Manager, Package Manager) as part of resolving
  platform stability issues.
• 
  C++
  – Candidate should have hands-on experience debugging and modifying native
  Android components (e.g., SurfaceFlinger, HAL layers, vendor partition code) in
  C++, including reverse-engineering issues directly from AOSP nativeopen source
  code.

  Java
  – Candidate should be able to read, debug, and modify Java-based Android
  framework code (system_server internals such as Window Manager, Activity
  Manager) to diagnose and resolve issues like ANRs, boot failures, and black

Required:

• 
  3+
  years of hands-on Android platform/framework development experience.
• 
  Proven
  experience in designing and developing middleware and Android background
  services (long-running/foreground service) that expose feature-rich interfaces
  (AIDL/Binder, APIs) to applications.
• 
  Demonstrated
  track record of resolving complex, low-level Android stability issues.
• 
  Experience
  contributing to or modifying AOSP source code
•
