Newfire is seeking a Senior Android System Engineer

What's the Project?

Join the team that is building a high-impact clinical software solution designed to modernize real-time communication within busy healthcare environments. Developed as a high-performance interactive application for large-format displays, it replaces traditional dry-erase boards with dynamic, centralized patient data, shift schedules, and key operational insights. Candidates joining this project will tackle exciting engineering challenges at the intersection of complex UI/UX and robust device-level integration, and will collaborate with hardware/device partners to ensure the application seamlessly integrates with specialized display units and system-level permissions

Your day-to-day activities

• Develop, test, and maintain high-performance code for interactive large-format displays and bedside TV applications
• Collaborate with hardware partners to implement device-level capabilities, privileged app permissions, and custom OS integrations (such as remote resets and log capture)
• Evaluate technical tradeoffs (e.g., Privileged App vs. Device Owner strategies) and prototype solutions to inform core roadmap decisions
• Refine UI responsiveness, layout performance, and real-time data sync across complex touchscreens and digital display interfaces
• Participate in active sprint ceremonies, engage in peer code reviews, and work closely with product management and client engineering leads to execute on parallel technical tracks

You’re a perfect match if you have

• 5+ years of experience building production Android applications using modern architecture patterns (MVVM/MVI, Jetpack, Coroutines, Flow)
• Hands-on experience working with custom Android builds (AOSP), system apps, platform-signed certificates, or custom firmware configurations
• Experience implementing Privileged Apps, Device Owner configurations, Device Policy Manager APIs, remote factory resets, and system-level log capture
• MDM & Fleet Management: understanding of Mobile Device Management (MDM) protocols & enterprise deployment workflows for managed hardware fleets
• Proven capability interfacing directly with device OEMs/manufacturers to debug SDKs, system permissions, and hardware-software integration constraints
• Track record of driving technical research spikes, evaluating low-level architectural tradeoffs, and presenting clear recommendations to stakeholders
• Strong understanding of REST architecture & OOP principles/design
• Clear, confident verbal & written communication skills to collaborate directly with cross-functional product and engineering stakeholders

Nice to have:

• Healthcare Domain Knowledge: familiarity with clinical environments, EHR integrations, or healthcare compliance standards (HIPAA)

Please note that employment will be contingent upon providing documentation verifying your legal work authorization in the country of residence, in accordance with applicable law.
