Summary

This is a full time Senior Android Engineer opportunity based in West Los Angeles with an aviation AI technology company building real-time software to automate and optimize airfield operations. The role focuses on developing mission critical Android applications using Kotlin, modern Android frameworks, and cloud-connected systems that support intelligent, AI driven decision-making in fast-paced aviation environments.

This is not a typical mobile role. You'll be building software used on the ground at airports where performance, reliability, and real-time data truly matter. The Android app is a core product not an afterthought and you'll have meaningful ownership over architecture and feature development. The team is looking for a senior engineer who enjoys solving complex, real-world problems and wants to see their work directly impact safety, efficiency, and the future of automated aviation operations. You'll gain exposure to AI-powered systems, work closely with product and design, and grow in an environment that values engineering craftsmanship, learning, and healthy work life balance.

4+ years of professional experience in Android development
Strong expertise in Kotlin and the Android SDK
Experience with Android architectural patterns such as MVVM, MVI, or similar
Experience interfacing with RESTful APIs, including error handling and offline caching strategies
Experience with unit and UI testing using tools such as JUnit, Espresso, and Appium

Desired Skills & Experience
Familiarity with Jetpack Compose and modern Android development practices
Experience building applications for real time, operational, or mission-critical environments
Experience optimizing performance, battery usage, and network reliability
Exposure to AI-driven, data-intensive, or aviation-related systems
