Full Job Description
The Role

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Mobile to build high-scale, high-reliability, compute-heavy mobile systems for real-world recording and robotics.

This is a senior role with end-to-end ownership across iOS and Android. You will build recording workflows for camera devices (performance, stability, and correctness under real constraints), and you will work on custom Android systems used in robotics and field deployments.
What You'll Work On
Compute-Heavy Recording Workflows
  • Build and optimize camera + recording pipelines (performance, thermal constraints, memory, battery, disk, concurrency).
  • Own correctness and reliability for long-running, real-world capture sessions.
iOS + Android at Production Scale
  • Architect and ship mobile features end-to-end, with high engineering rigor.
  • Build testing, release, monitoring, and debugging systems that keep the product stable as it scales.
Custom Android Systems (Robotics)
  • Work on Android systems that run in non-standard, hardware-adjacent environments.
  • Debug issues that cross boundaries: app ↔ OS ↔ device ↔ networking.
Reliability in the Real World
  • Improve crash-free rate, startup time, media performance, and behavior under poor connectivity.
  • Build guardrails: retries, offline-first patterns, resumable uploads, and safe data integrity guarantees.
Who You Are
Required Background
  • 7+ years of software engineering experience (or equivalent impact).
  • Strong experience shipping production iOS and Android apps with high reliability and performance requirements.
  • Deep debugging skills across devices, OS versions, media stacks, and networking.

Strong Signals
  • You've built compute-heavy mobile apps (camera, media, AR, robotics, mapping, or similarly performance-sensitive systems).
  • You've shipped mobile systems that run long sessions reliably (hours), not just short interactions.
  • You've worked with custom Android builds/devices or hardware-adjacent Android systems.
Why This Role
  • Build mobile systems that directly power real-world data capture and robotics operations.
  • High ownership, fast iteration, and direct product impact.
