Summary:
We’re building a digital signage platform that runs across Android, webOS, and Tizen devices, and we need a senior Android engineer with real embedded/signage experience to help us level it up.
The Work:
Media playback, device management, content delivery, and platform reliability across a fleet of long-running devices. This is device platform engineering, not mobile app development.
If you’ve built signage or smart TV software at scale — especially on signageos.io — please mention it up front in your proposal.
Must-have Experience:
•
Strong Android development in Kotlin
•
Experience building for digital signage, smart TV, streaming devices, kiosks, or similar embedded media platforms
•
Comfort with concurrency, async, multithreading, and debugging race conditions and memory issues
•
Experience building for 24/7 device uptime
Nice to Have:
•
Experience with the signageos.io platform
•
Android SoC work (Amlogic, Rockchip, Qualcomm, MediaTek)
•
Media3 / ExoPlayer, hardware decoders, video playback pipelines webOS or Tizen
•
MDM / fleet management, MQTT
•
Performance tuning on constrained hardware
