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
