TL;DR · Software Engineer - Mobile, Android

Join our dynamic team as an Android Engineer, where you will play a pivotal role in architecting and building real-time, map-based user interfaces for sensor data interaction and aircraft control through the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) plugin ecosystem. Your responsibilities include defining APIs for network communications, implementing high-performance backend technologies like Java/Kotlin/C++/Rust/Golang, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of Ghost, Altius, and Bolt aircraft systems. You will leverage Jetpack Compose and other cutting-edge tools while adhering to rigorous testing standards across simulations and live flight assets. Ideal candidates possess experience in developing complex UI applications, proficiency in modern Android programming languages, and a background in client/server networking technologies. Familiarity with 3D geospatial analysis software and aviation-related systems is preferred, as well as the ability to support clients on call and travel extensively for demonstrations and evaluations.

What you'll do

  • Design and build real-time, map-based user interfaces for Android applications.
  • Implement APIs for network communications and full motion video streaming in Android apps.
  • Define software architectures and UX workflows for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
  • Work with Jetpack Compose and backend technologies like Java/Kotlin/C++/Rust/Golang.
  • Test and evaluate software using simulations, benchtop hardware, and live flight assets.

What we're looking for

  • Experience developing software for high-traffic, data-intensive user interface applications.
  • Proficiency with Jetpack Compose, Java, Kotlin, and modern backend languages like C++, Rust, or Golang.
  • Familiarity with client/server networking technologies including TCP/UDP/Multicast, HTTP (REST), protobuf/gRPC.
  • Proven ability to balance ideal user experience with practical engineering constraints in software development.
  • Willingness to provide on-call support and travel up to 30% of the time, potentially internationally.
  • Secret security clearance required.
  • Exposure to build systems like CMake, Cargo, gradle, NixOS, CircleCI, Docker, and developer operations tools.
