Job description

Senior Android Software Engineer - SDK, API, and OTA

This range is provided by Skylight. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience talk with your recruiter to learn more.

Base pay range

$170,000.00 / yr - $210,000.00 / yr

This might be the perfect role for you if you are excited by :

  • Working on Android software that is shipped directly to our custom hardware rather than a typical mobile application
  • Digging into APIs and SDKs close to AOSP and firmware while keeping your responsibilities in the application layer (it's a great chance to expand your knowledge and learn new things!)
  • Being one of the first people to get access to early prototypes and test units of new hardware
  • Having input on the CPU, memory, and other specs that will be included
  • Contributing to the development and roadmap for a major piece of our tech stack (our in-house OTA utility)
  • Driving much of your own roadmap (TONS of autonomy)
  • Building a product that our customers genuinely love because it solves real, everyday problems for busy families and those with neurodivergent kids (the ADHD and Autism communities are among our biggest fans)

Summary

Skylight's mission is to build the OS of the family. We make consumer products, like Skylight Frame and Skylight Calendar, that are loved by millions of people across the globe. Through a singular focus on care for our customers, Skylight has scaled from a school project to over $180M in annual revenue while being completely bootstrapped.

Our ideal candidate is a deeply experienced Android engineer with expert-level command of Android App development, Kotlin, and Clean architecture (MVVM). But more than that, they're experienced in working on low-level APIs, navigating AOSP, and implementing Android solutions for custom hardware.

Responsibilities

  • Work alongside a Firmware engineer and our PM of Hardware, writing Kotlin in our APK to implement solutions and solve problems that support new and existing custom hardware
  • Support our utility app for health checks and new version installations (our custom OTA app updater)
  • Implement and refine Wi-Fi and Bluetooth workflows, including scanning, pairing, and connection logic
  • Adhere to best practices in our Android build and deployment processes
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to develop and implement new features for our Android application
  • Write high-quality, reusable, and maintainable code in Kotlin following MVVM and Clean Architecture patterns
  • Develop and maintain a comprehensive test suite to ensure the quality and stability of the application
  • Optimize application performance and improve the user experience
  • Ensure that our Android architecture enables scaling both our team and user base
  • Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to improve code quality
  • Contribute to processes for monitoring performance, device logs, and exceptions
  • Requirements

  • 6+ years of native Android development experience
  • Deep expertise in Kotlin and the Android SDK
  • Strong grasp of Android architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture)
  • Experience working near the AOSP layer or with custom hardware
  • Hands-on experience with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth APIs, including connectivity and pairing flows
  • Solid understanding of release management and OTA workflows
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
  • Ability to collaborate well with a fully remote team
  • Passion for learning and staying current with Android trends
  • Bonus : Experience with Jetpack Compose
  • Benefits

  • Competitive Salary + Equity Package
  • 401K matching
  • Wellness, learning, and home-office budgets
  • Health, Dental & Vision Medical Plans
  • Tremendous autonomy to set the direction of your work
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Company holidays on the first Friday of every month
