About Sesame

Sesame believes in a future where computers are lifelike - with the ability to see, hear, and collaborate with us in ways that feel natural and human. With this vision, we're designing a new kind of computer, focused on making voice companions part of our daily lives. Our team brings together founders from Oculus and Ubiquity6, alongside proven leaders from Meta, Google, and Apple, with deep expertise spanning hardware and software. Join us in shaping a future where computers truly come alive.

Responsibilities

  • Build Sesame’s standalone companion app, the foundation for a new consumer product category, on a team that cares deeply about craft and quality.
  • Provide leadership on modern Android UI and UX best practices, creating interactions that feel naturally Android.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, design, and product to ship complex features that genuinely delight users.
  • Partner with other Android, iOS, and web engineers to help shape the long-term mobile and web strategy for Sesame.

Required Qualifications

  • Strong intuition and well-formed opinions about Android app design, UI, and UX, and modern mobile aesthetics; you know how to create experiences that feel native to the platform.
  • A portfolio of beautiful, useful Android apps that you built or played a major role in.
  • You care deeply about building products people genuinely love; understanding what motivates users and turning that into thoughtful interactions feels natural to you.
  • The engineering challenge of crafting fast, fluid, and inventive Android interfaces excites you; you enjoy sweating the details that make an interaction feel effortless.
  • You have an intuitive sense for performance; you know where Android apps tend to stall or stutter, and you are persistent about smoothing things out, whether the issue is in the UI layer, the network stack, the app architecture, or device-specific quirks across different OEMs.
  • You stay plugged into the Android ecosystem, and you naturally think about how upcoming platform capabilities or tooling improvements could elevate the experience.
  • Hands-on experience with the full mobile development lifecycle : release trains, test strategy, device-matrix testing, and modern Android architecture patterns such as unidirectional data flow, MVVM, and coroutine-based async programming.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Jetpack Compose or other modern declarative UI frameworks.
  • Familiarity with Jetpack libraries and modern tooling in the Android ecosystem.
  • Experience with real-time communication, including WebRTC, WebSockets, audio and video codecs, or other low-latency media pipelines.
  • Expertise in managing battery and performance tradeoffs in complex applications, including those that handle media, sensors, or background workloads.
  • Experience integrating BLE peripherals on Android and navigating the device-specific quirks that come with it.
  • Graphics and shader experience, such as OpenGL, Vulkan, or other GPU-accelerated rendering work.
  • Contributions to open source Android projects or a strong personal portfolio of polished Android applications.
  • Experience building consumer AI products.
  • Experience solving uniquely Android problems at scale, including device fragmentation, manufacturer-specific behaviors, and widely varying performance profiles.
  • Sesame is committed to a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered. We welcome all qualified applicants, embracing diversity in race, gender, identity, orientation, ability, and more. We provide reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities—contact careers@sesame.com for assistance.

  • 401k matching
  • 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental benefits
  • Unlimited PTO and sick time
  • Flexible spending account matching (medical FSA)
  • Benefits do not apply to contingent / contract workers
