Job Description

Vacancy Status:
This posting is for an existing vacancy within the organization and is open to new applications. (Backfill)

AI Disclosure:

As part of the application process, Artificial Intelligence will be used in the hiring process for this role

Hybrid :
This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Markham Elevation Center three times per week, at minimum [or other frequency dictated by the business] .

About the role:

The Staff Android Developer – Infotainment is a senior technical leader responsible for designing, building, and evolving in-vehicle Android applications and platform components that power our infotainment experiences. This role sets technical direction for a product area, drives cross-team alignment, and raises the bar for Android engineering quality across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

Own end-to-end design and implementation of complex Android infotainment features and services, from requirements through deployment and maintenance.

Define and evolve application and system architectures (e.g., modularization, data contracts, error handling, state management) across multiple apps and services.

Lead technical investigations and resolution of complex issues involving Android framework, vehicle services, vendor stacks, and hardware constraints.

Partner with Product, UX, Systems, and Platform teams to translate PRDs and system requirements into robust Android designs.

Guide the adoption of best practices for performance, stability, observability, and testability in an in-vehicle environment.

Mentor and coach other engineers, providing guidance on design reviews, code quality, and debugging strategies.

Influence platform and toolchain decisions (Android version upgrades, AGP/JDK/Kotlin moves, CI/CD, quality gates) and drive their rollout.

Collaborate with Tier-1/SOC vendors and internal platform teams on Android bring-up, integration, and certification topics.

Core Technical Requirements:

8–10+ years of professional Android development experience, including shipping and operating large, complex apps or system components in production.

Strong proficiency in Kotlin and Java; comfort with C++/ Golang for performance-critical or legacy components.

Deep understanding of Android internals and app architecture:

Components, lifecycles, concurrency, permissions, multi- process and multi-user behavior.

Modern patterns such as MVVM and Clean Architecture, with a focus on testability and clear boundaries.

Development experience in 3D Filament/Unreal/Unity/OpenGL ES/Vulkan

Experience with large, modular Gradle-based Android codebases (multi-module projects, shared libraries, feature flags) and usage of AI (Curson/Claude) in development .

Android Automotive / Infotainment Experience :

Hands-on experience building applications or middleware for Android Automotive or other embedded/IVI systems.

Familiarity with AAOS/AOSP for automotive:

Framework services, CarService , VHAL/ CarProperty , and profile/user models.

Platform constraints and safety/distraction considerations for in-vehicle UIs.

Experience integrating infotainment apps with:

Vehicle signals and services (e.g., vehicle data, profiles, settings).

Audio, media, Bluetooth, connectivity, navigation, or projection stacks (Android Auto, CarPlay).

System Design, Performance, and Reliability:

Proven ability to design scalable, maintainable architectures that work under tight CPU, memory, storage, and boot-time constraints.

Experience analyzing and improving performance (startup time, rendering, memory, threading) in resource-constrained or real-time environments.

Strong debugging skills across the Android stack (logs, traces, ANRs, crashes, binder issues, resource leaks).

Platform, Build, and Tooling:

Deep experience with Gradle, Android Gradle Plugin, and Android SDK/NDK tooling (build optimization, dependency management, reproducible builds).

Proven experience contributing to multi-release Android platform upgrades (e.g., 2+ major version jumps):

Resolving API and behavior changes.

Updating AGP/JDK/Kotlin and SDK/ build-tools .

Coordinating regression-fix efforts across multiple teams.

Comfortable working directly with AOSP-style trees and manifests (repo, branches, rebases, vendor drops).

Quality, Testing, and Observability:

Strong background in automated testing:

Unit tests (JUnit), instrumentation/UI tests (Espresso), and integration tests.

Testable design and dependency injection for Android components.

Experience with code-quality and static-analysis tooling (e.g., lint, coverage, SonarQube or equivalent) and integrating them into CI pipelines.

Ability to define logging, metrics, and analytics strategies suited for in-vehicle systems with intermittent connectivity and strict safety/privacy requirements.

Leadership and Collaboration :

Demonstrated track record of technical leadership:

Setting technical direction for a domain or product area.

Driving alignment across multiple feature or platform teams.

Experience mentoring senior and mid-level engineers; raising code and design-review standards.

Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with Product, UX, Systems, DevOps, QA, and external partners.

Clear, concise communication of complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

Experience with Google Automotive Services (GAS), certification requirements, or xTS (CTS/VTS/XTS) test suites.

Background in safety- or security-sensitive domains (e.g., automotive, aerospace, medical devices) with relevant coding or process standards.

Familiarity with virtualization or bench-based development and testing workflows for infotainment systems.

Education and Training

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Software Engineering.

Compensation:
The salary range for this role is $147,000 to $196,600. The actual base salary a successful candidate will be offered within this range will vary based on factors relevant to the position.
