ANDROID SOFTWARE ENGINEER — AGENTIC AI PLATFORM

Onsite or remote • San Francisco+5💼 Full-time🗓 2026-06-24

Core

Building an agentic AI platform for wearable hardware and a companion Android mobile app, focusing on novel interaction surfaces without traditional UI paradigms.

Role type

Senior Android Software Engineer (Wearables & Agentic AI)

Builds

A standard Android mobile app, an AOSP-based client for wearable hardware, and the agent interaction surface for wearables.

Domain

Consumer AI, Extended Reality, Wearable Technology

Deliverable

production ML models | product features

Required skills

Android engineering, AOSP development, RTOS transition planning, platform architecture, on-device processing, firmware integration

Preferred skills

Experience with AI development tools (Cursor, Claude, Copilot), cross-platform development (iOS parity)

Technologies

Android, AOSP, RTOS, iOS

Responsibilities

Build a standard Android mobile app at feature parity with iOS, develop an AOSP-based client for wearable hardware, define agent interaction surfaces for non-touchscreen devices, design platform architecture for AOSP to RTOS transition, integrate with firmware teams, implement on-device processing to minimize cloud dependency.

Seniority

Senior, hands-on IC

## About the role We're building the operating system for the next generation of computing — one where AI agents replace apps and your technology finally works for you instead of the other way around. We're a stealth-mode startup with a world-class founding team with deep roots in consumer AI, extended reality, and wearable technology — including founders of some of the most recognizable hardware and software platforms of the last decade. We're backed by strategic partnerships with leading silicon and manufacturing companies, and we're hiring our first mobile engineers to build the client experience from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to build a genuinely novel Android experience — not a phone app, but a platform designed from the start to live on your face. Additional product details shared under NDA. ## THE ROLE This is not a standard Android engineering role. You will be working across two surfaces simultaneously — a standard Android mobile app that mirrors an iOS experience, and an AOSP-based custom Android build running on wearable hardware. You will be making foundational decisions about how an agentic AI platform feels and behaves in a wearable form factor — a problem that has no established conventions and very few reference points. You should also know that the wearable platform will expand from AOSP to RTOS asap. The right candidate for this role is excited by that transition rather than daunted by it — someone who thinks about platform architecture and is comfortable moving between layers of the stack as the hardware evolves. You will work directly with the CEO and a small, high-trust engineering team across Silicon Valley, Paris, including close collaboration with a China-based firmware team who own the hardware bring-up. We actively use AI development tools across our engineering team — Cursor, Claude, Copilot — and expect engineers who use them seriously as a core part of their workflow. ## WHAT YOU'LL BUILD - A standard Android mobile app at feature parity with our existing iOS experience — bringing the Agentic OS to Android users with the same interaction quality and design integrity - An AOSP-based client for wearable hardware — building the application layer on top of a custom Android stack running on a constrained wearable form factor - The agent interaction surface for wearables — defining what it means to interact with an always-on AI when there is no touchscreen, no keyboard, and no conventional UI paradigm to fall back on - A platform architecture that is designed to survive the transition from AOSP to RTOS — thinking ahead so that the work done today does not need to be discarded when the platform evolves - Close integration with the firmware team — bridging the application layer and the hardware bring-up work happening in Shenzhen - On-device processing integrations — working to minimize cloud dependency and maximize what runs locally on constrained hardware ## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 4+ years of Android engineering experience with
