Description:

This is a full time Senior Android Engineer opportunity based in West Los Angeles with an aviation AI technology company building real-time software to automate and optimize airfield operations. The role focuses on developing mission critical Android applications using Kotlin, modern Android frameworks, and cloud-connected systems that support intelligent, AI driven decision-making in fast-paced aviation environments.

The Android app is a core product not an afterthought and you'll have meaningful ownership over architecture and feature development. The team is looking for a senior engineer who enjoys solving complex, real-world problems and wants to see their work directly impact safety, efficiency, and the future of automated aviation operations. You'll gain exposure to AI-powered systems, work closely with product and design, and grow in an environment that values engineering craftsmanship, learning, and healthy work life balance.
