• Develop and maintain features across supported Android environments.
• Build clear and reliable workflows for mission planning, control, monitoring, and accessing media, images and video streams.

• Review code, mentor developers, and validate behavior with development and test partners.

Qualifications:

• Strong Android development experience with Kotlin. Additional experience with C++, Python, or Go is a plus.
• Experience with mobile architecture, state management, asynchronous work, and testing.
• Experience integrating mobile applications with networked devices or backend services is valuable.
