Job description

Overview

We’re hiring an Android Engineer to join our growing mobile team. You’ll work alongside our principal engineer and backend platform teams to build and improve our RFID mobile app for Zebra Android devices.

This is a hands‑on engineering role where you’ll write Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, integrate hardware SDKs, and help us ship secure, stable features into production. You’ll work on real‑world device interactions like barcode scanning, RFID reads, and offline caching, all while learning how to develop within DoD environments.

Remote (U.S. Based) | Some Travel Required

• Strong understanding of how Jetpack Compose works (Recomposition, stability, performance tuning).
• Experience implementing Dagger Hilt dependency injection and Android Room database solutions for offline‑first architecture.
• Interest in working with hardware integrations (RFID, barcode scanning, etc.).
• Strong debugging skills and attention to details.
• Use unit, UI, and instrumentation tests to ensure reliability and stability in rugged hardware contexts, including edge‑case deployment environments where stability is critical.
• Willingness to learn about cybersecurity, app hardening, and DoD deployment constraints.
• US. Citizenship required. Ability to obtain a Secret clearance.

Bonus Points For

• Demonstrable expertise in designing modular architectures that optimize build times, ensure scalability, and streamline library management.

• Familiarity with RFID workflows or asset tracking use cases.
• Past work with secure, rugged mobile applications in industrial or defense settings.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll help build tools that warfighters and logisticians rely on to keep operations moving. Every tag scanned, every asset tracked, your code makes that happen.
