Job description

The Problem
As Flock expands our fleet of custom devices across thousands of communities, building headless operating systems that run continuously in the field requires extreme system-level reliability. Operating without standard UI components or app store frameworks means our hardware relies entirely on custom system services and low-level IPC architecture. You will engineer core system services, optimize device hardware abstractions, and build the custom Android framework powering our long-term field deployments.
