Newfire is seeking a Senior Android System Engineer What's the Project? Joining the team that is building a high-impact clinical software solution designed to modernize real-time communication within busy healthcare environments. Developed as a high-performance interactive application for large-format displays, it replaces traditional dry-erase boards with dynamic, centralized patient data, shift schedules, and key operational insights - running on custom Android devices we build, sign, and manage ourselves.
Candidates joining this project will tackle exciting engineering challenges at the intersection of custom AOSP builds, robust device-level integration, and over-the-air fleet management, collaborating closely with hardware/device partners to deliver the privileged, system-level capabilities the application depends on across a fleet of specialized display units. Build, sign, and maintain custom AOSP images; write patches (e.g., to mainline modules such as NetworkStack) and apply them to the OEM's RK-class tree Implement privileged, system-level capabilities: OTA apply via update_engine, remote reset, system log capture, input injection/screen capture, and device identity (mTLS / hardware attestation) Evaluate technical tradeoffs (e.g., Privileged App vs. Device Owner strategies, capture/injection approaches) and prototype solutions to inform core roadmap decisions Collaborate with hardware partners to implement device-level capabilities, privileged app permissions, and custom OS integrations; verify behavior on real devices Help maintain the Kotlin on-device agent and its integration with the MDM and our OTA / remote-management backend Participate in active sprint ceremonies, engage in peer code reviews, and work closely with product management and client engineering leads to execute on parallel technical tracks
