• Proficiency in multithreading and concurrency using Kotlin Coroutines and/or RxJava.
• Hands-on experience with Android Studio and Gradle.
• Strong expertise in Android Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and Android system services.
• Practical experience with concurrency challenges, including race conditions, deadlocks, and thread synchronization.
• Experience with unit testing and software debugging tools.
• Understanding of the full software development lifecycle, from design and implementation to testing and maintenance.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies, including Scrum and Kanban, and established software engineering practices.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to evaluate technical alternatives and propose solutions aligned with business objectives.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Self-motivated, well-organized, detail-oriented, and able to work independently as well as within a team.
• Creativity, initiative, and a strong willingness to take ownership of technical challenges.
• English proficiency at Upper-Intermediate level (B2) or higher.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.

Nice to Have

• Good understanding of Android Automotive platform architecture.
• Familiarity with media casting technologies, including Google Cast and Apple AirPlay.
• Experience with bug-tracking tools such as Jira or Bugzilla.
• Proficiency with Git, including branching strategies, pull requests, and release tagging.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions.
• Experience with build management tools such as CMake and Make.
• Scripting experience with Python and Bash.
• Experience creating and maintaining technical documentation.
