We're hiring an Android OS Engineer to help build the operating systems behind next-generation AR/VR devices. This is deep technical work across Android internals, AOSP integrations, system frameworks, and performance-critical components. If you enjoy working close to the metal and shaping the foundations of immersive hardware, you'll feel at home here.


What's on offer

  • Annual Salary from £98,000-£110,000 doe and location, paid weekly via Principle HR
  • Fully remote within the UK (must already be UK-based with full right to work)
  • 6-month PAYE contract, inside IR35, strong potential to extend
  • Opportunity to work on OS components that ship on market-leading AR/VR products


What you'll work on

  • Integrate new Android/AOSP releases into custom AR/VR system frameworks
  • Build, debug and optimise OS-level services, APIs and internal infrastructure
  • Work with engineering teams across the UK and Europe on system design and stability
  • Contribute to performance profiling, low-level debugging and system tooling
  • Support the evolution of a complex, large-scale Android-based platform


What we're looking for

  • 6+ years' software engineering experience
  • Strong background in Android internals, AOSP, frameworks or OS-level development
  • Proficiency in C++ and Java (Kotlin useful but not essential)
  • Experience building or maintaining system components rather than apps
  • Exposure to embedded, device-level or resource-constrained environments beneficial


If you'd like to work on real AR/VR system software that reaches millions of users, apply with your CV and I'll be in touch to discuss the next steps. Som |
