We are building a next-generation lightweight AR smart glasses product focused on AI-powered text rendering and real-time subtitle experiences.

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Android Developer to lead the development of the companion Android application and manage integration with hardware SDKs provided by ODM partners.

This is a high-impact role working at the intersection of mobile software, BLE communication, AI APIs, and wearable hardware.

What You’ll Be Building
  • Android companion app for smart glasses
  • BLE connection layer with AR hardware
  • Real-time AI → text → overlay pipeline
  • Display formatting engine optimized for small near-eye displays
  • Hardware abstraction layer for SDK integration
  • Debug, logging, and hardware fault handling systems
Key Responsibilities
  • Design and build the Android application architecture from scratch
  • Integrate and manage BLE communication with smart glasses
  • Work with ODM-provided SDKs and hardware documentation
  • Build mock hardware layers for early development
  • Optimize latency for real-time subtitle rendering
  • Implement robust connection handling and retry logic
  • Collaborate with firmware engineers and hardware partners
  • Structure code for future iOS and backend expansion
Required Skills
  • 5+ years of Android development experience
  • Strong Kotlin expertise
  • Experience with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) integration
  • Experience working with hardware SDKs or IoT devices
  • Understanding of async programming and concurrency
  • Experience building modular, scalable app architectures
  • Familiarity with REST APIs and AI API integration
  • Strong debugging skills
Nice to Have
  • Experience with AR, wearable devices, or smart glasses
  • Experience with near-eye display constraints
  • Knowledge of firmware communication protocols
  • Experience building companion apps for hardware products
  • Startup experience
What We’re Looking For
  • Someone comfortable with ambiguous early-stage environments
  • Strong systems thinking (not just UI-focused)
  • Ability to structure development in phases
  • Comfortable owning technical direction
  • Ability to work independently and move fast
Engagement Model
  • Contract / Consulting (Phase 1: POC Build)
  • Remote
