What You'll Do

Build new features and maintain our Android app for rugged Zebra handhelds.
• Work in a multi module code base
• Write clean, reliable Kotlin and Jetpack Compose code that interacts with RFID, barcode, and sensor data.
• Implement offline data handling, local caching, and secure storage.
• Work with our backend (.NET) and frontend (Vue.js) teams to ensure seamless app syncing and user experience.
• Help test and troubleshoot edge-case device issues in the field.
• Participate in code reviews, technical planning, and quality improvements as part of a tight-knit dev team.

What We're Looking For

• 2-5 years of experience building Android applications with Kotlin, coroutines, and flows.
• Strong understanding of how Jetpack Compose works (Recomposition, stability, performance tuning).
• Experience implementing Dagger Hilt dependency injection and Android Room database solutions for offline-first architecture.
• Interest in working with hardware integrations (RFID, barcode scanning, etc.).
• Strong debugging skills and attention to details.
• Use unit, UI, and instrumentation tests to ensure reliability and stability in rugged hardware contexts, including edge-case deployment environments where stability is critical.
• Willingness to learn about cybersecurity, app hardening, and DoD deployment constraints.
• US. Citizenship required. Ability to obtain a Secret clearance.

Bonus Points For

• Demonstrable expertise in designing modular architectures that optimize build times, ensure scalability, and streamline library management.
• Experience managing devices and profiles within a MDM.
• Experience with Zebra handhelds or Zebra SDKs.
• Exposure to RMF/ATO, app hardening, or IL4/5 environments.
• Familiarity with RFID workflows or asset tracking use cases.
• Past work with secure, rugged mobile applications in industrial or defense settings.

Why This Role Matters

You'll help build tools that warfighters and logisticians rely on to keep operations moving. Every tag scanned, every asset tracked, your code makes that happen.
