Staff/Senior Android Engineer

Argentina

About the Company

Ambient combines a decade of operational experience with design and engineering prowess to improve apartment living and management in the most impactful, cost-effective way possible.

The name "Ambient" embodies our vision to create a category-defining platform that seamlessly integrates smart technology into the built environment and transforms the way people live, visit, and work in multifamily communities. Our focus is on increasing the value of multifamily properties by making them more efficient to operate and more comfortable to live in.

 

Overview

We’re looking for a Staff or Senior Android Engineer to take a leading role in shaping the mobile experience for our residents. Our Android app is the primary interface residents use to control smart devices in their communities and their units — lights, locks, thermostats, and more — giving this role a direct and substantial impact on how people live in Ambient-powered communities.

You’ll own core parts of the Android codebase and help define our mobile architecture as the platform evolves. While Android will be your primary focus, we value engineers who can flex across platforms when needed — including occasional contributions to iOS for cross-platform alignment.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who combines deep technical expertise with strong product instincts. We’re looking for a strategic thinker and creative problem solver — someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, collaborates well across disciplines, and consistently pushes for elegant, scalable and clean solutions. You’ll work closely with design, product, and backend teams to bring new features to life and continuously improve the quality, performance, code coverage and reliability of our mobile platform.

 

 Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain core features of our Android applications, with occasional contributions to our iOS app
  • Collaborate with product and design to shape intuitive and thoughtful user experiences
  • Provide guidance and suggestions to product on newly added features available for the android ecosystem
  • Drive coordination with backend teams to define APIs, manage data contracts, and ensure seamless end-to-end feature delivery
  • Improve and evolve our mobile engineering practices — including build systems, automated testing, code quality, and release processes
  • Define mobile architecture, observability, and security standards to support performance, scale, and device integrations
  • Mentor other engineers through code reviews, technical design sessions, and pairing
  • Champion clean, maintainable, and well-documented code across the mobile stack

 

Qualifications

  • 8-12 years of experience building and maintaining native Android applications, including 2+ years operating at a senior or staff level
  • Strong proficiency in Kotlin and deep familiarity with Android fundamentals, including Jetpack Compose and MVVM architecture
  • Comfortable working in Swift and contributing to iOS codebases when needed
  • Strong grasp of mobile engineering best practices, including modularization, performance optimization, CI/CD, unit testing and app observability
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to define APIs, shape user experiences, and deliver high-quality mobile features
  • Familiarity with mobile design systems, custom UI components, and responsive layouts
  • A bias for execution, the ability to work independently to solve problems, and a track record of driving projects from design to delivery
  • A deep understanding of computer science and software engineering fundamentals
  • Ability to quickly iterate without compromising on quality or maintainability
  • Nice-to-have: Experience integrating with smart home devices or hardware protocols (e.g., BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave)

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
