Senior Android Engineer, Connectivity

Our mission at Oura is to empower every person to own their inner potential. Our award-winning products help our global community gain a deeper knowledge of their readiness, activity, and sleep quality by using their Oura Ring and its connected app. We've helped millions of people understand and improve their health by providing daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.

Empowering the world starts with living our values and empowering our team. As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work — both in and out of the office. 

Our engineering organization consists of many talented Android and iOS app developers distributed across the EU and US. For day-to-day work, our engineers are organized into smaller cross-functional feature squads or system-level teams. These teams have a great deal of autonomy and are responsible for the development and architecture of their features and systems. They take full ownership of their code and handle everything from concepting, design, and implementation to release, maintenance, and bug fixes.

We are looking for a Senior Android Engineer to join our Connectivity team to collaboratively architect, design and develop lower-level functionality for the Oura Android app. This team works closely together with the Firmware and App Feature teams in the very essential interface between hardware and software. The responsibilities of the Connectivity team include - but are not limited to - developing our Bluetooth layer to enable efficient and secure communication between Oura ring and application along with implementing support for next generation products and maintaining the app-ring connectivity between millions of devices on the field. We care deeply about maintaining and upgrading our code base so that it is at the forefront of technology, and actively work to get rid of legacy implementations.

What You will do:

• Architect, design and build new features in the Connectivity team
• Collaborate closely with our Firmware and Platform teams
• Ensure consistency across our apps
• Keep an eye on where the Android world is going and actively prototype and try out new frameworks and ways of working that improve our productivity
• Work with us to develop systems to ensure we provide performant, maintainable apps and improve the developer experience as we scale

We would love to have You on our team, if You have:

• Passion for working with Bluetooth
• Experience on shipping and maintaining products using Android Bluetooth APIs or Bluetooth libraries
• A solid experience developing and shipping professional Android applications
• Mastery over Kotlin
• Good technical specification skills and understanding of complex systems and how they can be made maintainable and productive to work with
• An excellent understanding of both user interface level and application engine level challenges and SDK APIs
• Ability to convert ambiguous problems into solutions that can be implemented and shipped under your technical leadership 
• Pragmatic can-do attitude; shipping working software brings you joy
• Passion for the little things, in both engineering and UX
• Enjoy problem solving with people outside of your own domain

We also appreciate if You have knowledge on any of the following technologies:

• RxJava and reactive programming
• Coroutines and Flow framework
• Jetpack Compose
• Kotlin and functional programming
• Git workflows 
• C++
