Greenlight is the leading family fintech company on a mission to help parents raise financially smart kids. They are looking for a Staff Android Systems Engineer to lead the development of Android-based products running on custom hardware. This is a hands-on, application-heavy role for someone with deep Android OS knowledge and the instincts to take a young codebase to production maturity.

Requirements

  • BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent
  • 8 to 12 years of software engineering experience, with significant depth in Android platform or systems engineering rather than app-layer development
  • AOSP fluency: you've navigated the source tree, worked with OEM or vendor teams, and can answer questions the documentation doesn't
  • Deep understanding of Android's security model including sandboxing, system app privileges, the threat surface of privileged IPC, and how the same APK can behave differently across devices
  • Hands-on experience with update mechanisms from application-level updates through system-level OTA, with enough depth to have a credible technical conversation with a vendor about tradeoffs
  • Comfort with adb shell as a real debugging environment and experience with system-level diagnostic tools and tracing to diagnose problems that never surface in Android Studio
  • Experience shipping products where WebView is the primary UI surface, not a fallback
  • A track record of building or significantly evolving Android CI/CD pipelines, with opinions on signing key hygiene, artifact provenance, and device-in-the-loop testing
  • Experience designing device telemetry and fleet health systems, especially in constrained environments
  • A quality-first mindset and the ability to champion best practices in testing, observability, and release confidence
  • Strong communication skills so you can translate deep technical findings for non-technical stakeholders and lead across engineering, QA, and leadership
  • Genuine excitement about AI and a habit of applying it to real engineering problems

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, and HSA match
  • Paid life insurance, AD&D, and disability benefits
