About The Role

HP is seeking an Android OS Software Developer to build and maintain operating-system solutions for HP products. In this full-time role, you will develop and integrate HP-specific Android platform capabilities that support enterprise and retail customers. You will work across the Android stack to improve device management, platform security, software deployment and servicing, and integration with retail peripherals. Success in this role depends on hands-on platform development expertise, thoughtful problem-solving, and effective collaboration with teams and external partners across the product lifecycle.

Qualifications

A four-year or graduate degree in computer science, information systems, or a related discipline is preferred; equivalent professional experience or demonstrated competence may also be considered. Candidates typically bring 7–10 years of experience in software development, programming, applications engineering, or a related field. Practical experience developing Android platform or system-level software is important. Familiarity with Kotlin, Java, C++, or Python is valuable, as is knowledge of Android Enterprise, OEMConfig, provisioning, zero-touch enrollment, and mobile device or unified endpoint management platforms.

Relevant technical knowledge may include Android security concepts such as SELinux, verified boot, secure boot, and signing; compatibility and security test suites such as CTS, VTS, GTS, or STS; and platform technologies including HAL, 4t7k, Binder IPC, native services, and Linux device drivers. Experience with retail or point-of-sale peripherals, JPOS or UnifiedPOS, and collaboration with ODMs, chipset vendors, peripheral manufacturers, or software partners is an advantage. HP also values clear communication, customer focus, results orientation, learning agility, and digital fluency.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, integrate, and maintain Android OS components and HP-specific system services that extend Android Open Source Project capabilities. Build device-management features for enterprise configuration, provisioning, policy enforcement, telemetry, and integration with MDM and UEM solutions. Develop security capabilities that help protect platform integrity, system services, data, and trusted software execution.

Create and enhance standardized peripheral interfaces and services to simplify application integration across devices. Use Android debugging and analysis tools to investigate failures, performance concerns, compatibility issues, and security defects, and apply evidence-based root-cause analysis to resolve them. Contribute to architecture and design reviews, code reviews, test planning, and release-readiness activities. Prepare technical documentation for architecture, interfaces, configuration, development, testing, and troubleshooting.

Partner with hardware, firmware, security, quality, product, and engineering teams, as well as ODMs, silicon vendors, peripheral suppliers, and independent software vendors. Help deliver maintainable, well-tested Android capabilities for long-lived commercial products, including platform features such as OEMConfig, provisioning and OS-management tools, HP signing, restricted root access, peripheral firmware updates, and JPOS-based frameworks.
