About Us
We’re a group of designers, developers and general tech tinkerers who have come together to make future interfaces simpler and more helpful. We’re based by the sea down in Brighton, work with Tesco, Google, Intel, Swiftkey & others and we’ve been around for some 5 years now.
Oh, and we’ve just been voted one of the Top 50 Innovators in mobile by Mobile Entertainment, and nominated for Agency Of The Year 2011 by .Net mag.
Job Description
From day one, you’ll be writing code for our own radical in-house products and for high-profile, star-studded client projects. Along with designing and planning with fellow droids, you’ll have the ability to collaborate with designers to realise awesome experiences.
If you’re a London-based developer you should seriously consider quitting the smog and joining us! Hell, if you live anywhere outside of Brighton, you should consider making the move. On top of fresh sea air and a chilled beachy lifestyle, we offer a highly competitive salary. It’s worth thinking about.

We’re looking for someone with strong Android skills, specifically:
• Strong Android codebase brain
• Android ROMing (You’re able to build ROMs *almost* effortlessly)
• Very good Java skills
• Custom Views (canvas, bitmaps and graphics)
• Content resolvers (contacts, messages etc)
• Data storage
…and you’ll need some more general skills too! As with the other ribots, you’ll need a brain like a swiss army knife:
• UX basics
• Source control (git)
• Comfortable with command line
• Unit testing (Android-specific, preferably)
• CI
• Able to move across languages with ease
• Agile experience

OUYA has an awesome team of Android and Ruby-on-Rails engineers with experiences across web, game, and mobile development. We’re always looking to add to our San Francisco Bay Area based team.
Who we are
We’re disrupting console gaming by making the first open console. It uses Android, and our server is written with Rails, but starting to dip our toes into front-end frameworks like Angular.js.
Who you are
You’re an experienced and talented developer, taking great pride in your creativity and passion. You’re comfortable learning new technologies, but ideally have multiple years of experience with Android and/or Rails development. You love to own feature development, but also have no qualms spending days squashing bugs. You value learning and personal growth, and have both a breadth of skills as well as a depth of knowledge in a particular area. You love writing tests as much as writing code, and of course play well with others. You’re even more awesome if you’re a gamer.
What we want you to do
We’re working on lots of great features. Here are some things you might work on with us:
Customizing Android, digging into the framework itself
UI and Android app development
Streaming audio and video integration
Improving our application security
Continuing development on the auto-updating and patching software
Device diagnostic tool development
Analytics services for developers
Authoring sample games and documentation
Payment processing and billing
Recommendation systems
Community integrations
Database design and optimization
Customer-facing web development
Server management and scaling

About the Android Engineer
This isn’t just any Android engineer position, this is a fantastic opportunity to completely own the development of Enplug’s primary user-facing product! Our screens are built entirely on Android, and we’re looking for an enthusiastic Android engineer to lead the development of our application which shows interactive Enplug content across our network.
We’re looking for somebody who is passionate about the Android platform and is hungry for the opportunity to push its boundaries, venturing where no Android developer has dared to go before. We develop Android applications for our own dedicated hardware, so you don’t need to worry about the hassles of multiple screen sizes, legacy SDK versions, or device-specific quirks. Instead, you get to work with the tools of your choice in a sandbox of incredible Android creativity.
You’ll be a particularly good fit for leading this product if you have a mobile game development background or experience with 3D graphics APIs and libraries such as OpenGL ES and LibGDX <link http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/>. If you don’t already have that experience you’ll need to have the focus and drive necessary to pick it up. We place a heavy focus on providing a fun and engaging user experience, so we’re looking for somebody who shares our passion for building the best product possible. You’ll work closely with our design team to create one of the most interactive in-venue experiences the world has seen, so having a flare for product design yourself is a big plus.
People who meet us comment on our energy, dedication, and the passion we have for what we’re building. This is an opportunity to join and grow with one of LA’s top engineering teams, so we’re looking for somebody who is proud to bring their own unique vision and excitement to the table. At such a fast moving start up you’ll find opportunities rather than boundaries in every single role.
Skills and Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or commensurate experience
2+ years of experience in mobile programming in Android or iOS platforms
3+ years of Java development experience
Clear understanding of network protocols, multi-threading, and database management as they apply to the Android platform
Strong understanding of OOP, Eclipse or IntelliJ IDE, design patterns, etc
Knowledge of Android’s common software design patterns
Nice to Haves (Experience):
OpenGL or other canvas-based graphics APIs
Product development
Android OS - rooting, file system, etc
Scripting: bash, awk, and/or python
Git or another version control system
RESTful APIs and JSON
RabbitMQ or other message brokers
A unit testing framework such as JUnit
Design patterns such as dependency injection, pub/sub, inversion of control
Debugging, performance analysis, profiling, benchmarking
Perks:
Working out of the beautiful, iconic Variety Building in LA with all breakfasts, lunches, and dinners catered (plus unlimited snacks)
The most enthusiastic, hard-working co-workers you’ll ever have
Opportunity for partial or entirely remote working
Salary and meaningful equity compensation
Open vacation policy (we don’t count days)
Access to the top tier of LA’s startup network
Satisfaction of good and meaningful work, the results of which you can see in high-end venues throughout LA
