Sr. Android Developer with AR

We are looking for a Senior Android Developer with deep ARCore expertise to drive the next generation of CASABOT® AR-powered AI Home™ experience. You will architect, build, and scale our native Android app, combining high-performance AR, modern Android engineering, and real-time smart home integrations. If you have already shipped a production ARCore-based application, we want you. This role is central to our vision of redefining how people interact with their homes using immersive spatial interfaces.

Key Responsibilities
• Lead the development of CASABOT's Android application with a heavy AR focus (ARCore + custom 3D UI).
• Implement scalable, high-performance AR features: tracking, environment understanding, anchors, rendering, occlusion, depth APIs.
• Architect clean, maintainable Android codebases (Kotlin-first).
• Work hand-in-hand with iOS, AI, IoT, and Design teams to bring 3D interactions, gestures, and smart-home automations to life.
• Ensure seamless integration between AR UI and device controls (IoT APIs, real-time WebSockets, automation flows).
• Optimize performance across rendering, memory, threading, and networking.
• Write reliable tests and maintain a high-quality codebase (unit, integration, UI testing).

Requirements
• 5-10+ years of Android development (Kotlin required, Java optional).
• Hands-on experience building and shipping at least one production ARCore application.
• Strong understanding of: - ARCore (tracking, session config, anchors, planes, hit tests) - 3D rendering pipelines on Android
• Experience with 3D UI, spatial interactions, and the differences between classic Material UI and immersive interfaces.
• Solid understanding of real-time rendering, 3D math, transformations, textures, shaders.
• Experience building apps that interact with IoT devices or real-time APIs (WebSockets, MQTT, automation systems).
• Ability to architect modular, scalable app structures (MVVM / Clean Architecture).
• Mandatory experience with Firebase (FCM push notifications, Analytics, Crashlytics; Remote Config is a plus).

Nice to Have
• Experience with Unity or Unreal Engine for mobile AR.
• Knowledge of advanced AR concepts such as gesture recognition and depth/occlusion techniques.
• Familiarity with smart home ecosystems and device protocols.
• Experience developing for Wear OS, home screen widgets, and Android TV.

Benefits
• A unique opportunity to define the Android AR experience of the world's first AI Home platform.
• A fast, founder-mindset environment where your work directly shapes the product.
• Competitive salary + ESOP participation.
• Flexible work setup - Dubai HQ or remote.
• Direct collaboration with visionary founders, iOS leadership, and top AR/AI specialists.
