Android Systems Engineer, Consumer DevicesActive$216K–$342K

The opportunity

The Consumer Devices team is building a new generation of AI-native experiences that bring OpenAI’s technology closer to people throughout their day.

What you'll do

  • Build deeply integrated Android experiences: Design and implement product experiences that take advantage of Android platform capabilities.

  • Work across the Android platform: Develop against Android framework and system APIs, system services, lifecycle and background execution primitives, inter-process communication, permissions, notifications, intents, and other platform capabilities.

  • Unlock device capabilities: Identify and use capabilities such as audio, camera, sensors, connectivity, location, notifications, credentials, and other device signals to enable useful, context-aware AI experiences.

  • Build agentic mobile experiences: Develop systems that allow AI-powered experiences to help users complete multi-step tasks and coordinate actions across applications, services, and device functionality.

  • Create scalable abstractions: Turn device-specific capabilities into well-designed platform layers and reusable components that can support multiple Android devices, OEMs, form factors, and product experiences.

  • Prototype new interaction models: Rapidly explore new Android capabilities, APIs, and device features to understand what is technically possible and help shape product direction.

What they're looking for

  • Own experiences end to end: Take ideas from early technical exploration through architecture, implementation, testing, launch, and iteration in production.
  • Build for reliability and performance: Ensure experiences remain fast, power-efficient, resilient, and reliable across a diverse Android device ecosystem.
  • Design for privacy and security: Carefully handle permissions, user data, device access, authentication, and system capabilities while maintaining clear user control and trust.
  • Partner across disciplines: Work closely with product, design, research, backend, AI, systems, and partner engineering teams to turn emerging AI capabilities into cohesive consumer experiences.
