Job description

  • Designing and developing new features for predictive maintenance for the Android platform to anticipate hardware failures (e.g., battery degradation, storage corruption, overheating), software glitches, or performance bottlenecks.
  • Architect, implement, and maintain the end-to-end stack-from the device kernel (data acquisition) to the cloud (model training/serving) and the Android application (user feedback/alerts).
  • Utilise real-time device data, advanced analytics, and machine learning models to accurately anticipate potential failures, degradation, or performance bottlenecks before they impact the user experience.
  • Take ownership of both the Android (Frontend) components, including user-facing predictive diagnostics and actionable insights, and the Backend infrastructure (Microservices) necessary for large-scale data ingestion, model serving, and continuous learning.
  • Clean and manage large datasets for model training.
  • Version, track, package, and deploy models into a production environment, treating ML models as first-class citizens in a CI/CD pipeline.
  • Unit and integration testing code for robustness, including edge cases, usability, and general reliability.
  • Bug fixing and improving application performance.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.
  • Working with data sources and APIs.
  • Continuously discovering, evaluating, and implementing new technologies to maximise development efficiency.
