I'm not looking for someone who simply wants to work through a queue of tickets. I want someone who enjoys solving difficult technical problems, can challenge decisions when they see a better approach, and is comfortable taking ownership of major parts of a system. A major focus of the role will be our Android/mobile cloud infrastructure, including orchestration of cloud-hosted Android environments, device communication, automation, AI agents, APIs, and scaling the platform as usage grows. You will also help us maintain and improve the Windows and macOS versions of MAS. What You'll Work On * Android and mobile cloud infrastructure * Cloud-hosted Android environments and device orchestration * AI agents that interact with Android applications and devices * AWS infrastructure and distributed systems * Python and TypeScript services and tooling * APIs and SDKs for controlling and automating devices * Containers and workload execution infrastructure * Windows and macOS desktop development * Performance, reliability, monitoring, and production debugging * Architecture and technical decisions as the platform scales What I'm Looking For * Approximately 6-10+ years of professional software engineering experience * Strong software architecture and problem-solving skills * Strong experience with Python, TypeScript, or similar languages * Experience with AWS, cloud infrastructure, containers, or distributed systems * Experience designing and owning systems from development through production * Strong debugging skills and the ability to work through unfamiliar systems * Good communication and reliability * Comfortable working independently and communicating quickly when blocked * Interested in having substantial ownership in an early-stage company Especially Useful Experience Experience in any of the following would be particularly valuable: * Android, ADB, Android emulators, or mobile infrastructure * Cloud device infrastructure or device farms * AWS ECS, Fargate, EC2, networking, or similar infrastructure * Docker and container orchestration * AI agents or LLM-based application development * Cross-platform desktop applications * macOS development, packaging, signing, or debugging * Developer tools, APIs, or SDKs * Automation systems Strong macOS experience is especially useful because most of my own background is on Windows. ## Description Macro Automation Studio (MAS) is building automation infrastructure for Android and mobile cloud environments. Our platform allows users and developers to control, automate, and run workloads across local and cloud-hosted Android devices. We are currently expanding our cloud infrastructure and building AI agents capable of interacting directly with Android applications and devices. MAS includes a cross-platform desktop application for Windows and macOS, cloud-hosted Android environments, APIs, SDKs, automation tooling, and infrastructure for managing devices at scale. We are a small, early-stage team, so this role will have significant influence over both the product and the technical direction of the company., I'm looking for an experienced software engineer who can work closely with me on the architecture and development of MAS. ## Related Videos - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Celery on AWS ECS - the art of background tasks & continuous deployment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/561-celery-on-aws-ecs-the-art-of-background-tasks-continuous-deployment) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Empowering Thousands of Developers: Our Journey to an Internal Developer Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1519-empowering-thousands-of-developers-our-journey-to-an-internal-developer-platform) - [Tips, Techniques, and Common Pitfalls Debugging Kafka](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/838-tips-techniques-and-common-pitfalls-debugging-kafka) - [Microservices: how to get started with Spring Boot and Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/242-microservices-how-to-get-started-with-spring-boot-and-kubernetes) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [How we Build The Software of Tomorrow](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/120-how-we-build-the-software-of-tomorrow) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
