ABOUT

We are reimagining the phone. AI phones need to be proactive, intuitive, intelligent and low cost. This is a mission critical for rest of the world to adopt intelligence.

There are over 5 billion people using everyday applications such as email, messaging, notes, tasks, and calendars, yet most are not AI-native. Our mission is to build proactive applications and devices that bring intelligence into daily conversations, coordination and workflows, with minimal prompting.

Focus: Android OS, custom ROM, system architecture and hardware integration.

- Evaluate Android platform limitations and identify what needs to be modified or extended.

- Work with hardware vendors / ODMs on device integration.

- Lead Android platform engineering and establish technical standards.

- Evaluate technical feasibility and trade-offs for the first phone.

REQUIREMENTS

- Deep understanding of Android Framework, System Services and Android internals.

- Experience with Binder IPC, Android permissions, SELinux and system processes.

- Strong Java / Kotlin and C++ knowledge.

- Experience building or modifying Android ROMs.
