Senior/Architect Android Developer ( OpenGL)

A-LISTWARE is seeking a Senior/Architect Android Developer to work for a global technology company developing real-time video augmentation and rendering infrastructure. The role focuses on designing and implementing native video playback extensions that augment HLS streams across multiple platforms using OpenGL and advanced rendering techniques.

• Design and implement native video playback extensions that augment HLS streams at runtime across platforms including Android (ExoPlayer), webOS, Roku, and others
• Build and maintain cross-platform rendering layer using OpenGL for real-time video frame processing and compositing
• Integrate GPU-based overlays and visual transformations directly into playback pipeline with frame-accurate synchronization
• Develop device-aware architecture to handle platform-specific decoding, rendering surfaces, hardware acceleration constraints, and performance tuning
• Integrate external SDKs and APIs alongside internal AR/graphics processing pipeline
• Optimize rendering performance, memory usage, and latency under real-time streaming constraints
• Collaborate with QA and Product teams to validate rendering accuracy, synchronization precision, and cross-device stability

• Strong experience with Kotlin
• Strong hands-on experience with OpenGL (mandatory core skill), including shader programming and GPU pipeline understanding
• Solid knowledge of real-time rendering concepts including frame buffers, textures, shaders, synchronization, and GPU/CPU interaction
• Experience integrating OpenGL with native video playback surfaces
• Practical experience with HLS streaming internals and playback customization
• Strong understanding of video decoding/rendering pipelines and frame timing control
• Experience with native video players on at least one platform: Android (ExoPlayer), webOS, or RokuTV
• Experience implementing low-latency video overlays and graphical composition
• Understanding of hardware acceleration and performance optimization on embedded/TV devices
• Proven background in full-cycle software engineering including integration, profiling, debugging, and optimization
• English Upper-Intermediate or higher
