Senior Android Developer (freelance)

In short If you're a Senior Android Developer who knows BLE inside out and isn't afraid of code that talks to physical things, we want to talk. You'd join us on a freelance, time & material basis: you're paid for the hours you actually work on real client projects. The first three months are about figuring out if we're a good match. When things work out, and that depends on the work itself, the project pipeline, and business timing, there's a real path to our core team with a permanent contract and full benefits. Why intent? We've been designing and co-creating connected devices since 2008. Wearables, smart audio, health-tech hardware for clients like Oura and BOSE, backed by investors like a16z and Founders Fund. We're 60+ people, fully remote, and AI-native since before LinkedIn influencers discovered the term. We use AI every day, in actual work, not just in company decks. If your Kotlin has ever made a physical device do something it couldn't do before, you already get why we love what we do. Who this role is NOT for If you like being told exactly what to build every morning, opening Jira, closing Jira, and logging off at 17:01, we're probably not your people. We look for engineers who ask "why" before "how", challenge assumptions, and occasionally break things because they were trying something new. We're AI-native and we expect you to treat AI as a daily multiplier, not a gimmick. What we expect: ownership of what you touch, straight talk when things get complicated, and the kind of curiosity that makes you actually care about the device on the other end of your Bluetooth connection. What you'll do Design, build, and maintain Android apps that communicate with hardware peripherals over BLE Write performant, reusable, and reliable Kotlin code, the kind people don't dread inheriting Take part in specifying, planning, and estimating new modules and features Cover your code with unit tests and keep a TDD mindset where it makes sense Review pull requests and give y
