The role we are looking for is for a senior android engineer on a new 3rd team, which will build infrastracture for the other teams in the group. things like: handling pre-installation process with mobile OEMs (such as Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi etc..), handling android permissions requirements, handling network data and connections, handling BI etc...

The group is using a very modern development process and tools, but since this is a product that has to be quite close to the android AOSP (low-level), lean and efficient, they are not working in Kotlin and try to avoid using 3rd party libraries.
for example for network connectivity they are not using Retrofit, but using their own code.
