Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We partner with leading AI labs and robotics companies to deliver high-quality, real-world datasets used to train, evaluate, and deploy robotic systems — where model performance is dictated by data quality.
The RoleWe are hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Mobile to build high-scale, high-reliability, compute-heavy mobile systems for real-world recording and robotics.
This is a senior role with end-to-end ownership across iOS and Android. You will build recording workflows for camera devices (performance, stability, and correctness under real constraints), and you will work on custom Android systems used in robotics and field deployments.
What You’ll Work OnCompute-Heavy Recording WorkflowsBuild and optimize camera + recording pipelines (performance, thermal constraints, memory, battery, disk, concurrency).
Own correctness and reliability for long-running, real-world capture sessions.
Architect and ship mobile features end-to-end, with high engineering rigor.
Build testing, release, monitoring, and debugging systems that keep the product stable as it scales.
Work on Android systems that run in non-standard, hardware-adjacent environments.
Debug issues that cross boundaries: app ↔ OS ↔ device ↔ networking.
Improve crash-free rate, startup time, media performance, and behavior under poor connectivity.
Build guardrails: retries, offline-first patterns, resumable uploads, and safe data integrity guarantees.
7+ years of software engineering experience (or equivalent impact).
Strong experience shipping production iOS and Android apps with high reliability and performance requirements.
Deep debugging skills across devices, OS versions, media stacks, and networking.
Strong Signals
You’ve built compute-heavy mobile apps (camera, media, AR, robotics, mapping, or similarly performance-sensitive systems).
You’ve shipped mobile systems that run long sessions reliably (hours), not just short interactions.
You’ve worked with custom Android builds/devices or hardware-adjacent Android systems.
Build mobile systems that directly power real-world data capture and robotics operations.
High ownership, fast iteration, and direct product impact.
