## About the role

Everything Taiv does runs through the Taiv box, the Android device we install behind TVs in bars and restaurants across North America. This role owns the software on it. Our boxes sit in AV racks in real venues and run every day in messy environments, where the equipment around them rarely behaves the way the spec says it will. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You’ve gone deep on Android. You’re comfortable in AOSP source and know what happens between an app call and the driver underneath it. You’ve shipped platform-level changes to real devices
- You’re at home in the kernel. Device trees, driver debugging, board bring-up, and the occasional kernel panic are all normal work for you
- You know multimedia end to end: how video gets captured, encoded, decoded, and displayed, and where latency hides in that path
- You debug with hardware on your desk. When the logs run out, you reach for a serial console or a logic analyzer
- You think in fleets. Watchdogs, staged rollouts, remote updates, and recovery paths come naturally because you’ve supported devices you can’t physically touch
- You work independently and own a problem from vague symptom all the way to shipped fix
