Android Architect
OLOID · Sunnyvale, in office · Full time · $155,000 to $195,000 base
A new Sunnyvale tech hub, built from day one
We are building a brand new tech hub in Sunnyvale, and you would be one of its founding hires, reporting into our core executive team. It is a lean team, so you own a workflow end to end and have real influence over your scope of work, how the team is built and who joins next.
Frontline teams increasingly work on managed, shared and rugged Android devices, and every one has to know who is holding it, clean up after the last person and behave under kiosk policy. We want an Android Architect who designs it and builds it.
Why now
2027 is a big year for us. Revenue is up 600 percent since our Series A and we are going after seven figure enterprise deals. Microsoft retires SMS and voice MFA in Entra ID in February 2027, which pushes every enterprise toward exactly what we build. Healthcare is our next big market, and Aura, our AI identity assurance agent, is already part of Workday’s Agent System of Record. The Sunnyvale hub is where that next chapter gets built, and the people who join now are the ones who shape it.
Is this you?
Be honest with yourself on this one: it is not for the faint hearted. You will wear many hats, move between building, fixing and talking to customers, and make calls without a playbook to lean on. If you have worked in a high growth environment and bring a growth mindset, you will thrive here, and you will be part of building something at a genuinely exciting moment.
Why OLOID
OLOID builds passwordless identity for the 1.8 billion people who work on the frontline: the nurse, the line worker, the store associate who moves between shared workstations all shift, often with no work smartphone. They sign in with a face, a badge tap or NFC, on Windows, Linux and Android, layered onto Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping Identity and the systems a company already runs. Tyson Foods, PepsiCo, GE, Takeda, Flex and Honeywell are customers, and we are backed by Dell Technologies Capital, Okta Ventures and Honeywell Ventures.
