A.R.O., Inc. (pronounced ay-ar-oh) is a slightly stealthy Seattle-based startup dedicated
to building apps that can help users lead happier, healthier, and generally more
amazing lives. We believe that today’s apps can be positive forces for change –
whether it’s changing one’s own habits and behaviors, figuring out something new to do
on a Saturday night, or taking small steps to make the world a better place to hang out
in for a while.
We’re passionate about location awareness, big data, artificial intelligence, persuasive
technology, and ubiquitous computing. We also love mobile devices of all sorts, whether
they’re smartphones, tablets, cybernetic implants, or even wearable computers.
As an Android Engineer on the Client Team, you will focus on building out technology
that squeezes every bit of information out of the device-sensors. You’ll solve problems
like automatically determining users’ home and work without pesky check-ins. You’ll
take on challenges such as determining users’ routines to present alternatives and
insight (e.g., “When you leave work at 5pm it takes you 25 minutes longer to get home
than when you leave at 5:30pm”)… and that’s just the beginning.
If you are passionate about building software products, expect more from your apps
(and you should), and are fearlessly pursuing your dreams, we want to hear from you!

* A behemoth (our keyboards aren’t big enough)
