What are the responsibilities and job description for the Android Software Engineering Intern position at Brivo?
Department: Engineering - Access
Location: Bethesda
Brivo is seeking a motivated, tech-savvy Android Engineering Intern to join our mobile development organization. In this role, you will help us build and improve premium native experiences for our flagship Android apps.
We are a forward-thinking team that embraces modern developer workflows. You will not only write code that impacts real users, but you will also actively use and help optimize our usage of AI-assisted development tools (like Claude Code) to accelerate feature delivery, debug faster, and write cleaner code. You will be paired with experienced Android engineers who will mentor you, review your code, and help you grow your skills in a fast-paced agile environment.
In this role you are expected to:
- Write secure, well-documented, and efficient Kotlin code for our Android applications.
- Actively utilize AI coding assistants (such as Claude Code, or similar LLM-based CLI tools) to generate boilerplate, refactor code, and accelerate your day-to-day development workflow.
- Assist in building out UI components using Jetpack Compose and traditional XML layouts.
- Work within established Android architectures like MVVM and Clean Architecture.
- Collaborate with Senior and Mid-Level engineers on bug fixes, performance improvements, and new feature development.
- Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and code reviews.
- Write unit tests to ensure code reliability and quality.
“Mobile First” is at the core of Brivo’s success in access control and facility management. We build mobile experiences that unlock doors, adjust the thermostat, sign-in visitors, and manage facilities. You will integrate into our existing, high-performing US mobile team, collaborating closely with experienced Android engineers, iOS engineers, and QA to deliver impactful features.
About You
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent bootcamp/self-taught experience).
- Solid understanding of object-oriented programming and core computer science principles (data structures, algorithms).
- Hands-on academic or personal project experience with native Android development using Kotlin and Android Studio.
- Working knowledge of AI developer tools: You are comfortable using tools like Claude Code, Gemini, or Copilot to assist in your development process, and you understand how to write effective prompts to troubleshoot or generate code.
- Understanding of the Android lifecycle, basic UI components, and data persistence.
- Familiarity with version control systems, specifically Git.
- A strong willingness to learn, ask questions, and accept constructive feedback during code reviews.
- Excellent communication skills and a highly collaborative, low-ego mindset.
Optional experience to make you stand out:
- Experience with modern Android UI development using Jetpack Compose.
- A personal Android project or app published on the Google Play Store.
- Familiarity with networking concepts (REST APIs, JSON parsing using Retrofit/Gson/Moshi).
- Basic understanding of wireless data-transfer technologies (Bluetooth/BLE, NFC).
- Experience writing prompts or scripts to automate development tasks using Anthropic's Claude APIs or CLI tools.
