How to Hire Top Android Things Specialists

ANDROID THINGS SPECIALISTS

What is Android Things? 

Android Things is an Android-based platform for developing IoT (Internet of Things) devices. In February 2019, Google announced that Android Things would be refocused as a platform for developing smart speakers and smart displays.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in Android Things professionals:

  • Android Things
  • Android app development (e.g., Java, Kotlin)
  • Embedded systems development (e.g., C, C++)
  • Smart speakers and smart displays

Why do you want to hire Android Things specialists?

The trick to finding top Android Things specialists is to identify your needs. Is your goal to prototype an IoT device idea using Raspberry Pi and Android Things? Or are you an OEM looking to provide a mobile app interface for your new line of smart speakers? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

HOW TO HIRE ANDROID THINGS SPECIALISTS

Android Things provides low-level I/O APIs and libraries for common components such as display controllers and motion sensors. Android Things developers can help you make your own smart displays and speakers.

So how do you hire Android Things specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top Android Things specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist Android Things professionals

As you’re browsing available Android Things consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Technology fit. You want an Android Things specialist who understands the technologies needed to bring your project to life.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., designing I/O peripherals for a smart TV).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular Android Things specialist.

How to write an effective Android Things job post

With a clear picture of your ideal Android Things specialist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a freelancer to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective Android Things job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From smart speakers to smart displays, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, technologies, or developer tools, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

FAQS FOR HIRING ANDROID THINGS SPECIALISTS

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire an Android Things specialist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced Android Things specialist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A freelancer who is still in the process of building a client base may price their Android Things services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.

How long should you contract an Android Things specialist to complete your project?

As difficult as it is to estimate how long you will need an Android Things specialist, budgeting time is very important to keeping your project on track.
