Overview
We are establishing a new team focused on developing and enhancing Android Framework components, specifically SystemUI and Homescreen, for our client's In‑Vehicle Android Infotainment (IVI) systems. The team aims to understand user interactions with information and vehicle infrastructure to shape the future IVI experience for 2026 and beyond. We build a software foundation leveraging open‑source technologies and modern CI/CD practices, delivering continuous deployment directly into the vehicle. The project follows agile principles and is scaled across a large, multi‑hundred‑person team.
Luxoft is a leading software services company delivering professional solutions across sectors such as Finance, Automotive, and Digital Transformation.
