Today, achieving true control over the mobile software supply chain comes at a prohibitive cost: giving up convenience and access to modern app ecosystems. This creates structural risks for governments, critical infrastructure, and enterprises that depend on smartphones to operate securely. Even for individuals seeking greater control and more privacy, the only option today is to abandon everyday usability by running a phone with an alternative operating system — a trade-off few can realistically afford to make.At Soverli, we are on a mission to eliminate this trade-off by making digital freedom and sovereignty on smartphones convenient and accessible to everyone. We are building a patent-pending platform that enables multiple, fully isolated operating environments to run in parallel on smartphones. This unlocks true privacy, freedom, and security — without compromise: users retain the complete Android experience for everyday use and can switch, in milliseconds and at the press of a button, to a customizable, private operating system they fully own and control. By rethinking how operating systems can coexist on mobile devices, we are laying the foundation for a new wave of secure, privacy-focused, and user-centric mobile innovation.Your roleAs an AOSP engineer at Soverli, you will shape how Android behaves in a system where multiple OS instances coexist securely on one smartphone.
