Mobile Engineer (Android / C++) - User Platform

We are looking for an experienced engineer to help us build the key device analysis capabilities across the Android ecosystem. This role focuses on deep, systems-level engineering to design and implement a cutting-edge security solution. Your primary responsibility will be to maximize the collection of high-entropy device signals while implementing a multi-layered defense against OS-level compromise, all within the bounds of Google's policies.

What You'll Do

• Take full ownership of implementing our device identification solution on the Android platform, including phones, tablets, Android TV, and Wear OS.
• Implement robust, multi-layered root detection techniques to identify and defend against OS-level compromise.
• Integrate with Google Play Services, particularly the Play Integrity API, to assess device and application integrity verdicts.
• Be a part of a cross functional team - collaborating closely to ensure the Android implementation is secure, performant, and aligned with the team's overall strategy.
• Analyse the available data using tools like BigQuery to find patterns, analyse impact and improve our offering.
• Work across the stack using diverse technologies like C++, Kotlin, Java and Scala.
  
  

Who You Are

• You have a deep command of Android's internal architecture, including the SDK, PackageManager, and system properties, going far beyond standard app development.
• You have working experience with C++ and Kotlin.
• You are an inclusive colleague who thrives in a collaborative environment.
• You can pick up new skills to unblock yourself and improve the impact you deliver.
• You have a desire to drive business impact
• You proactively keep up with current best practices in your areas of expertise
  
  

Where You'll Be

• This role will ideally be located in the UK, Sweden, or potentially one of our other EMEA locations *excluding France for now due to on-call restrictions.
• We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
