Native Android / iOS Developer
Posted Updated
Description
The core responsibilities for the job include the following:
SDK Engineering:
- Build and maintain native Android (Kotlin/Java) and iOS (Swift/Objective-C) SDKs used by bank, fintech, and startup apps.
- Own SDK architecture, versioning, and backward compatibility across partner and OS versions.
- Optimize SDK size, cold-start latency, and memory footprint.
- Write integration docs, sample apps, and support tooling for partner teams.
Device Security and Anti-Fraud:
- Build and harden root/jailbreak, emulator, debugger, and hooking-framework detection (Frida, Xposed, Cydia Substrate).
- Build device fingerprinting for fraud and risk signals.
- Implement RASP: obfuscation, tamper detection, integrity checks, and anti-repackaging.
- Track emerging bypass techniques and patch proactively.
- Feed device signals into the fraud detection engine, working with the security and ML teams.
Platform and Ecosystem:
- Work fluently across Android (Kotlin, NDK where relevant) and iOS (Swift, Objective-C).
- Integrate biometrics, Android Keystore, iOS Keychain/Secure Enclave, Play Integrity API, and App Attest.
- Define secure SDK-to-server protocols: token exchange, certificate pinning, replay protection.
- Support partner integration, testing, and certification directly.
Quality, Release, and Support:
- Test across a wide matrix of real devices, OS versions, and manufacturers.
- Own crash-free rate, ANR rate, and SDK stability in production.
- Build and maintain CI/CD for SDK builds, testing, and staged rollouts.
- Provide L2/L3 support for partner integration issues.
Requirements:
- 2-6 years of hands-on native mobile development experience (Android and/or iOS). Strong depth on one platform with working knowledge of the other is fine.
- Proven experience building and shipping SDKs (not just apps) consumed by external partners, with an understanding of versioning, backward compatibility, and public API design.
- Solid understanding of device security fundamentals: root/jailbreak detection, anti-tampering, code obfuscation.
- Working knowledge of device fingerprinting techniques and privacy-conscious identity signal generation.
- Familiarity with RASP concepts and implementation: runtime integrity checks, hooking/injection detection.
- Strong grasp of platform security primitives: Android Keystore / Play Integrity API, iOS Keychain / Secure Enclave / App Attest.
- Comfort working across Kotlin/Java (Android) and/or Swift/Objective-C (iOS).
- Experience debugging across a wide range of real devices and OS versions, not just emulators.
Good to Have:
- Experience with obfuscation/protection tooling (ProGuard/R8, DexGuard, iXGuard, or similar).
- Familiarity with the reverse-engineering tools attackers use (Frida, Xposed, Cydia Substrate, jadx, and Hopper), since understanding offense sharpens defense.
- Experience integrating with banking or fintech apps, or working under RBI/PCI-DSS-adjacent constraints.
- NDK/C++ experience on Android, or low-level iOS security work.
- Experience with certificate pinning, mutual TLS, or other secure-transport hardening.
- Contribution to a published SDK/library with real external developer adoption.
