Software Engineer (Android)
Summary
Thales is seeking an Android Mobile Engineer to develop secure Identity & Access Management (IAM) mobile applications and SDKs. The role involves leveraging AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining rigorous security standards and human-led code reviews.
Thales is a global technology leader trusted by governments, institutions, and enterprises to tackle their most demanding challenges. From quantum applications and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity and 6G innovation, our solutions empower critical decisions rooted in human intelligence. Operating at the forefront of aerospace and space, cybersecurity and digital identity, we're driven by a mission to build a future we can all trust.
In Singapore, Thales has been a trusted partner since 1973, originally focused on aerospace activities in the Asia-Pacific region. With 2,000 employees across three local sites, we deliver cutting-edge solutions across aerospace (including air traffic management), defence and security, and digital identity and cybersecurity sectors. Together, we're shaping the future by enabling customers to make pivotal decisions that safeguard communities and power progress.
Thales CDI (Cyber-Security Products) is hiring a Mobile Engineer (Android) to build IAM (Identity & Access Management) mobile apps and SDKs. You will help deliver secure, easy-to-integrate authentication experiences where security is nonnegotiable.
You will work in a small, high-impact team and use AI responsibly to accelerate delivery-while applying strong engineering judgment and human-led security review in a securitycritical environment.
Responsibilities Design ,
build
and
validate
mobile apps and SDKs use
AI-assisted tooling
to accelerate delivery with
mandatory human-led security review . Implement
secure
authentication
and
identity verification
flows (protocol-driven) validate designs against platform
threat models . Own
test strategy
for SDKs (unit/integration/UI) use AI to expand coverage while rigorously testing
security-critical paths . Design
clean, well-documented
SDK APIs
with
backward compatibility
and minimal
binary-size
impact. Improve
the
SDLC
with pragmatic
AI adoption
(test generation, review support, debugging and release automation). Maintain
CI/CD
(e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) with
SAST ,
dependency scanning
and automated
security checks
use AI to triage and accelerate remediation. Evaluate
AI/ML tools
and recommend adoption aligned to
IAM security
and
data-handling standards
share best practices. Add
privacy-conscious telemetry
(crash/performance/diagnostics) to support customers without exposing
sensitive identity data . Contribute
to
product innovation
(prototypes/patents), including
AI/ML opportunities
that improve security and reduce user friction.
Requirements Degree in Computer Engineering, Information Security, Electronics or related field. 5+ years
of professional
mobile development
experience. Android (Java/Kotlin)
expertise, including lifecycle, concurrency and memory management. AI-assisted development
(e.g., Copilot/Claude/Cursor) able to prompt effectively and critically
validate/rewrite output
for
security-sensitive code . Ability to apply
AI across the SDLC
(tests/docs/debug/review) with strong
quality
and
security judgment . Experience building and distributing
mobile SDKs
( API design ,
versioning , binary distribution,
backward compatibility ). Familiar with
mobile security
practices/tools:
static analysis ,
secure storage
(Keychain/Keystore),
certificate pinning
and
reverse-engineering countermeasures . Advantage :
IAM
and
auth protocols
( OAuth 2.0 ,
OIDC ,
FIDO2 , certificate-based authentication). Self-directed, collaborative engineer with strong trade-off judgment.
At Thales, we're committed to fostering a workplace where respect, trust, collaboration, and passion drive everything we do. Here, you'll feel empowered to bring your best self, thrive in a supportive culture, and love the work you do. Join us, and be part of a team reimagining technology to create solutions that truly make a difference - for a safer, greener, and more inclusive world.
