• Fingerprint Android OSS SDK & Showcase App – Maintain and advance our open-source offerings.
• Fingerprint Device Intelligence Demo App – Build new features and implement UI screens from Figma designs using Jetpack Compose.
• Provide technical expertise and insights to product and analytics teams—for example, assessing Android market data (e.g., the share of Vivo devices using MTK SoCs) using internal tools and our data warehouse.
• Research and prototype new methodologies that enhance our fraud prevention capabilities, efficiency, and technical edge.
• Conduct post-deployment analysis on collected data and collaborate on improving server-side logic and detection systems.
• Work cross-functionally with backend engineers, PMs, and security researchers to deliver impactful features end-to-end.

• 5+ years of hands-on Android development experience in a senior-level capacity.
• Strong foundation in Information Security, with prior experience as an Android engineer in a security-focused organization or on a security-centric product.
• Demonstrated ability to build native Android applications and SDKs from the ground up.
• Deep understanding of Android internals and system behavior.
• Proficiency in Kotlin and the Android SDK; hands-on experience with Jetpack Compose for UI development.
• Experience with C++.
• Experience building tools for other developers is a strong plus.
• Data-savvy mindset with a comfort level working with product and data teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; thrive in a remote-first, async team environment.

Requirements

• Nice to Have:
• Experience with GitHub Actions.
• Familiarity with obfuscation techniques or related low-level Android security concepts.
• Open-source contributions—share your GitHub profile if applicable.
• Interest in expanding into backend development, such as writing backend detection logic.
• Engagement in the InfoSec community through conference speaking, writing, or active participation.

Benefits

• For US-based employees, the cash compensation range for this role is $178,000 – $205,000.
• Offers vary depending on, but not limited to, relevant experience, education, certifications/licenses, skills, training, and market conditions.
• Due to regulatory and security reasons, there’s a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based.

• We are dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment for everyone.
