Android Engineer, Identity

Description

The company builds the company Identity, a product that lets businesses verify their users digitally using identity documents and other signals for fraud prevention, regulatory, and trust and safety needs.

The Identity Product Experience team owns the iOS, Android, and React Native mobile SDKs. These let businesses embed identity-verification flows in their apps and cover user experience, SDK architecture, document and camera capture, developer experience, security, accessibility, reliability, and integration with the company's backend.

The company serves millions of companies, from large enterprises to early-stage startups, with payments and revenue tools. The company's stated mission is to increase the GDP of the internet.

The team's longer-term goal is a trusted store of verified identities that enables frictionless verification across the company and beyond.

You would be building mobile verification experiences that businesses can integrate easily and their users can trust. The team is looking for engineers who care about mobile craft and the full user journey, who can turn complex technical and regulatory requirements into simple, polished experiences, and who are comfortable with ambiguity and learning new technologies.

• Deliver features end to end by working across mobile clients, supporting APIs, and services.
• Improve SDK performance, reliability, observability, testing, release processes, and backward compatibility.
• Make architectural decisions that balance user experience, developer experience, security, privacy, and long-term maintainability.
• Work closely with product managers, designers, machine-learning engineers, backend engineers, user researchers, and other mobile teams.
• Gather feedback from the company users and field teams and turn it into product and platform improvements.
• Help set up and evolve mobile engineering practices across Identity and the company.
• Operate and maintain the team's systems and SDKs, diagnosing production issues and improving them based on what you learn.
