Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Android Developer with deep expertise in building and maintaining secure mobile applications.

Your primary role will be to enhance the security, performance, and reliability of our mobile application shield, ensuring it is robust enough to prevent potential vulnerabilities such as memory corruption, race conditions, and other critical issues.

As a key contributor to our security team, you will be involved in refining codebases in Java, Kotlin, and C/C++, with a strong focus on Android internals, native code integration, and performance optimization.

You will also have the opportunity to work closely with our cybersecurity experts to develop advanced defense mechanisms, ensuring that our shield is resilient to modern mobile attacks.

Key Responsibilities:
Analyze and optimize existing Android codebases to prevent memory corruption, race conditions, and security vulnerabilities
Build and maintain robust shields for mobile applications, with a focus on low-level Android development and native code (C/C++)
Collaborate with the security team to implement cutting-edge security features and defense mechanisms against mobile threats
Debug and analyze complex crashes, particularly those involving memory issues, threading, and Android kernel interactions
Review and optimize native Android components (JNI, NDK) for performance, security, and stability
Ensure that the Android shield is resistant to reverse engineering, hooking, and injection attacks
Develop and maintain Android SDKs, ensuring seamless integration with hybrid runtimes and third-party apps
Stay updated with the latest in Android security research and contribute to improving the mobile application's resilience against emerging threats

Requirements:
5+ years of experience in mobile application development with a strong focus on Android internals and security
In-depth knowledge of Android kernel, low-level Android development, and hybrid application runtimes
Proven experience in C and C++ development, especially in memory management and concurrent programming
Experience with Android NDK (Native Development Kit), JNI, and the ability to write and debug native code
Expertise in identifying and resolving memory corruption, race conditions, and other performance bottlenecks in Android apps
Hands-on experience with security vulnerabilities (such as buffer overflows, code injection) and defense techniques (anti-debugging, encryption)
Experience building, maintaining, and distributing SDKs for Android platforms
Deep understanding of mobile application attacks (e.g., Frida, hooking, root detection) and the ability to implement effective countermeasures

Benefits:
Competitive salary and benefits package
Fully remote work option with flexible work hours
Possibility of relocation to Dubai
Opportunity to work on a massive scale, protecting millions of users worldwide and facing unique, large-scale security challenges
Cutting-edge security technology in a dynamic and innovative environment
Access to groundbreaking security research as part of a research-driven company, where your work contributes to solving some of the most critical security issues in mobile technology
Room for professional growth and career development in a company that values continuous learning and innovation
Supportive work environment focused on collaboration, innovation, and pushing the boundaries of mobile security
