The environment emphasizes high engineering standards, rigorous code quality, and scalable system design. You will have visibility into core identity and access management challenges shaping modern digital security. This is a hands-on, technically deep role with strong influence on architecture and product direction.

Accountabilities

In this role, you will take ownership of designing, developing, and maintaining Android-based authentication systems that support cloud-native security products at scale.

• Lead the design and development of Android client software for device authentication and secure access workflows.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to translate requirements into robust, scalable technical solutions.
• Build high-quality, maintainable code using Kotlin (and Java where needed), with strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and engineering best practices.
• Optimize application performance, reliability, and security across diverse Android devices and OS versions.
• Identify and resolve technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and architectural inefficiencies.
• Participate actively in code reviews, mentoring peers, and contributing to continuous engineering improvement.
• Stay current with Android ecosystem trends and evaluate new tools, frameworks, and security approaches.

Requirements

You bring strong Android engineering experience combined with a deep understanding of software architecture, security, and scalable system design.

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3+ years building enterprise-grade Android applications.
• Strong proficiency in Kotlin, with Java experience considered a plus.
• Solid understanding of object-oriented design, scalability patterns, and secure software engineering principles.
• Experience working in CI/CD-driven environments with fast-paced, iterative development cycles.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across complex Android systems and device fragmentation challenges.
• Familiarity with identity and access management concepts such as SSO, OAuth, SAML, WebAuthn, or FIDO (strong plus).
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering, product, and design teams.
• Experience in security-focused applications (e.g., authentication, VPNs, or related domains) is highly valued.

Benefits

• Competitive annual compensation ranging from CAD $160,000 to $240,000, depending on experience and location.
• Equity opportunities and performance-based bonus eligibility.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
• RRSP retirement savings plan with employer match.
• Flexible remote-first work environment with hybrid collaboration opportunities in Toronto.
• Paid time off, parental leave, and additional wellness benefits.
• Access to modern engineering tooling and strong investment in professional growth.
• Opportunity to work on mission-critical identity and security systems at global scale.
