About Android Identity Squad

Both Android development and implementing security solutions are a passion of yours? Then this role as (Senior) Android Engineer in the Identity Squad might be a perfect match!

We are a cross-functional and truly engineering-driven team. Our mission is to provide best-in-class authentication experiences and account protection for millions of users globally, as well as centralised authorization infrastructure that enables teams and products globally across SumUp. Expect to work with a talented and motivated team on impactful and far-reaching projects.

As a team, we set a high bar in engineering and continuously strive to raise it. We try to keep our processes lean and make us as a team more effective. Right now, the missing piece we’re looking for to become more effective is a dedicated Android Engineer.

If you're looking for the chance to innovate and help millions of small merchants to succeed – join us!

What you’ll do in this role:

• Help evolve our authentication and authorization components that serve both internal and external users.
• Work on solutions to improve the security of our apps and SDKs, protecting millions of users from fraud and account-takeovers.
• Actively contribute to the UI/UX design by reviewing and providing feedback, e.g. on technical feasibility and complexity, or to get the platform-specific nuances right.
• Design clean APIs together with the other engineers.
• Work with a motivated and talented distributed team, located in Brazil, Germany and Moldova.
• Enjoy your work! We are looking for someone to be paid to do what they love (most of the time).

You'll be great for this position if:

• Security topics excite you. Prior experience in authorization and authentication, like OAuth or Multi-Factor Authentication, would be nice to have.
• You are structured and self-motivated. As the only Android Engineer fully dedicated to this team, you are capable to both work rather independently, as well as to effectively collaborate with the cross-functional team and with Android Engineers of other teams.
• You bring experience with large-scale Android projects, ideally also with developing and maintaining libraries to be used by other developers.
• Your Kotlin experience is solid and you are comfortable with Java and Android Components.
• You love to tweak flows for a great user experience.
• You know what to test, why to test it, and how to write flexible tests that won't break.
• By intrinsic motivation, you leave things better than you found them.
• You strive for great solutions, but also know how to be pragmatic when needed.
• You love coding, but you don’t limit yourself to it. You take high responsibility and extend your scope and knowledge as needed.
• You are not afraid to use Google, an AI assistant, or simply ask for help when something is beyond your grasp.
• You are able to communicate effectively in English both verbally and in writing. As an international team distributed across both sides of the Atlantic, this is a must.
