Software Engineer (Android)

Thales is a global technology leader trusted by governments, institutions, and enterprises to tackle their most demanding challenges. From quantum applications and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity and 6G innovation, our solutions empower critical decisions rooted in human intelligence. Operating at the forefront of aerospace and space, cybersecurity and digital identity, we’re driven by a mission to build a future we can all trust.

Thales CDI (Cyber-Security Products) is hiring a Mobile Engineer (Android) to build IAM (Identity & Access Management) mobile apps and SDKs. You will help deliver secure, easy-to-integrate authentication experiences where security is non‑negotiable.

You will work in a small, high-impact team and use AI responsibly to accelerate delivery—while applying strong engineering judgment and human-led security review in a security‑critical environment.

Responsibilities

• Design,build andvalidate mobile apps and SDKs; useAI-assisted tooling to accelerate delivery withmandatory human-led security review.
• Implement secureauthentication andidentity verification flows (protocol-driven); validate designs against platformthreat models.
• Owntest strategy for SDKs (unit/integration/UI); use AI to expand coverage while rigorously testingsecurity-critical paths.
• Design clean, well-documentedSDK APIs withbackward compatibility and minimalbinary-size impact.
• Improve theSDLC with pragmaticAI adoption (test generation, review support, debugging and release automation).
• MaintainCI/CD (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) withSAST,dependency scanning and automatedsecurity checks; use AI to triage and accelerate remediation.
• EvaluateAI/ML tools and recommend adoption aligned toIAM security anddata-handling standards; share best practices.
• Addprivacy-conscious telemetry (crash/performance/diagnostics) to support customers without exposingsensitive identity data.
• Contribute toproduct innovation (prototypes/patents), includingAI/ML opportunities that improve security and reduce user friction.

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Engineering, Information Security, Electronics or related field.
• 5+ years of professionalmobile development experience.
• Android (Java/Kotlin) expertise, including lifecycle, concurrency and memory management.
• AI-assisted development (e.g., Copilot/Claude/Cursor); able to prompt effectively and criticallyvalidate/rewrite output forsecurity-sensitive code.
• Ability to applyAI across the SDLC (tests/docs/debug/review) with strongquality andsecurity judgment.
• Experience building and distributingmobile SDKs (API design,versioning, binary distribution,backward compatibility).
• Familiar withmobile security practices/tools:static analysis,secure storage (Keychain/Keystore),certificate pinning andreverse-engineering countermeasures.
• Advantage:IAM andauth protocols (OAuth 2.0,OIDC,FIDO2, certificate-based authentication).
• Self-directed, collaborative engineer with strong trade-off judgment.

At Thales, we’re committed to fostering a workplace where respect, trust, collaboration, and passion drive everything we do. Here, you’ll feel empowered to bring your best self, thrive in a supportive culture, and love the work you do. Join us, and be part of a team reimagining technology to create solutions that truly make a difference – for a safer, greener, and more inclusive world.
