Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain a comprehensive view of mobile threats, attack paths, and systemic control gaps.
  • Define the target mobile security posture, priorities, standards, and long-term roadmap for iOS and Android.
  • Provide security architecture guidance covering app integrity, device trust, authentication, credential protection, local data, WebViews, deep links, networking, and third-party SDKs.
  • Build and run a repeatable mobile application security assessment and review program, including methodology, prioritization, acceptance criteria, escalation, automation, and measurement.
  • Identify recurring weaknesses and drive reusable platform-level controls, standards, and engineering frameworks.
  • Influence senior engineering leaders and mobile teams across organizational boundaries without formal authority.
  • Establish the mobile security operating model and help build and manage a specialist mobile security team over time.

Requirements

  • Deep hands-on mobile security expertise across both iOS and Android, ideally in a large-scale consumer technology environment.
  • Practical experience with mobile application security, reverse engineering, app integrity, device trust, authentication, secure storage, IPC, WebViews, deep links, networking, and abuse resistance.
  • Experience building or operating a mobile security assessment or review program rather than only conducting individual reviews.
  • Strong software engineering experience, ideally including production mobile development or mobile security tooling.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify systemic issues across multiple applications and translate them into reusable controls, standards, or engineering frameworks.
  • Experience influencing senior engineers and engineering leaders across organizational boundaries.
  • Experience with product security architecture and threat modeling at significant scale.
  • Evidence of driving changes in engineering practices, not only identifying security issues.
  • Prior people management is useful but not required; strong technical leadership and potential to grow into management are emphasized.

Benefits

  • Includes a 12-week probation period, which may be skipped, shortened, or extended based on business needs.
