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.
In Singapore, Thales has been a trusted partner since 1973, originally focused on aerospace activities in the Asia-Pacific region. With 2,000 employees across three local sites, we deliver cutting-edge solutions across aerospace (including air traffic management), defence and security, and digital identity and cybersecurity sectors. Together, we’re shaping the future by enabling customers to make pivotal decisions that safeguard communities and power progress.Thales CDI (Cyber-Security Products)is hiring a Mobile Engineer (iOS)to build IAM (Identity & Access Management)mobile appsand SDKs. You will help deliver secure, easy-to-integrate authentication experiences where security is non-negotiable.
You will work in a small, high-impact teamand use AI responsiblyto accelerate delivery-while applying strong engineering judgmentand human-led security reviewin a security-critical environment.
Responsibilities:
- Design, buildand validatemobile apps and SDKs; use AI-assisted toolingto accelerate delivery with mandatory human-led security review.
- Implementsecure authenticationand identity verificationflows (protocol-driven); validate designs against platform threat models.
- Owntest strategyfor SDKs (unit/integration/UI); use AI to expand coverage while rigorously testing security-critical paths.
- Designclean, well-documented SDK APIswith backward compatibilityand minimal binary-sizeimpact.
- Improvethe SDLCwith pragmatic AI adoption(test generation, review support, debugging and release automation).
- MaintainCI/CD(e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) with SAST, dependency scanningand automated security checks; use AI to triage and accelerate remediation.
- EvaluateAI/ML toolsand recommend adoption aligned to IAM securityand data-handling standards; share best practices.
- Addprivacy-conscious telemetry(crash/performance/diagnostics) to support customers without exposing sensitive identity data.
- Contributeto product innovation(prototypes/patents), including AI/ML opportunitiesthat improve security and reduce user friction.
Requirements:
- Degree in Computer Engineering, Information Security, Electronics or related field.
- 5+ yearsof professional mobile developmentexperience.
- iOS (Swift, SwiftUI/UIKit) expertise, including lifecycle, concurrency and memory management.
- AI-assisted development(e.g., Copilot/Claude/Cursor); able to prompt effectively and critically validate/rewrite outputfor security-sensitive code.
- Ability to apply AI across the SDLC(tests/docs/debug/review) with strong qualityand security judgment.
- Experience building and distributing mobile SDKs(API design, versioning, binary distribution, backward compatibility).
- Familiar with mobile securitypractices/tools: static analysis, secure storage (Keychain/Keystore), certificate pinningand reverse-engineering countermeasures.
- Advantage: IAMand auth protocols(OAuth 2.0, OIDC, FIDO2, certificate-based authentication).
- Self-directed, collaborative engineer with strong trade-off judgment.
