Lead Android Engineer (UnifyID, San Francisco)

Salary Competitive

UnifyID has the bold vision to replace today’s vulnerable and cumbersome security techniques (passwords, one-time passcodes, etc), with passive, behavior-based authentication.


UnifyID is building a platform to solve one of the world’s biggest unsolved security problems in a completely novel way, requiring them to push the boundaries of what’s possible in production machine learning and on mobile devices.  Their data analytics platform can translate mobile sensor data from real-world human activity into a “digital fingerprint” with no conscious action from the user, all in real-time, and in a way that respects user privacy.  This is an opportunity to be a part of something truly unique and game-changing.

Now UnifyID is looking for a seasoned software engineer with deep experience on Android to join their talented team of security, machine learning, mobile and enterprise SaaS experts. They are backed by leading investors such as NEA, Andreessen Horowitz and Stanford-StartX. UnifyID's innovations have won numerous awards from TechCrunch, RSA, Gartner and SXSW.

They are looking for natural-born builders who are comfortable in multiple technical areas, have creative problem-solving skills, a love for coding and technology and a “get stuff done” attitude.

What you will be doing at UnifyID:

  • Take ownership, be creative, and think outside the box to invent and build solutions to real-world customer problems

  • Provide thought leadership on industry best practices around design, testing, and security

  • Be proactive in ensuring that customers using your software have a great experience

  • Wear many hats to make things happen in a dynamic startup environment

  • Bring your own unique expertise to the team and learn from others

  • Enjoy tight collaboration with your teammates

Things that make you a good fit:

  • You have spent at least 5 years in the trenches of the software industry, delivering quality software that matters to people that care

  • Many “been there, done that” stories related to shipping and maintaining mobile releases for large numbers of customers

  • Experience executing on complex features leveraging the power of native Android SDKs

  • Strong knowledge of Android Studio along with competency using Android standard libraries

  • Experience analyzing features in production using analytics and experiments (e.g. A/B testing; use various reporting systems to identify the root cause of issues etc.)

  • A breadth of technical skills and know-how to use the right tool for the job

  • A positive can-do attitude and bring a passion for excellence to the workplace

  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills

  • Knowledge of cybersecurity, machine learning, or experience working with motion sensor data a bonus

  • To be eligible to apply for this position through Startuplifers you must be currently studying towards a degree or have graduated from a Finnish or a Swedish university
