Role: iOS Developer

Location: London, UK

Role Overview

Join the XDP business unit at Barclays to lead the integration of advanced security and identity solutions within our iOS ecosystem. As an iOS Security Developer/Engineer, you will bridge the gap between high-level cryptography and native mobile development.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• SDK Integration: Support the integration of Ping/ForgeRock SDKs into various mobile applications, managing the specific nuances of each app’s architecture.
• Cryptography Implementation: Implement client-side Cryptography Protocols on iOS based on CISO specifications, focusing on execution rather than design.
• Secure Prototyping: Build secure demonstration versions of mobile apps within the “ACME Bank” fake environment to validate new security features.
• Strategic Input (VP Level): Help steer the mobile functionality of the CIAM platform and provide subject matter expertise to broader engineering teams.

Technical Requirements

• Core iOS: Deep expertise in Swift and the iOS SDK.
• Mobile Security: Proven experience with the Secure Enclave, FaceID/TouchID, and creating/storing security keys within the iOS Keychain.
• Authentication: Strong experience with mobile authentication SDKs (e.g., Ping, ForgeRock, Auth0, Okta, or CyberArk).
• Environment: Experience in large, regulated enterprises or Tier-1 banks is highly preferred.
