Job description

Data Theorem is an exciting company focused on creating a more secure world for data. Rooted in a strong engineer first culture, every employee has an impact on product and direction. We are searching for exceptional talent pursuing an opportunity to grow and take ownership of the projects that resonate most with them.

As an Android engineer, you will be responsible for improving our automated platform for analyzing Android applications at scale, and help Data Theorem’s customers build better, more secure, and more private applications.

You will:

• Work with the mobile team on a set of tools we've built to statically analyze APK's in order to find security or privacy issues.
• Improve our dynamic analyzer, which instruments Android applications in order to study their behavior while running on a device, and detect dangerous actions that could lead to security problems.
• Collaborate with the security research team to build new security checks to be added to our scanning platform, so we can help customers build more secure Android apps.
• Be an active member of Data Theorem's engineering team, which is spread across the United States, England, France, and Canada.
• Be amazed at your opportunity for growth within a top cybersecurity startup.

We’re looking for someone who has:

• Significant experience implementing Android applications and tools.
• A good understanding of the Android runtime, or a strong interest in becoming more familiar with the runtime.
• Bonus points: some experience with Flutter writing tools in Python.
• Bonus points: some experience with taking apart Android software in order to understand and/or modify it. This includes experience with tools such as Xposed, Frida, apktool, androguard, etc.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent work experience in related field.
• 3 plus years of experience working with mobile technologies.
• No information security experience required - we are more interested in software engineering backgrounds.

1) Are you legally authorized to work for any employer in Canada?
2) Are you located in the Ontario province?
3) How many years of experience do you have in Android App or Mobile development?
4) Do you have experience with Flutter?*
