Forter Senior Mobile Researcher 

Israel, Tel Aviv District, Tel Aviv-Yafo 

757527724

About the role:

We are looking for a talented and creative Mobile OS Research Developer to join us in combating online fraud. In this role, you'll play a key part in identifying and neutralizing sophisticated fraudsters in real-time, at a large scale, for some of the world's largest enterprises. This role requires responsibility, creative thinking, and a can-do attitude to solving problems with non-trivial constraints - this is not a “brute force” hacking/reversing type role.

What you'll be doing:

• Collaborate with a team of passionate researchers to solve modern digital intelligence challenges and uncover groundbreaking discoveries together.
• Research the internals of different mobile OSs, find lesser-known APIs, understand upcoming features, and design innovative solutions to leverage them in our products.
• Develop code for both iOS and Android within Forter’s SDK using ObjC/Swift and Java/Kotlin.
• Extract powerful data from the device while being extra careful about safety (zero crashes), and performance (battery, network, etc.).
• Take ownership of the entire data flow process from concept to implementation, collaborating closely with analysts and engineers to ensure seamless integration.
• Deliver and publish SDKs to production which will be used by thousands of merchants to interact with tens of millions of users each day.

What you'll need:

• A love for unraveling mysteries and digging deep into complex environments.
• 4+ years of experience and proven expertise in mobile internals, with a strong background in iOS or Android (iOS experience is a plus).
• Experience building modern mobile apps / SDKs, OS Services, APIs, and development cycles.
• Awareness and familiarity with mobile developer concerns when building apps (security, performance, privacy, compatibility, etc.) at scale.
• Up-to-date knowledge of new OS beta releases and upcoming changes/features.
• Ability to identify risks and roadblocks that could impact our code/SDK/legal in the future.
• Backend experience is required; experience building systems at scale, especially with Node.js, is an advantage.
• Familiarity with reverse engineering tools and techniques (an advantage).
