Role

Who you are

3+ years experience shipping Android applications
Experience with one or more of: Flutter, Kotlin, Reactive Native
Comfortable with rapid directional changes in a fully remote startup environment
Experience collaborating with geographically and culturally diverse engineering scrum teams
Ability to write software that interacts with low level communications protocols, especially Bluetooth Low Energy, NFC, and WiFi Aware

Desirable

Experience with secure enclaves, hardware-based cryptography, or sensitive data handling on Android
Bachelor's Degree in computer science, IT, engineering, or related field

What the job involves

You will work on a privacy-first digital identity wallet, controlled by the end user. We use a combination of core identity libraries, cutting-edge cryptography, and new interoperable identity standards
Refactor, maintain, and extend the open source credential wallet application on Android. The desired architecture is a set of reusable SDKs that contain the core functionality and UX workflow components. The completed application's code should be a thin layer over the SDKs
Work closely with product managers and UX designers responsible for managing user stories, features, and releases
Develop the mobile application including releasing the app to Google Play store

Our take

Keeping control over your identity online is becoming increasingly difficult. Spruce is setting out to combat this by leveraging the power of blockchain. The company's main target is allowing users to sign in online using their Ethereum account instead of a traditional intermediary. This offers increased privacy and ownership for users.

Spruce is one of a raft of new companies looking to leverage the power of blockchain to improve consumers' privacy and autonomy online, which means there is no shortage of competitors in the space. That said, its funding success, integration capabilities and backing has given it an important edge, and these factors stand strong as promises of its future potential.
