Role
Who you are
- This role is equally suited to strong new graduates and engineers with up to 2–3 years of professional experience
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, version control, code review, debugging, and automated testing treated as a core part of how you build software
- Working proficiency in at least one of Swift, Kotlin, or C#/.NET, with genuine interest in picking up the others. Rust is a plus
- Familiarity with more than one programming language; you don’t get stuck in the syntax of any one ecosystem
- Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, or similar) on real, production-grade codebases, while maintaining ownership of what ships
- Natural curiosity and the instinct to investigate a problem before asking for help: able to read unfamiliar code, dig through documentation, and work through obstacles independently
- Ownership mindset at the level appropriate for this stage of your career: you see your tasks through without hand-holding, switch to something productive when you’re stuck, and understand how your work fits into the larger product
- Comfort working remotely and communicating clearly verbally and in writing across time zones
- 0–3 years of professional experience. Strong internship experience is welcome in lieu of full-time tenure
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Software Engineer to join our applications team and focus on the native side of our cross-platform client stack
- Our products are built as a combination of native applications (iOS, Android, Windows) layered on top of shared cross-platform libraries written in Rust
- This role is focused on the native portion, with the opportunity, and our encouragement, to expand into the Rust core over time
- What matters to us is engineering fundamentals, curiosity, and the ability to move confidently across platforms and languages
- Build features across our native applications on iOS, Android, and Windows, working primarily in Swift, Kotlin, and C#/.NET
- Integrate native code with our shared Rust libraries, the bridge between platform-specific layers and the cross-platform parts of our product
- Own your work end-to-end: understand the problem, design a solution, implement it, test it, and see it through code review and release
- Write and maintain automated tests as a standard part of the work, not an afterthought
- Use AI coding assistants effectively on production code. We expect you to be comfortable leveraging these tools daily, while maintaining the judgment to evaluate and own what ships
- Collaborate with senior engineers across security, wireless communications, systems programming, and embedded, learning from specialists in these domains
- Grow over time into our Rust codebase, contributing to the cross-platform core alongside the native work
Our take
As cybersecurity attacks mount in number and severity, more novel security measures are needed across the globe. One of the frontrunners is biometrics, and a major champion of this approach is workplace wearable technology company Nymi.
Nymi has developed a series of wristbands that use fingerprint and heartbeat recognition technology to confirm wearer identity. These can then be used in place of passcodes and swipecards, offering more secure and efficient workplace solutions. The company has a reputable and secure track record, but public attitudes towards the privacy risks of wearables could affect adoption. Nevertheless, its seeing strong custom from enterprise companies.
The trick will be consistently proving the value that biometric wearables bring to the workplace. Nymi’s growing spread of high-grade clients like Bayer, AstraZeneca, and BionTech, is reflective that they are succeeding in doing so. The company's acquisition by Innominds, a Californian full-cycle product engineering services company, is evidence of this and will aid in its digital growth.
