Job description
Fingerprint empowers enterprises to detect and stop online fraud with the world’s most accurate device intelligence. We lead our industry with bleeding-edge identification capabilities and work on turning new ideas and discoveries in the fraud detection space into reality. Our customers range from innovative startups to leading enterprise companies, including Plaid, Dropbox, and Booking.com.
Fingerprint is a globally dispersed, 100% remote company. We were named on on the 2026 Forbes Best Startup Employers list and ranked #803 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies.
We have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures ( Tesla, Facebook, Airbnb ), Nexus Venture Partners ( Postman , Apollo.io, MinIO , Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures ( Redis, Rollbar, Gradle ).
About the role:
We’re looking for a Senior Android Engineer based in EMEA with a strong background in Native Android development to join our Mobile team. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of mobile engineering and security, where you’ll help shape the future of mobile device intelligence and fraud prevention.
You’ll be a key contributor to our Android SDKs—building cutting-edge detection signals, optimizing performance, and delivering an exceptional developer experience. You'll also collaborate closely with product managers, backend engineers, and data analysts to drive innovation through new methodologies and data-informed decisions.
Responsibilities:
Lead the development and evolution of our Android products:
Fingerprint Android PRO SDK – Design and implement detection signals; improve performance, stability, and reliability.
Fingerprint Android OSS SDK & Showcase App – Maintain and advance our open-source offerings.
Fingerprint Device Intelligence Demo App – Build new features and implement UI screens from Figma designs using Jetpack Compose .
Provide technical expertise and insights to product and analytics teams—for example, assessing Android market data (e.g., the share of Vivo devices using MTK SoCs) using internal tools and our data warehouse.
Research and prototype new methodologies that enhance our fraud prevention capabilities, efficiency, and technical edge.
Conduct post-deployment analysis on collected data and collaborate on improving server-side logic and detection systems.
Work cross-functionally with backend engineers, PMs, and security researchers to deliver impactful features end-to-end.
Qualifications:
5+ years of hands-on Android development experience in a senior-level capacity; strong foundation in Information Security , with prior experience as an Android engineer in a security-focused organization or on a security-centric product.
Demonstrated ability to build native Android applications and SDKs from the ground up; deep understanding of Android internals and system behavior.
Proficiency in Kotlin and the Android SDK ; hands-on experience with Jetpack Compose for UI development.
Experience with C++
Experience building tools for other developers is a strong plus.
Data-savvy mindset with a comfort level working with product and data teams.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; thrive in a remote-first, async team environment.
Experience with GitHub Actions—share your GitHub profile if applicable.
Familiarity with obfuscation techniques or related low-level Android security concepts.
Interest in expanding into backend development, such as writing backend detection logic.
Engagement in the InfoSec community through conference speaking, writing, or active participation.
Compensation & Transparency:
At Fingerprint, we believe in pay transparency — it's part of how we operate as a distributed, remote-first team. Salaries are based on function, level, and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies.
Because this role is open across the EMEA region and can be based anywhere our team members work from, the salary range reflects that geographic breadth: $71k- $144k Some example salaries for specific locations are below:
United Kingdom: $125k - $144k
Serbia: $71k - $82k
Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including the successful candidate's location, experience, and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
Due to regulatory and security reasons, there’s a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based. Additionally, because Fingerprint is an all-remote company and people can join our workforce from almost any country, we do not sponsor visas. Fingerprint teammates need to be authorized to work from their home location.
We are dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment for everyone. We embrace and celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives and cultural backgrounds that each employee brings to our workplace. Fingerprint strives to foster an environment where our employees feel respected, valued and empowered, and our team members are at the forefront in helping us promote and sustain an inclusive workplace. We highly encourage people from underrepresented groups in tech to apply.
