Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom Verefa Full time

Android Mobile Developer – Equity/Founder Role – Build the Future of Digital Identity

Verefa is on a mission

We are working to replace passwords and clunky verification systems with a biometric-first, frictionless identity platform. Facial recognition, NFC passports, location-based identity. Together our identity signals provide a bleeding-edge authentication platform, and we're building it from the ground up.

We're a lean, ambitious team. No fluff, no massive org charts. You'll be one of the first key members shaping the Android side of our platform, owning features end-to-end, and defining how millions of people might verify themselves securely in the future.

What we're looking for:

  • A
    Kotlin/Java Android developer
    who can not just build, but architect a secure, performant, and globally-compatible mobile experience.
  • Someone who gets deep, and thrives, in biometrics, NFC, MRZ scanning, and mobile security protocols.
  • A self-starter who can tackle problems most people don't even think about yet: offline security, encryption, NFC passport reading across borders, PACE/BAC authentication.
  • You
    want equity, not a salary
    . You're here because you want a position from the start, and a chance to shape a future that matters with a product that is pushing the boundaries of traditional auth flows.

What you'll do:

  • Build and maintain Verefa's Android app, handling advanced biometric authentication flows, NFC passport scanning, app state details, concurrent processing, and resistive anti-fraud technology.
  • Work directly with the core team on architecture, security, and feature design.
  • Collaborate with backend engineers to implement secure, real-time communication between mobile and server.
  • Make tough decisions on performance, reliability, and security that will affect millions of users.
  • Build your codebase from the ground up, receive trust and responsibility for some of the initial builds of the future of the android identity platform.
  • Keep the app cutting-edge: push notifications, secure storage, device fingerprinting, location-based fraud checks.

What we expect:

  • Strong Android development experience and released apps.
  • Deep understanding of Android SDK, lifecycle, architecture components, and best practices.
  • Familiarity with biometric auth, NFC passport reading, encryption, and secure data handling.
  • Startup mentality: independent, fast-moving, and comfortable with uncertainty.
  • Excellent problem-solving, attention to detail, and code quality.
  • You thrive on ownership and want to be part of a founding team.

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience with BAC/PACE/EAC passport authentication.
  • MRZ scanning experience.
  • CI/CD knowledge and mobile test automation.
  • A passion for privacy and security.

Compensation:

  • Equity in Verefa.
  • Formal vesting and share allocation via a shareholders agreement and vesting schedule.
  • No cash salary initially. This is about joining early, taking risk, and building a company that could shape the future.

Why join Verefa?

  • Be one of the first core team members with real influence.
  • Build tech that matters, used globally, and in a domain where security and trust are everything.
  • Equity aligns your rewards with the company's success - you're not just building software, you're building value, your own value too.
  • Flexible, remote-friendly setup.
