About the job
About the role
Join Twilio's Stytch team as a Staff Mobile Engineer to shape the next generation of identity and fraud prevention products. You will help scale Stytch's core identity and fraud products as Stytch capabilities are brought to Twilio's full customer base, delivering secure, developer-first identity and fraud prevention experiences. Build mobile SDK products that power authentication, fraud detection and prevention, and emerging agentic identity use cases. Partner with product and engineering leadership to design and deliver high-impact customer-facing features, and evolve the platform for Twilio's scale. This is a rare chance to operate like a startup within Twilio: high-ownership environment with startup speed, backed by Twilio's reach and scale.
Responsibilities
- Build and own the mobile SDKs for Stytch's identity and fraud detection platforms on Twilio—go deep on device internals for complex signal collection to improve identification of bad actors and ship new SDK surfaces powering core authentication flows, including agenting and non-human identity use cases.
- Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to set direction, translate customer needs into product capabilities, and deliver high-impact roadmap features.
- Collaborate across Twilio and Stytch teams to align on architecture, integrate platform capabilities, and unblock cross-team initiatives.
- Operate with deep technical ownership: author design docs, drive key technical decisions, review code, and stay close to the systems you ship.
- Build in ambiguity—break down complex problems, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and design developer experiences that delight customers.
- Improve production quality and resilience through strong observability, incident response and remediation.
- Mentor and support other engineers through pairing, feedback, and knowledge-sharing, helping raise the team's technical bar and culture.
