Android Developer-San Jose-Mid Level

About the Team

The Identity team builds the authentication and session foundations of PayPal's consumer experiences. We own login, account linking, session management, passkeys / biometrics, and secure token flows to make authentication both frictionless and secure at global scale.

What You'll Do

Build native Android features for login, sign-up, account recovery, device trust, and session lifecycle for a brand-new PayPal application.

Integrate with Identity providers and platform services using OAuth 2.1 and OpenID Connect, handling token issuance / refresh / revocation and secure session state.

Implement passkeys / WebAuthn / FIDO2, biometric auth (BiometricPrompt), and strong device signals (SafetyNet / Play Integrity).

Own secure credential storage with Android Keystore; enforce transport security and TLS certificate pinning.

Partner with backend identity services on contract design, PKCE, nonce management, and error modeling.

Instrument performance, reliability, and observability (logging, metrics, traces) for auth flows.

Write comprehensive unit and UI tests (JUnit, Espresso), and security-focused tests; contribute to CI / CD pipelines (Gradle, static analysis, lint, detekt).

Collaborate with iOS, backend, product, design, and security to ship accessible, localized, and privacy-first auth experiences.
