Sr. iOS R&D Engineer - Secure Camera and Sensor Acquisition - remote

Why we are hiring

Truepic develops the world's most secure camera technology for mobile devices. We empower viewers to make better-informed decisions through high integrity photos &videos. Our team is dedicated to restoring trust in every pixel of consequence, with the goal of having a shared sense of visual reality across the internet by 2030. We are embarking on a game-changing endeavor to bring our award-winning Controlled Capture secure camera technology (named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2020) to any camera-enabled app. As a Senior iOS R&D Engineer, you will use your ingenuity to create secure, trusted libraries for camera and other sensor data acquisition, resulting in high integrity photos and videos worthy of the Truepic brand. Your work will help cement Truepic’s position on the bleeding edge of the battle against visual deception, including defending against AI-synthesized deepfakes. Authenticatable photos and videos produced by apps that integrate your code will aid critical decision making by customers at Tier 1 internet platforms, financial service companies, international NGOs, and governments. 

Core Responsibilities: 

• Architect and implement camera sensor secure data acquisition and encoding libraries for both still photos and videos
• Architect and implement depth map acquisition and encoding libraries with consistent behavior across various device hardware capabilities, including single lens, multi-lens, and specialized 3D mapping hardware such as ToF and LiDAR
• Architect and implement on-device validation for other acquired sensor data, including location, motion sensors, and audio, possibly leveraging heuristics and/or trained machine learning models
• Be accountable to the Truepic product engineering team for capture library stability, footprint, and performance
• Contribute to the creation of an open standard for authenticatable media files alongside industry heavyweights such as Adobe, Twitter, Microsoft, and more. 
• Develop custom photo and video file writing libraries to create files compliant with emerging standards for authenticatable photos and videos
• Collaborate with mobile platform security engineer to leverage best practices for secure code writing, secrets management, and cryptography
• Collaborate with the broader Truepic R&D team on a unified architectural approach to Controlled Capture technology
