Job Description :

Join Secusmart – Where Innovation Meets Impact

Secusmart, a fast-growing subsidiary of BlackBerry Limited, is the leading expert in developing and implementing comprehensive anti-eavesdropping solutions for private and government agencies, as well as organizations responsible for emergency services. We also secure enterprise information and applications on today’s most popular mobile devices and platforms, protecting both business and personal data.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who loves to tinker, solve problems, and get excited about making things work. Whether you're building sleek UIs, diving into backend services, or prototyping at a hackathon, you’ll find a place here to grow and make an impact.

We keep things loose with a flat hierarchy, and we’re not afraid to crack a joke or two. If you thrive in a culture where people come before processes, you’ll find your home here.

What You’ll Be Doing :

  • Work on the cutting edge of application systems security across mobile and desktop platforms
  • Collaborate with a team that values your input and keeps things light
  • Help companies and governments mitigate cybersecurity threats
  • Develop commercial-grade software using modern frameworks and tools
  • Contribute to architectural discussions and design decisions
  • Apply a scientific and empirical approach to analysis and development
  • Embrace experimentation, learn from mistakes, and iterate quickly
  • Bring your hackathon mindset—rapid prototyping, creative problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration—to everyday work
  • Jump into different roles as needed—developer, debugger, tester, architect, or even product thinker

What You Bring to the Table :

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience)
  • Significant experience developing software in agile environments
  • Strong foundation in computer science principles (algorithms, debugging, performance optimization)
  • Proficiency in C / C++ – Demonstrated ability to write, optimize, and debug complex systems in C / C++
  • Adaptability – Proven track record of quickly learning new technologies, frameworks, or systems
  • Generalist mindset – Comfortable working across the full stack, with a focus on problem-solving over platform-specific knowledge
  • Principal-level leadership – Experience mentoring others, guiding technical decisions, and driving project outcomes
  • An interest in emerging AI technologies
  • Who You Are :

  • A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and continuously seeks to improve
  • A collaborative team player who values feedback, knowledge sharing, and learning from others
  • A leader who mentors others, shares expertise to empower their growth, and drives technical direction with an open mindset
  • Humble enough to recognize when to ask for help and learn from others
  • A relentless problem solver who is driven by deep curiosity and a burning need to make things better
  • Comfortable adapting to new challenges and technologies rapidly
  • Excited by dynamic environments and the opportunity to contribute to impactful solutions
  • A generalist at heart, comfortable working across the stack and exploring new tools / technologies
  • Someone who lives and breathes technology—whether it’s building apps, attending hackathons, tinkering with hardware like single-board computers or 3D printers, or exploring new tools just for fun
  • A lifelong learner who actively seeks knowledge from peers, mentors, and emerging trends
  • #LI-NR1
