Job description

We are seeking a Senior iOS Engineer who enjoys bridging high-level mobile software with physical hardware. Based at our campus in Sunnyvale, CA, you will serve as a hands-on technical lead driving mobile hardware integrations, Bluetooth reader SDKs, and core transaction flows across our native iOS framework. In this role, you will work closely with our on-site hardware labs, product teams, and Core Payments engineering to ensure fast, reliable, and secure mobile payment experiences. If you love building software that interacts with physical accessories-from Bluetooth readers to smart terminal devices-we want to talk to you!, * Hardware & SDK Engineering: Design, build, and maintain modular native iOS SDKs and frameworks that communicate with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) card readers, smart accessories, and next-generation terminal hardware.

  • Core Payment Integrations: Partner with backend and Core Payments teams to integrate transaction processing, tokenization, refunds, and secure cryptographic communications on iOS.
  • On-Site Prototyping & Lab Debugging: Leverage our state-of-the-art Sunnyvale hardware lab for real-time hardware-in-the-loop debugging, reader firmware testing, and performance optimization.

  • Hardware & Peripheral Integration: Hands-on experience connecting iOS applications to external hardware accessories or peripherals using CoreBluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), MFi (Made for iPhone), or USB interfaces.
  • Framework Architecture: Deep understanding of iOS framework design, API architecture, multithreading, memory management, and asynchronous networking.
  • Security & Network Foundations: Exposure to secure key management, cryptographic principles (e.g., AES, RSA, tokenization), or REST/WebSocket APIs.
  • Debugging & Problem-Solving: Curiosity and drive to troubleshoot complex edge cases spanning software, network protocols, and physical hardware layers.

Experience that would be great to have

  • Card Reader & Payment Experience: Any prior experience working with payment processors, card readers (e.g., Clover, Square, Stripe Terminal, Ingenico, Verifone), or point-of-sale (POS) systems is highly valued.
  • Compliance Exposure: Familiarity with payment industry standards (PCI-DSS, PCI-PTS, EMVCo) or device certification workflows.
  • C/C++ Interop: Experience writing or maintaining shared native C/C++ libraries wrapped for iOS via Objective-C++ or Swift C-interop.
