Mobile Application Architect

Equifax is where you can power your possible. If you want to achieve your true potential, chart new paths, develop new skills, collaborate with bright minds,  and make a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you.

Equifax is looking for a Mobile Application Architect with deep security expertise to spearhead the design and evolution of our next-generation mobile landscape.  Cybersecurity is a company-wide priority at Equifax, so this position will also play a pivotal role in ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of our data. 

In this position, you will take on the role of being a technical authority for our mobile ecosystem. Your mission is to help with the creation of high-performance, scalable mobile architectures where security is not a "bolt-on" feature, but a fundamental part of the DNA. You will empower our engineering teams by providing the guidance, patterns, and influence to build world-class financial services applications that are secure by design.

You will be responsible for the architectural integrity, security, and scalability of our iOS and Android applications. As a leader within our Mobile Center of Excellence (CoE), you will champion a cross-platform strategy using Flutter & Dart, ensuring that our development standards, security protocols, and deployment pipelines are unified and world-class.

• Equifax has a hybrid work schedule that allows for 2 days of remote work (Monday and Friday), with 3 days onsite (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) every week.

• This role reports to our office in Alpharetta, Georgia OR midtown ATL (OAC). 

• This position does not offer immigration sponsorship (current or future) including F-1 STEM OPT extension support. 

• This is a direct-hire role and is not open to C2C or vendors.

• Architecture & Design: Serve as the enterprise architect for Equifax mobile applications, defining a secure technical stack, framework selection, and structural patterns for iOS and Android platforms.

• Center of Excellence Leadership: Establish and govern mobile development standards, reusable component libraries, and architectural patterns to be used across all internal and external-facing apps.

• Secure Engineering: Research and develop "Golden Path" architectural patterns that allow developers to ship code quickly without sacrificing security or integrity.

• Technical Roadmap: Drive the mobile strategy, creating reference architectures and implementation guides for web and mobile-native applications.

• Vulnerability Mitigation: Lead the strategy for detecting and remediating vulnerabilities within the development lifecycle (shifting security and privacy to the left).

• Collaborative Leadership: Partner with product and engineering squads to translate complex business requirements into secure, high-quality technical designs.

• Policy as Code: Develop and maintain technical standards and guidelines that automate security best practices within the CI/CD pipeline; serve as the mobile representative in strategic architecture and compliance reviews.

• Mentorship: Provide thought leadership and technical coaching to mobile developers and QA teams on modern secure-coding techniques.

• Supply Chain Security: Drive the strategy for evaluating and monitoring third-party mobile SDKs, open-source libraries, and vendor dependencies through SCA tooling and SBOM generation, in line with SDLC standards.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.

• Engineering Foundation: 7+ years of professional experience in Mobile Software Engineering and Architecture. You should have a proven track record of shipping complex, large-scale mobile apps.

• Mobile-First Mindset: Deep expertise in mobile-specific languages and frameworks (e.g., Swift/Kotlin, React Native, or Flutter) and a strong understanding of mobile OS internals.

• Security Integration: At least 3 years of experience specifically focused on Application Security, with a mastery of how to bake security into the IDE, build process, and runtime.

• Tools & Protocols: Strong knowledge of encryption protocols, modern authentication (OIDC, OAuth 2.0, Biometrics), and the OWASP Mobile Top 10.

• Problem Solving: The ability to articulate complex architectural challenges to both executive leadership and junior engineers.

• MAST Expertise: Experience with Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) and automated security tooling within Jenkins or Git-based pipelines.

• AI features in mobile: Governing on-device ML (e.g. Core ML, TensorFlow Lite) and LLM-integrated features from a security and privacy perspective.

• Cloud Native: Experience building and securing the backend APIs (NodeJS, Java, or Python) that power mobile apps, particularly within GCP or AWS.

• Zero Trust for mobile endpoints: Device trust scoring, MDM/MAM integration (Intune, Jamf), and mobile application management.

• Mobile observability and resilience: Experience with crash intelligence platforms and defining mobile-specific SLOs/SLIs that feed into SRE design reviews.

• Certifications: Professional credentials that bridge the gap between Dev and Sec (e.g., CASE, GWEB, or CISSP).

• Industry Leadership: Experience navigating the unique security and regulatory requirements of the Financial Services sector.
