We are seeking an experienced Senior Mobile SDK Developer to create and maintain our cross-platform solution. The ideal candidate should have a deep understanding of mobile technologies, network protocols, and data security, as well as significant experience in developing SDKs for critical systems.

What you'll do:

• Own the Rust core: service logic, networking, data sync, offline mode.
• Build and maintain native layers: Kotlin with JNI, Swift with C interop, C# with P/Invoke for Unity.
• Design and maintain the API our internal product teams build on, including backward compatibility.
• Handle builds, packaging, and releases across all supported platforms.

Must-have:

• 5+ years of overall engineering experience; 1+ year of Rust in production (yes, one year — we care about engineering maturity, not just Rust tenure).
• Confident with async, threads, synchronization, queues, and deadlock debugging.
• Practical FFI experience: extern "C", JNI, memory management across the language boundary.
• Experience with local databases, including version-to-version migration and resilient-first / data-preservation-first design.
• Comfortable building under real constraints: limited RAM, disk, and battery.
• At least one or two platform stacks — Android, Apple, Unity, or Windows (not all four; the architecture is documented and patterns are consistent, so you'll pick up the rest on the job).
• Experience shipping and maintaining an SDK or library used by other teams.
• English at a level comfortable reading/writing technical documentation.
• A macOS machine to work from (required for building the Apple targets — no way around this one).

If your Rust is under a year but you've got real C++, C, or Zig experience — reach out, let's talk.

Nice to have:

• uniffi or similar binding generators.
• CI/CD and package publishing experience (SwiftPM, Maven, UPM).
• In-app purchases (Play Billing, StoreKit).
• Game development experience.
• Mobile binary size optimization.

What we offer:

• 100% payment of vacations and sick leave [20 days vacation, 22 days sick leave], medical insurance.
• A team of the best professionals in the games industry.
• Flexible schedule [start of work from 8 to 11, 8 hours/day].
• L&D center with courses.
• Self-learning library, access to paid courses.
• Stable payments.
