About the Role

Are you passionate about shaping the future of mobile security? At BlackBerry, we are looking for a Principal Mobile Security Expert to act as a technical leader and strategic guide for our mobile security division. In this role, you will seamlessly blend strategic thinking with hands-on practice. Rather than acting as a solitary gatekeeper, you’ll be a collaborative partner—working closely with a talented team to secure our most critical assets. If you love diving deep into code to solve complex challenges while also shaping high-level security architecture, you will thrive here.

Your Impact

You won't just set the standards; you will champion them by leading by example. You will guide the security assessments for our trusted mobile solutions, ensuring our applications remain resilient against emerging threats. Working collaboratively with engineering teams and external approval authorities (such as the BSI), you’ll help translate complex security requirements into actionable, innovative protocols that drive our products forward.

What You Will Do

• Collaborative Leadership: Drive our security assessment strategy while staying technically hands-on. You’ll validate critical vulnerabilities and work alongside the team to resolve high-risk findings.
• Technical Guidance & Support: Serve as a trusted technical advisor. Whether it’s supporting the team with complex reverse engineering, analyzing cryptography, or providing clear engineering recommendations, your expertise will empower the entire group.
• Compliance & Partnership: Partner with external authorities and internal stakeholders to translate security requirements into clear, practical assessment protocols, ensuring smooth and successful software approvals.
• Threat Analysis & Innovation: Champion the integration of cutting-edge, AI-driven analysis tools to make our security assessments deeper, faster, and smarter.
• Mentorship & Team Growth: Foster a culture of continuous learning by mentoring engineers on advanced assessment methodologies, threat modeling, and industry best practices.

What We Are Looking For

• Extensive hands-on experience in mobile security, vulnerability assessment, and threat modeling.
• A strong technical background with the ability and willingness to perform deep-technical assessments (e.g., reverse engineering, cryptographic analysis) when complex challenges arise.
• A collaborative mindset with a proven track record of mentoring teams and guiding security strategies.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to act as a confident liaison between technical engineering teams and regulatory bodies.
