What this job asks for AI summary
A senior engineering role focused on embedding identity and authentication capabilities into native iOS and Android applications for a Department of Defense access management program. Day-to-day work centers on integrating Okta Identity Engine SDKs, implementing phishing-resistant authentication (FIDO2/WebAuthn, CAC/PIV), and building secure enrollment and credential workflows that meet federal standards such as NIST SP 800-63. Suits an experienced mobile engineer with a strong background in enterprise identity protocols rather than consumer app development. Fully remote.

Why we read it this way (11)
The JD states 'Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust' — this is a suitability determination, not a formal US security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
Degree requirement is None: the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.
Total years minimum is 8, derived from the primary experience gate ('Minimum of 8 years with BS/BA'); the lower figures (6 with MS, 3 with PhD) are degree-based substitutions for the same gate.
Kotlin and Java are listed together as the Android language requirement ('Kotlin/Java'); Kotlin is the primary name with Java as an alternative since either satisfies the requirement.
FIDO2 and WebAuthn are listed together as a single phishing-resistant authentication requirement; emitted as one skill with the other as an alternative.
Universal Links and Android App Links are listed together as a single routing requirement; emitted as one skill with the other as an alternative.
'Federal IAM' and 'identity federation' appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
The role title carries no seniority level word; the title states no level. The 8-year experience gate and breadth of ownership support a Senior classification.
The alt SOC (15-1212 Information Security Analysts) reflects the strong Federal identity/cybersecurity emphasis, but the primary day-to-day work is writing and integrating native mobile application code, making 15-1252 the better fit.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): OWASP Mobile Top 10, NIST SP 800-63.
