About iVerify

We are Experts in Mobile Threat Hunting. The first mobile threat hunting company to protect mobile devices like any other vulnerable corporate endpoint.

The mobile security market has a problem. Simply put, current solutions fail to meet the sophistication of modern threats or the growing privacy desires of mobile device users. We believe that it is time for something new. Not only because we care deeply about the safety of frontline users like journalists and activists - many of whom are doing important and often dangerous work - but because enterprises and consumers deserve real protection from advanced mobile threats without sacrificing privacy.

We are building the first mobile threat hunting company to harmonize security and privacy in the face of a new class of mobile threats. Supported by some of the most well-respected VC firms, we aim to become the go-to mobile security solution for individuals who want to know they can trust their devices with their most sensitive information – without sacrificing privacy.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Python Engineer to join the team that builds the data backbone of our mobile EDR platform. You'll build the systems that ingest data at scale from mobile endpoints, run the ETL and detection pipelines that process it, and architect the extraction of complex data from mobile forensic artefacts.

You'll work hand in hand with our research team, implementing their prototypes, productionizing their detection logic, and building the tooling and data access they need to go deeper. This is a role for a strong backend engineer who enjoys hard data problems: high-volume ingestion, messy real-world artefacts, and pipelines that have to be both fast and correct.

The stack is fully Python, running on AWS Fargate, EC2, and Serverless.

Key Responsibilities

  • Data Ingestion at Scale: Design, build, and operate pipelines that ingest large volumes of telemetry from mobile endpoints reliably and efficiently.
  • ETL & Detection Pipelines: Build and maintain the ETL processes that transform raw data, and implement the detection logic that runs across it to surface threats.
  • Forensic Artefact Extraction: Architect the extraction and parsing of complex data from mobile forensic artefacts, handling the varied and often undocumented structures these artefacts contain.
  • Partnering with Research: Work closely with the research team to implement their prototypes in production, translate their detection ideas into robust pipeline logic, and build the data access and tooling they need to uncover mobile spyware.
  • Scalability & Reliability: Ensure the data platform performs at scale, optimizing throughput, query performance, and cost across large datasets, with strong reliability and fault tolerance.
  • Data Quality & Observability: Build monitoring, validation, and error-handling into the pipelines so data issues are caught early and the system is observable end to end.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
