Worker Sub-Type: RegularJob Description:Join BlackBerry – Where Innovation Meets ImpactSecusmart, a rapidly growing subsidiary of BlackBerry Limited, is the leading expert in comprehensive anti-eavesdropping solutions for private and government agencies, as well as organizations responsible for emergency services. We secure enterprise information and applications on today’s most popular mobile devices and desktop platforms, protecting both business and personal data.This is a unique opportunity for someone who likes to tinker, solve problems, and get excited about making things work — even if you're just starting out and ready to learn quickly with minimal handholding. Whether you're building sleek UIs, diving into backend services, or doing prototyping, you’ll find a place here to grow and make an impact.We keep things loose with a flat hierarchy, and we’re not afraid to crack a joke or two. If you thrive in a culture where people come before processes and where getting things done is what counts, you’ll find your home here.What You’ll Be Doing:
  • Work on the cutting edge of application systems security across mobile and desktop platforms
  • Collaborate with a team that values your input and keeps things light
  • Help companies and governments mitigate cybersecurity threats
  • Develop commercial-grade software using modern frameworks and state-of-the-art AI-enabled engineering tools
  • Contribute to architectural discussions and design decisions
  • Apply a scientific and empirical approach to analysis and development
  • Embrace experimentation, learn from mistakes, and iterate quickly
  • Bring your hackathon mindset — rapid prototyping, creative problem solving, and cross-functional collaboration — to everyday work
  • Jump into different roles as needed — developer, debugger, tester, architect, or even product designer — whatever it takes to get things done
What You Bring to the Table:
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience and demonstrable skills
  • Ability to develop software in agile environments with rapidly evolving priorities
  • Exposure to core computer science principles (OOP, algorithms, debugging, performance optimization, etc.)
  • Strong proficiency in at least one modern object-oriented compiled language such as Java, Objective-C, C++, C#, or Swift
  • Adaptability — Eagerness and willingness to quickly learn new technologies, tools, languages, frameworks, or operating systems
  • Generalist mindset — Comfortable taking on new challenges and delivering results, with a focus on developing problem-solving skills over platform-specific knowledge
  • An interest in emerging AI technologies and/or cryptography
Who You Are:
  • A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and continuously seeks to improve
  • A collaborative team player who values feedback, knowledge sharing, and learning from others
  • Humble enough to recognize when to ask for help and learn from others rather than trying to be a hero
  • A relentless problem solver who is driven by deep curiosity and a burning need to figure things out and make things better
  • Comfortable adapting to new challenges and unfamiliar technologies rapidly
  • Excited by dynamic environments and the opportunity to contribute to impactful solutions
  • A generalist at heart, comfortable working across the stack and exploring new tools and technologies
  • Someone who lives and breathes technology — whether it’s building apps, attending hackathons, tinkering with hardware like single-board computers or 3D printers, home automation, or exploring new tools just for fun
  • A lifelong learner who continuously and actively seeks knowledge from peers, mentors, and emerging trends
