Mobile Acceptance Architect (SoftPOS, NFC & CPACE)

Mobile Acceptance Architect – SoftPOS, NFC & CPACE (Remote)

Imagine turning standard commercial smartphones into secure, certified payment terminals for Europe’s next-generation Digital Currency – with zero external hardware. We are looking for a Mobile Acceptance Architect to lead the design of this cutting-edge merchant acceptance layer.

What you will own:

• SoftPOS & SDK Strategy: Architect native mobile frameworks and security wrappers for CPACE contactless acceptance, web checkouts, and app-to-app flows.

• Low-Level Hardware & OS Adaptation: Design low-level logic interfacing directly with Android/iOS NFC controllers, Secure Elements (SE), and Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL).

• CPACE & EMVCo Compliance: Translate complex European contactless payment specifications (CPACE, EMVCo L1/L2) into executable mobile software blueprints.

• Edge Security: Partner with cryptography teams to implement White-box Cryptography, RASP, and secure PIN-on-glass mechanisms on COTS devices.

What we are looking for:

• 6+ years of architectural experience in SoftPOS, mPOS, digital wallets (Apple Pay/Google Wallet architectures), or embedded terminal firmware.

• Strong background in native mobile platforms (Android/iOS), low-level C/C++, and secure memory management.

• Deep knowledge of EMVCo Level 1/Level 2 Contactless Kernels, NFC protocols (ISO/IEC 14443), and CPACE.

If low-level mobile security, NFC kernels, and greenfield SoftPOS architecture are your playground – let’s talk! Drop me a message or apply below.
