Project Overview

We are looking for a developer to build a Kotlin SDK for Android mobile applications. This SDK will serve as a wrapper around our company's existing APIs and services. The project will be built from scratch, and the selected contractor will be responsible for the complete development and delivery cycle.

Core Features

The SDK will provide a comprehensive set of features to support various security and verification needs. Among the key capabilities are KYC processing for Know Your Customer verification, liveness detection to verify user presence, and fraud checks to help protect against security threats.

Team Collaboration

The developer will work closely with several internal teams throughout the project. This includes our backend development team, who manage the APIs that the SDK will connect to. The developer will also coordinate with our AI development team, particularly on the liveness detection and fraud-checking features. Additionally, the product team will be involved to ensure the SDK meets business requirements and user needs.

Project Scope

This project starts from scratch with no existing codebase. The developer will need to initialize the project structure and set up the development environment. This includes setting up the Kotlin SDK project with proper configuration and build tools.

A key part of the work involves creating a demo application. This demo app will serve as a testing environment for the SDK features. The demo will allow both the development team and internal stakeholders to review and test the SDK functionality throughout the development process.

Delivery Requirements

The final deliverables include several components. The completed SDK must be fully functional and ready for production use. The demo application should be in a state that allows it to continue serving as a testing tool. The SDK needs to be published to a package management system so that other development teams can easily install and use it. Finally, basic documentation must be provided to help developers integrate and use the SDK.
