Position Description

Providing a great mobile user experience is crucial to us, and we a€™re always looking for talented iOS developers to help us reach the next level.

By joining our team, you’ll get the opportunity to work on many of our projects as part of a team of top iOS experts from around the world.

We place a high emphasis both on pixel perfect designs and clean, highly performant logic implementations.

We don’™t cut corners, and we don’t make compromises. In this position, you will be working closely with world-class designers and back-end developers to create beautiful iOS apps that are polished, fast, well-tested, and a joy to use.

This is a remote position that can be done from anywhere. However, we do things like rent out hotels in Africa or mansions in Thailand, and you will certainly be invited to come work with us.

  • An excellent understanding of development and testing methodologies, object-oriented and protocol-oriented programming best practices, and automated software testing approaches.
  • You must have a strong, successful record of developing iOS apps from scratch.
  • Strong experience with mobile UX is a big plus.
  • Be excited about collaborating daily with your team and other groups while working via a distributed model.
  • Be comfortable with iterative and incremental development.
  • Be eager to help your teammates, share your knowledge with them, and learn from them.
  • Be open to receiving constructive feedback.
