Job description
If you’re a talented and experienced Apple engineer with an appetite for learning, we want you to help us build a safer, more open internet for millions of people worldwide.
Who you are
You’re a natural at solving problems, and you have experience working on teams that know how to deliver results. You aren’t afraid of change, and you ask the questions that need to be asked. A lack of clarity is something you can’t settle for, and you voice your concerns when the balance between effort and impact seems off.
As someone with a growth mindset, you’re naturally collaborative and always willing to hear ideas from your colleagues. Likewise, you’re willing to share your own knowledge and mentor others.
What you’ll do
You’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality code, implementing best practices, and contributing to the overall architecture and design of our Apple applications. You’ll play a critical role in developing and maintaining our Apple applications using Swift and SwiftUI, ensuring high performance, responsiveness, and reliability. You can expect to:
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and backend developers, to define and implement new features and enhancements
- Work closely with the UI/UX designers to create visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces
- Write clean, well-structured, and maintainable code following object-oriented programming (OOP) principles and best practices
- Implement unit tests and contribute to a test-driven development (TDD) approach to ensure code quality and reliability
- Participate in code reviews to ensure adherence to coding standards, quality, and performance
- Stay up-to-date with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in iOS/tvOS/iPadOS development and share knowledge with the team
We approach engineering through the following principles: Testing by default, always CI/CD, data and automation-centered, with security at the core. We empower our engineers to make their own decisions about the tools and technologies that best address the problems they are trying to solve.
What you’ll bring
- Solid understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts and Clean Code principles
- Experience with Clean Architecture and other common architectures and the pros and cons of each
- Proficiency in using iOS frameworks and APIs, including UIKit, SwiftUI, tvOS, watchOS, and Combine
- Experience with RESTful APIs, JSON, and web services integration
- Knowledge of software development lifecycle (SDLC) processes, including version control (e.g., Git), code review, and continuous integration
- Experience with unit testing and test-driven development (TDD) is highly valued
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field is preferred
How you’ll succeed
Your success in this role will be measured by:
- Your capacity to consistently develop and deliver Apple applications that meet or exceed quality standards, are bug-free, and enhance user experience
- Your skill in effectively addressing complex technical issues, optimizing performance, and ensuring the scalability and robustness of our Apple apps
- Your ability to design and implement technical solutions while staying ahead of industry trends
- Your contributions to the growth and development of the Apple development team through mentoring junior engineers, sharing knowledge, and facilitating a collaborative and innovative environment
- Your role in achieving key project milestones, including successful app launches, updates, and integrations that improve our Apple app’s functionality and user engagement
- Your impact on user satisfaction as reflected in App Store ratings, reviews, and feedback
How we’ll support you
We believe in fostering an environment that empowers decision-making at all levels. Our culture is rooted in the inverted pyramid approach, where the engineers, who have a deep understanding of the product and the customers, are the ones who have the knowledge and the authority to make impactful decisions.
- We prioritize treating every team member with respect and promote open and constructive feedback, ensuring a culture of trust and transparency
- We encourage learning through experimentation and provide a safe space for everyone to learn from their experiences
- Our managers are dedicated to facilitating career growth and creating an environment that attracts and supports talented engineers
