• Building beautiful, smooth, delightful mobile experiences.
• Mentoring other engineers and providing technical leadership to the team through forums like tech talks.
• Using your in-depth knowledge of all things iOS to help drive technical conversations with peers from different backgrounds, across different teams.

We’re excited about you because you:

• Have experience building iOS applications in a production environment using Swift.
• Stay up-to-date and experiment with the latest iOS technologies.
• Have a product-focused mindset. Our team works together to deliver projects that use technology to solve real business problems.
• Enjoy working on mobile apps at all levels – from networking up to user interfaces and everything in between.
• Have expertise in building maintainable and testable code bases, including API design and unit testing techniques.
• Can collaborate with iOS, Android, and Server engineers in order to ship features.
• Have experience with or are excited to learn more about developing trust and safety solutions such as reporting, moderation, and blocking and muting.
