Write high-quality Swift and SwiftUI code using structured concurrency and clean state management.
Improve production health and reliability through instrumentation, debugging, monitoring, and incident support.
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, backend, and Android teams to co-create consistent experiences.
Mentor and support teammates through pairing, knowledge-sharing, and constructive code reviews.
Advance our developer experience and workflows, including exploring the thoughtful use of AI-assisted development tools.
Skills We Value
Deep experience building and shipping iOS apps using Swift and SwiftUI in production environments.
Proficiency with structured concurrency, Swift Package Manager, and XCTest with a pragmatic approach to testing.
Strong architectural and systems reasoning with the ability to evaluate and communicate trade-offs clearly.
Experience leading complex or ambiguous work and bringing clarity and direction to others.
Collaborative communication skills that build trust and alignment within cross-functional teams.
Interest in mentoring and enabling others through pairing, review culture, and shared growth.
Curiosity and initiative in exploring new tools, patterns, and approaches to improve how we work.
Why You’ll Love Working Here:
Help shape mobile-first creativity tools used by millions worldwide.
Work with a fast, reliable release pipeline enabling rapid iteration and learning.
Explore AI-assisted development workflows, prototypes, and new ideas.
Grow in a supportive environment with shared ownership and thoughtful collaboration.
