The Hiring Process

During the hiring process, you’ll have a chance to interact with several members of our team. We strongly encourage you to bring any questions to anybody you interact with. You’re interviewing us as much as we’re interviewing you.

The teammates you’ll encounter along the way:

Our Recruiting and Growth Strategist
A few of our Senior Engineering Managers
Several developers from the Mobile Team
The Mobile Engineering Manager you’ll report to

For equitable reasons, we typically provide candidates with a timeline for hiring, so they can plan accordingly and determine early on in the process whether or not they can afford to wait on us; however, this particular round will stay open until all positions have been filled. Should you be offered a position here, the hiring team will discuss a start date that fits your schedule.

Below is an outline of the steps in our hiring process.

Step One: Apply with a resume and cover letter. Your cover letter should speak directly to your interest in this position. We want to know what got you into mobile development, how your experience has set you up for success in this role, and why you want to join our team.

(A word of caution for those using AI cover letters: When compared to the hundreds of other candidates who did the exact same thing, it becomes painfully obvious who took the AI first draft. If you’re going to use these tools, we ask that you use them well. Please give our recruiter something a bit more human to read.)

Step Two: If selected to move forward, an invitation to an online coding assessment to get a rough understanding of your developer prowess and skills
Step Three: Initial “blind screen” with our recruiter to get to know one another and discuss work and culture
Step Four: Pairing and Technical Interview over Zoom with a few members of the team (we’ll discuss your work experience, methodologies, and you can ask lingering questions you have about us)
Step Five: Pending all goes well, we’ll extend an offer

Qualifications

Proven track record of publishing and maintaining large-scale iOS apps with a big user base

Strong grasp of mobile architecture, design patterns, and best practices
Sharp problem-solving skills and keen attention to detail
