About the Position

Software Engineer, iOS

We are looking for someone to join us as a member on the iOS team. This means participating in all design and product decisions of the early days of a product-centric company.

In the initial months, you'll be working closely with the founding team, gradually taking ownership of central components and features. Given our stage, we're seeking versatile engineers comfortable contributing to various aspects of the company's foundation.

We value team members who delve deep into their respective domains, aiming to cultivate a team of subject matter experts with a high sense of ownership. This commitment to expertise is an expectation for every team member.

Responsibilities

Platform Development

• Participating in the creation and improvements of the platform to increase the velocity and quality of the work of the whole development team.
• Writing careful abstractions that other iOS team members also use, such as Media encoding, decoding, and playback; libraries that incorporate performance tracing along with associated internal tooling; our own components for dealing with Navigation and Deeplinks across apps, etc.

Roadmap Creation and Ideation

• Actively contributing to the roadmap creation and ideation.
• Helping identify the right tradeoffs and bringing ideas from a product and engineering perspective.

Knowledge Sharing

• Proactively addressing issues and triaging bug fixes.

Requirements

• Good understanding of computer systems fundamentals (Memory, Cache friendliness, Linking, Multithreading, etc.).
• Professional or academic experience in low-level languages like C or C++, is a big plus.
• Experience in Graphics Programming using either OpenGL or Metal, is a plus.
• Passion and experience building consumer-facing products! We’d love to hear about apps you've made!

• On-site work in a beautiful Parisian-style office with high ceilings, balconies, and huge windows.

These pauses are part of your total vacation time, giving everyone a real chance to unplug and recharge. No Slack, no email, no FOMO.
