Who we're looking for:
As an iOS Engineer, you are an experienced mobile engineer excited about building innovative next-generation social good platforms to empower nonprofits to do their world-changing work. You are someone who cares about code quality and craft but also has an intrinsic motivation to deliver value to the customer and knows how to balance both. Ideally, you have experience in both native iOS development and React Native, with a general knowledge of how to design features or systems effectively.
Part of the job requires good communication and organisational skills. You should be able to translate ideas and requirements into deliverable work units. You can collaborate with technical and non-technical audiences and always strive to improve yourself and those around you. You believe everyone has something to contribute, value diversity and inclusion, and enjoy mentoring others to help them grow.
In this role, you “own” the technical quality, execution, and delivery of user stories.
What you’ll do:
* Bring your mobile and iOS expertise to collaborate with a close-knit engineering team building social good platforms.
* Responsible for writing and testing both native Swift code and React Native code.
* Work closely with members of your team to ensure design and implementation meet product needs.
* Help architect, design, and implement reusable, well-tested software components.
* Proactively review the code of others, providing feedback on design and implementation choices.
* Collaborate with other engineers and subject matter experts early and often throughout development to ensure sound architecture design decisions, provide a delightful customer experience, and raise money for charities that impact the world.
* Follow code standards and best practices for the iOS platform.
* Work with Product Owners and UX/Designers to ensure complete and proper implementation.
* Ensure the security, integrity, and resilience of the application.
Our Ideal Candidate:
* 3+ years of professional iOS engineering experience.
* Proficiency in Swift and either UIKit or SwiftUI.
* Experience building and managing view hierarchies, as well as creating reusable components and understanding the lifecycle of UI elements.
* Familiarity with handling RESTful APIs and JSON data parsing, including managing requests, handling errors, retries, and cancellation.
* Understanding of how to implement persistent storage (e.g. Core Data/Realm).
* Solid understanding of iOS frameworks, design patterns, and best practices.
* Hands-on experience developing with React Native.
* Experience designing and building features from concept to launch.
* Experience end-to-end testing and unit testing (XCTest).
* Comfortable operating in environments subject to regulatory, compliance, and risk-based security requirements.
* Effective communicator in teams of technical and non-technical individuals (product, marketing, subject matter experts, etc.).
* Engage engineers to support a culture of collaboration and inclusion through mentorship, respectful code review, and dedication to quality.
* You are passionate about voicing your opinions and can be humble in receiving feedback.
* You have a track record of trying and learning new things and are unafraid to learn through failures.
