Job Description:

We are looking for a Senior iOS Engineer II to work on our flagship consumer iOS app, used by millions across the world. We are an Editor’s Choice app, routinely featured on stage by Apple at various keynotes and events.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include building new features, refining existing ones, fixing bugs and adding unit tests. Also on the menu are the usual refactoring of existing code to keep it current, writing tools that help us test and debug the app more easily. Most of the time you’ll work in Xcode, writing Swift. Our consumer iOS engineers also maintain a Java codebase serving public APIs used by the apps.

Our team is cross-functional, co-located with product and design. You will enjoy working very closely with our designers and product managers, suggesting technical solutions to product problems, and being mentored by a stellar team of seasoned engineers.

We are a lean team, moving fast and always on top of iOS updates. We have a passion for building great consumer products, with a great user experience.

Responsibilities:

• Implement new product features, working closely with designers and product managers
• Collaborate with backend teams to define internal APIs used by our apps
• Collaborate with Product and Design teams on product requirements, A/B test design and feature rollout
• Maintain the existing codebase, adding unit tests, refactoring existing code as needed
• Help maintain backend / middleware services used by diner apps
• Contribute to the app’s overall architecture to keep it up to date, including migration to SwiftUI, adoption of Swift concurrency, migration to MVVM, upgrading system frameworks, etc.
• Mentor and guide other team members in their journey to become world class engineers

Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience in iOS development, proficient in Swift
• Demonstrated cross-functional collaboration with product managers, designers, QA and backend teams
• Have an eye for good design, and be passionate about consumer product development in general
• Experience with unit testing
• Backend experience highly preferred (Java, Spring, REST APIs in general)

Benefits and Perks:

• Generous paid vacation + time off for your birthday
• Work from (almost) anywhere for up to 20 days per year
• Focus on mental health and well-being:
  • Company-paid therapy sessions through SpringHealth
  • Company-paid subscription to Headspace
  • Annual company-wide week off a year - the whole team fully recharges (and returns without a pile-up of work!)
• Paid parental leave
• Focus on your career growth:
  • Development Dollars
  • Leadership development
  • Access to thousands of on-demand e-learnings
• Travel Discounts
• Employee Resource Groups
• Private health and dental insurance
• Life and Disability insurance

There are a variety of factors that go into determining a salary range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data, geographic location, and years of experience sought/required. The range for this Toronto, Canada based role is $130,000-$150,000 CAD.

We offer a competitive base salary and benefits including: health benefits; flexible spending account; retirement benefits; life insurance; paid time off (including PTO, paid sick leave, medical leave, bereavement leave, floating holidays and paid holidays); and parental leave benefits. This role is eligible to be considered for an annual bonus and equity grant.

At OpenTable, we pride ourselves on fostering a global and dynamic work environment. As a team member with us, you will benefit from a schedule tailored to accommodate a global workforce operating across multiple time zones.

OpenTable will always abide by and consider local laws and regulations.
