Jobbeschreibung

If you're a talented and experienced Apple engineer with an appetite for learning, we want you to help us build a safer, more open internet for millions of people worldwide.

Who you are

You’re a natural at solving problems, and you have experience working on teams that know how to deliver results. You aren’t afraid of change, and you ask the questions that need to be asked. A lack of clarity is something you can’t settle for, and you voice your concerns when the balance between effort and impact seems off.

As someone with a growth mindset, you’re naturally collaborative and always willing to hear ideas from your colleagues. Likewise, you’re willing to share your own knowledge and mentor others.

What you’ll do

You’ll be responsible for delivering high‑quality code, implementing best practices, and contributing to the overall architecture and design of our Apple applications. You’ll play a critical role in developing and maintaining our Apple applications using Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit, ensuring high performance, responsiveness, and reliability. You can expect to:

• Help define and implement the application architecture
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams, including product managers, designers, and backend developers, to define and implement new features and enhancements
• Work closely with the UI/UX designers to create visually appealing and user‑friendly interfaces
• Write clean, well‑structured, and maintainable code following OOP principles and best practices
• Implement unit tests and contribute to a TDD approach to ensure code quality and reliability
• Participate in code reviews to ensure adherence to coding standards, quality, and performance
• Stay up‑to‑date with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in iOS/tvOS/iPadOS/macOS development and share knowledge with the team

We approach engineering through the following principles: Testing by default, always CI/CD, data and automation‑centered, with security at the core. We empower our engineers to make their own decisions about the tools and technologies that best address the problems they are trying to solve.

What you’ll bring

• Solid understanding of OOP concepts and Clean Code principles
• Experience with common architectures and the pros and cons of each
\
• Proficiency in using iOS frameworks and APIs, including UIKit, SwiftUI, tvOS, watchOS, and Combine
• Experience with RESTful APIs, JSON, and web services integration
• Knowledge of SDLC processes, including version control (e.g., Git), code review, and continuous integration
• Demonstrated ability to write well‑structured, modular, and maintainable code
• Experience with unit testing and TDD is highly valued
• Strong problem‑solving and debugging skills
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field is preferred

How you’ll succeed

Your success in this role will be measured by:

• Consistently developing and delivering Apple applications that meet or exceed quality standards, are bug‑free, and enhance user experience
• Effectively addressing complex technical issues, optimizing performance, and ensuring the scalability and robustness of our Apple apps
• Designing and implementing technical solutions while staying ahead of industry trends
• Mentoring junior engineers, sharing knowledge, and facilitating a collaborative and innovative environment
• Achieving key project milestones, including successful app launches, updates, and integrations that improve our Apple app’s functionality and user engagement
• Impact on user satisfaction as reflected in App Store ratings, reviews, and feedback

How we’ll support you

We believe in fostering an environment that empowers decision‑making at all levels. Our culture is rooted in the inverted pyramid approach, where the engineers, who have a deep understanding of the product and the customers, are the ones who have the knowledge and the authority to make impactful decisions.

• We prioritize treating every team member with respect and promote open and constructive feedback, ensuring a culture of trust and transparency
• We encourage learning through experimentation and provide a safe space for everyone to learn from their experiences
• Our managers are dedicated to facilitating career growth and creating an environment that attracts and supports talented engineers
