Job description

About Factal:

Factal is a risk intelligence and breaking news company that helps the world’s largest organizations protect people, avoid disruptions and expedite disaster relief. Powered by a hybrid of advanced AI and experienced journalists, Factal detects and verifies critical events like severe weather, conflict and crime in real time. Trusted by many of the world’s most prominent companies and more than 250 humanitarian NGOs, Factal’s products include a web platform, mobile app and data products that are sold on an annual basis.

About this role:

Factal is seeking a full-time mobile developer to join our Seattle-based technology team (remote US/UK resident candidates welcome).

Your role would be developing native mobile applications for both iOS and Android. This would include both user interfaces as well as framework code in both apps. The apps communicate with an evolving internal backend as well as public APIs and the ideal person would have experience with both. We’re looking for someone who can drive both large and small features within the apps without having to be told all the individual steps. (It also wouldn’t hurt if you knew a little Python.)

The ideal candidate:

• Has experience developing a lightweight, responsive native app on either iOS or Android- ideally on both
• Has experience with declarative user interface frameworks (SwiftUI or Compose ideally)
• Has experience with interacting with internal APIs and ability to understand how the backend works
• Has experience working on high-use, large-scale applications
• Doesn't need complex instructions/specs/workflows to get things done
• Prefers to work for a small company, one with a mission, and wants to contribute

Some benefits to working at Factal:

• Full medical, vision, and dental coverage
• Basic life insurance policy fully covered by Factal
• Generous paid time off
• 12 paid holidays
• Parental leave up to 12 weeks paid
• 401(k)
• Stock options
• Lots of dog pics
• Flexible working hours (we are are a 24/7 operation with people all over the world)

The base salary range for this role is $125,000-$140,000. Compensation is a mix of base salary, bonus and stock options. Salary will be commensurate with experience.

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States/United Kingdom without the need for employer sponsorship. Please note that a background check will be conducted as part of the hiring process.
