OneSignal is a leading omnichannel customer engagement solution, powering personalized customer journeys across mobile and web push notifications, in-app messaging, SMS, and email. On a mission to democratize engagement, we enable over a million businesses to keep their users - including readers, fans, players and shoppers - engaged and up to date by delivering billions of messages daily.

1 in 5 new apps launches using OneSignal! We support companies in 140 countries, including Zynga, USA Today, Bitcoin.com, Eventbrite, Tribune, and many more - from startups and small businesses just getting off the ground to established companies communicating with millions of customers.

We’re Series C, venture-backed by SignalFire, Rakuten Ventures, Y Combinator, HubSpot, and BAM Elevate. We offer remote work as the default option in the United States in California, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Washington. As well as in the UK and Singapore - with plans to expand the locations we support in the future. Some roles are hybrid roles and will be listed as such. We have offices in San Mateo, CA and London, UK, and offer flex seating options for employees to work together in-person where we don't have offices.

OneSignal has a lot of the great tech startup qualities you'd expect, but we don't stop there. Our massive scale and small team, emphasis on healthy life balance and kindness in all our interactions, and focus on ownership and personal growth make OneSignal a uniquely great place to work.

About The Team:

As an SDK-centric company, we’re constantly evolving our offerings and improving the Developer Experience across the board. With that objective in mind, we are looking for experienced Software Engineers to join our SDK Team.

The SDK Team is responsible for the components of our software stack that we ship to our customers. These include client libraries for our REST API, CLI Tools, libraries embedded in customer applications (e.g. the Android SDK), and associated tooling and resources.

Understanding how to better serve our developers is part of the work we do in the SDK Team.

What You'll Do:

• Leading the design, development, and maintenance of robust, high-quality SDKs used by OneSignal clients across multiple platforms, ensuring seamless integration, performance, and developer experience.
• Solving challenging business use-cases in a project with elegant, readable code and clear tests.
• Developing prototypes and analyzing user needs and software requirements to determine feasibility of design within time and cost constraints.
• Crafting APIs that are both robust and easy to use for a wide range of use cases.
• Engaging with developers on GitHub, troubleshooting customer issues, and developing or directing software system testing or validation procedures, programming, or documentation.
• Researching ecosystem trends, upstream software changes, and deepening domain knowledge.

What You'll Bring:

• At least 8 years experience working as a software engineer.
• Experience writing SDKs, Client Libraries, or other Developer Tools.
• Deep experience with developing applications for one or more of the following platforms: Android, iOS, Web, Unity, .Net/Xamarin, React Native, Flutter, Cordova.
• Comfortable working in a distributed team with autonomy.
• Passion for building tools for frontend developers.
• Experience interacting with RESTful and RPC APIs.

Preferred skills and experience:

• Broad knowledge of development environments.
• Active engagement with a developer community.
• Enjoys interacting with a developer ecosystem and is experienced in leveraging empathy for making better developer products.
