Senior Software Engineer - iOS
5 years ago
Our mobile engineers are dedicated to continually building new features for the tens of millions of people using our app every day. Come help us build the iOS version of a voice and text chat app that helps create meaningful relationships with each other! This will be an opportunity to shape the foundation and future of iOS at Discord.
We’re looking for product-driven, thoughtful mobile engineers who have strong attention to detail, strong understanding of UX design, and very importantly, compassion for our users. We encourage our engineers to follow their interests while maintaining real ownership over their work.
What you'll be doing
- Refine and modernize our iOS app in React Native and Objective-C (and Swift! Brackets be gone).
- Work on meaningful, large-scale, mobile-first initiatives to allow for users to have more delightful conversations, enjoy game perks (coming soon!), and support the product.
- Architect elegant and maintainable code with a focus on autonomy and support from the team.
- Build intuitive features to improve the experience specifically for mobile users (this is still an open ended problem here! Help us come up with great new ideas).
- Collaborate with design, data, and business teams to build beautiful interfaces that look great and run smoothly.
- Drive and improve the technical direction of mobile, bolstering the technical foundational, improving performance, and re-architecting as needed.
What you should have
- 4+ years of experience with React Native, React, Objective-C, or Swift (our iOS app is built on React Native)
- Experience developing and shipping real-world iPhone and/or iPad applications (or personal side projects that contribute to the iOS community with a shown passion for engineering and product sense)
- Strong product sense and pursuit for good user experience
Benefits and Perks
- Medical, Dental, Vision and Life insurance (options for individual and/or family, including One Medical membership for health) and Disability benefits
- Commuter subsidies, healthcare and/or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
- 4 weeks of PTO (alongside 14 paid holidays and use-what-you-need sick days)
- Parental Leave
- Well-being programs, including fitness allowance (we have yoga once a week in our office!)
- 401(K) plans
- Catered lunches Monday-Friday and a fully-stocked kitchen (snacks and beverages galore!)
- Regular company and team social events such as game nights, happy hours and events
- An annual desk fund to make your space truly yours
- Headphone allowance
- Internal Learning and Development workshops to help with continued personal and professional growth
