Senior iOS Developer

Steamclock is looking for a Senior iOS Developer with experience building iOS-based products. If you have a track record of shipping beautiful, high-quality apps, we’d love to chat!

Steamclock is a profitable and growing studio in Gastown that makes very nice mobile software. We focus on shipping great products and building the kind of company we want to work at.

Over the past 14+ years, we’ve designed and developed customer-facing mobile apps for experience-centric companies like Mozilla, Indochino, Ridwell, Hootsuite, and Arc'teryx.

We also build tools for ourselves and the open-source community, like BlueJay , Netable , and NiceComponents .

Like in any small company, you’ll have the chance to wear many hats ranging from technical leadership, to development, to consulting with clients, to working on open-source contributions.

In short, you’ll be helping to develop our apps and our team. We’re building the best darn software studio in town, and your skills and perspective will help us bring that to the next level.

Most of the work can be done remotely, though we’re looking for candidates who are able to work full-time in Canada during regular Pacific Time business hours.

You'll have the opportunity to work on :

• Building nice iOS apps in Swift
• Developing cross-platform apps in tools like Kotlin Multiplatform and React Native
• Contributing to special projects like open source libraries, backend APIs, and product experiments

• Collaborating with teams of 2-5 people to ship multiple products a year
• Helping the team to grow by teaching, mentoring, and modelling best practices
• Guiding the team through technical decisions and establishing new processes

• Minimizing the need for meetings with proactive communication on Slack, Github, and elsewhere
• Iterating our skills and culture so we can continue to thrive as a team

Requirements

• Empathy for your fellow teammates, clients, and users
• Able to work full-time Pacific Time business hours (at our Vancouver HQ, remotely in Canada, or a mix)
• Thoughtful and clear communication in various forms, whether it's spoken, written, or ️

Ideally, you would also have :

• 4+ years of native mobile app development experience
• Experience debugging interesting problems
• Some experience in technical leadership, such as leading a product or a small dev team
• Some background in either a startup environment or a client-services studio
• Enthusiasm for building very nice customer-facing software
• Some kind of bonus skill (Kotlin, Kotlin Multiplatform, React Native, Turbo, Node, Rails, knitting, etc.)

Benefits

Compensation for this role will vary depending on the experience of the successful candidate and the resulting scope and responsibility, but could start in the $125k / yr range and go up to $145k / yr for a more senior candidate with proven success across our whole scope of needs.
