Learning

Our team thrives on a culture of continuous improvement. We embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, encouraging them to explore emerging trends, adopt new technologies, and expand our skills.

About The Role

We're looking for an experienced iOS engineer to join our small, remote team. In this role, you'll be collaborating with our other developers and designers to ship and maintain beautiful native mobile apps for our clients.

You can also expect to:

  • Define architecture for projects and features
  • Effectively communicate architecture, design patterns, and new concepts via whiteboarding, screen sharing, and pair programming
  • Understand broader collections of tasks, document dependent work, and prioritize tasks
  • Choose and communicate resolutions for impediments to clients
  • Mentor other engineers
  • Compare, recommend, vet, and teach others to use 3rd party tools
  • Play a key role in project estimation phase
  • Define style guide and best practices
  • Design, maintain, and lead discussion around engineering interview processes
  • Write advanced unit tests and contribute to testing standards
  • Be able to provide insight into performance bottlenecks and isolate / work around problem-areas in system and 3rd party APIs

Qualifications

  • You have experience developing products with Swift & SwiftUI
  • You have strong communication and collaborative skills
  • You are authorized to work in the US, and are able to work comfortably with team members located in the Eastern Time Zone
  • Bonus: Experience with TCA (The Composable Architecture) or related programming paradigms.

Our interview process

  • Initial call: After reviewing your application, we'll schedule a 45-minute video call to introduce ourselves and give you a chance to ask us any questions you have about the company or the hiring process. We'll also ask you a set of technical questions to help us get a basic understanding of your skill level.
  • Code exercise: After the initial call, we'll send you a coding challenge to complete on your own time within two weeks, so you can show us your best Swift + SwiftUI work.
  • Final interview loop: After we've reviewed your code exercise, we'll have a final round of interviews, which includes three parts:
    • Code Exercise Review — where we'll ask you questions about the coding challenge and go over your programming knowledge.
    • Problem Solving — where we'll task you with solving a particular coding problem to assess practical knowledge.
    • Cultural Interview — where we'll get to know you a little better and talk about your background, past work experience, and hobbies.
We know that interviews can be stressful, so we’ll do our best to create a friendly, supportive environment that feels closer to what it’s like to actually work here — you are always encouraged to ask us questions, check documentation, and look up answers to questions as needed.

We support each other. Our team is focused on helping each other learn and grow. What does this mean in practice? Weekly 1:1 meetings with your manager, semi-regular group learning sessions, and an environment that encourages asking questions.

Inclusivity is important to us. Our team, like much of the tech industry, is lacking diversity—we want to do better. We’re always working on making Lickability a friendly and welcoming place to work for everyone. That could be you!
