Software Engineer, iOS

We are looking for someone to join us as a member on iOS team. This means participating in all design and product decisions of the early days of a product centric company.

In the initial months, you'll be working closely with the founding team, gradually taking ownership of central components and features. Given our stage, we're seeking versatile engineers comfortable contributing to various aspects of the company's foundation.

We value team members who delve deep into their respective domains, aiming to cultivate a team of subject matter experts with a high sense of ownership. This commitment to expertise is an expectation for every team member.

As an iOS engineer, your day-to-day will include:

Feature Development

Being responsible for delivering unique, high-quality UI that features in a fast-moving environment. You’ll also be within a close knit team that holds a great scope of accountability and ownership. We like to push the technical envelope, for example, being ready for advanced usage of shaders on iOS to build crazy effects on various media.

Platform Development

Participating in the creation and improvements of the platform, in order to increase the velocity and quality of the work of the whole development team. This will include joining in writing careful abstractions that other iOS team members also use, such as Media encoding, decoding and playback; libraries that incorporate performance tracing along with associated internal tooling; our own components for dealing with Navigation and Deeplinks across apps etc.

Roadmap Creation and Ideation

You’ll also be an active contributor of the roadmap creation and ideation. You’ll be expected to help identify the right tradeoffs and bring ideas from a product and engineering perspective.

Knowledge Sharing

We love learning from each other, so we push ourselves to stay up to date with the latest trends and best practices in writing Apple Software. So we’ll be highly encouraging you to attend conferences, participate in online communities, and share your learnings internally.

Owning your scope

You will be responsible for monitoring analytics and managing system crashes. We value engineers who take ownership of their scope, and proactively address issues and triage bug fixes.

Your Skills & Experience

We are hiring multiple engineers of varying levels, so please indicate your years of experience on the application form to apply for the appropriate position.

• Professional experience in native iOS development using Swift or Objective-C.

• Good understanding of computer systems fundamentals (Memory, Cache friendliness, Linking, Multithreading, etc.).

• Professional or academic experience in low-level languages like C or C++, is a big plus.

• Experience in Graphics Programming using either OpenGL or Metal, is a plus.

• Passion and experience building consumer-facing products! We’d love to hear about apps you've made!
  
  

Life at amo

To ensure that everyone is set up for success within our way of working, we work together onsite 5 days a week.

We wanted to make sure coming to the office was as comfortable as possible for you:

• We chose a location in central Paris, near Opera (Metro lines 3,8,9 and RER A).

• We have a beautiful Parisian-style office with high ceilings, balconies, and huge windows. So a lot of natural light!

Because life outside of work should also be stress-free, we cover:

• Health care (100% coverage).

• Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, Second Parent Leave (salary maintained at 100%).

• Vacation days: 8-9 weeks (total) per year - (European summer? 🥹😎).

  • 5 weeks of paid time off (by the state);

  • 1-2 additional weeks (RTT, based on our company contract);

  • ~11 bank holidays.

    We shut down entirely twice a year, two weeks in summer and one week in winter to allow everyone to truly recharge and to avoid prolonged slowdowns (especially in the summer). These pauses are part of your total vacation time, giving everyone a real chance to unplug and recharge. No Slack, no email, no FOMO.

Relocation

We love the diverse perspectives we get from having people from all over the world join us (68% of our team is international), and so we of course support relocation to Paris with:

• Help and sponsored visa process.

• 1 month of Airbnb 100% covered by amo upon arrival.

• Assistance from a trusted relocation agency to find your permanent home.

• Help with french paperwork like opening a french social security account, tax forms, getting your carte vitale (free healthcare) and more.

• French lessons to be fully set with your new Parisian life.
