Hi, I'm Ahmed, Engineering Manager at Customer.io. I'm seeking a seasoned software engineer with extensive native iOS expertise to join our growing Engineering team. You will play a pivotal role in guiding our team, mentoring junior engineers, and upholding our high performance and quality standards, as well as solid engineering practices. The ideal candidate will have a strong track record of delivering high-quality iOS applications, demonstrated leadership skills, and a willingness to collaborate across other platforms such as Android, Flutter, and React Native.

  • Develop and lead the development of our mobile SDKs.

  • Engage in architectural design discussions and problem-solving.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and innovation.
  • Maintain and improve code quality through writing unit, integration, and E2E tests.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and partners to define, design, and ship new features.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in native iOS development.
  • Proficiency in Swift, Objective-C, and Apple ecosystem.
  • Strong understanding of iOS architecture, design patterns, and best practices.
  • Familiar with managing and publishing dependencies with iOS dependency management tools like SPM and Cocoapods.
  • Experience in leading projects and mentoring junior engineers.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a product-minded approach.
  • Available between 2PM and 5PM GMT for common communication with the team.

Good to Have

Our mission at Customer.io is to power automated communication that people like to receive. Today over 7,500 internet businesses use Customer.io to manage, send, and track the performance of emails, SMS, push notifications, and in-app messages. Unlike typical marketing platforms, Customer.io helps businesses increase relevance by using behavioral data: what people do or don’t do when logged in to a web or mobile app.

We are offering a starting salary of $160,000 - $184,000 USD (or equivalent in local currency) depending on experience and subject to market rate adjustment.

  • Unlimited PTO - we encourage at least 20 vacation days (in addition to holidays and sick days) so that you can unwind, unplug, and recharge.
  • 16 weeks paid parental leave (including adoption and foster care).
  • 100% paid insurance premiums for you and your dependents.
  • 401k retirement matching - up to 5% dollar-for-dollar match to retirement contributions.
  • $1,500 annual healthy lifestyle budget (for gym memberships, classes, fitness equipment).
  • $250/monthly Remote Work Stipend to be used for home internet, cell phone, and other miscellaneous remote work costs.
  • $2,000/yearly professional education budget for conferences, courses, workshops, books, etc.
  • $1,500 home office budget to make sure your working space is ergonomic and just what you need to do your best work!
  • We also have opportunities to meet in person with your peers throughout the year.

All final candidates will be asked to complete a background check and employment verifications as part of our pre-employment process.

Customer.io recognizes the stifling impact of systemic injustice on diverse communities. We commit to using our influence to increase inclusion and equity within the tech industry.
