About The Position

We are looking for a Staff iOS Engineer to join our Developer Experience (DevEx) organization. You will shape the vision and execution of the tools, frameworks, architecture, and mobile infrastructure that empower mobile product teams to ship high-quality features faster and more reliably. If you’re passionate about eliminating friction from the development lifecycle, designing elegant platform architectures, and elevating the technical bar of the engineering org, we’d love to meet you. The US based salary range for this position is $167,000 to $245,000. The Canada-based salary range for this position is 194,000 to 227,000 CAD. Note: Please be aware that the job title for positions in Canada will be "Developer" in lieu of "Engineer." We take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary- therefore, base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The compensation package includes a wide range of medical, dental, vision, financial, and other benefits, as well as equity.
