Senior iOS Engineer

At Doist, our mission is to empower people with simple yet powerful tools.

We're a multidisciplinary, fully-remote, team that’s passionate about creating products, like Todoist and Twist, that improve people’s lives. We thrive on innovating new solutions to old productivity challenges and we seek to rethink how productivity tools are made.

Our Core Values

They are few, but they are mighty. From creating processes to decision-making and recruiting, we build our four core values into nearly every single thing we do.

• Ambition. You aspire to put a dent in the universe. You set high standards for yourself and those around you. You solve issues that have a high impact on our customers and our company.
• Mastery. You care deeply about the quality of your work. You’re continuously learning and pushing yourself to the limits of your ability. As a champion of your craft, you are also a champion of your well-being – you work intensely, then disconnect completely.
• Independence. Others can trust that you’ll deliver on time. You keep your word and trust your teammates to do the same. You are proactive, take ownership, and remain accountable with little or no direction.
• Communication. Your communication is clear, concise, and engaging. You keep others in the loop and never go radio silent. You speak respectfully and foster warm relationships through your interactions. You’re culturally and socially aware and can appropriately navigate social situations.

We invite you to visit our blog to learn more about us, our values, and how we work.

Your role

As a Senior iOS Engineer, you will use your software engineering skills to help our team continue to deliver an amazing experience for Todoist on iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS for millions of users. To accomplish this, you will design, build, and maintain reusable and reliable code.

At Doist you are not just a developer churning out code, but an important contributor with business aptitude, creativity and strong interpersonal skills. You'll have the opportunity to lead and collaborate in cross-functional teams that work to solve pain points our users face, as well as build new and exciting features.

Our codebase, written in Swift, is far from perfect. We are looking for ways to modernize our stack and architecture to build the most reliable codebase possible. (This is a good opportunity for you to have an impact on our team.)

We're a great fit if you thrive in understanding and evolving legacy systems, maintaining a high delivery cadence and quality, systematically repaying technical debt, mentoring colleagues, and working with a highly resilient team. We are seeking an engineer who will raise the bar for the team and help us continue evolving our momentum, solution architecture, and overall quality.

• You have a robust understanding of the UIKit framework. Bonus points if you have worked with SwiftUI in production.
