The iOS Platform Engineer

• Works across multiple platforms but has extensive knowledge of iOS, C++ and Objective-C.
• Has relevant experience developing large-scale software systems on different platforms.
• Deconstructs and optimizes complex software designs. You’ll be diving deep into the heart of our systems, and you should know how to navigate around.
• Uses design and UX elements (mobile or otherwise) to create a better spatial computing experience on our platforms.
• Approaches problems with a scientific mindset while looking at the big picture, not just the issue at hand. Present to leadership analysis and recommends the best change with the biggest positive impact.
• Communicates solutions with clarity and courtesy to internal dev teams, partners, and customers.

iOS Platform Engineers are a mix of scientist and designer: they should have the know-how to work through problems, but also the finesse to create a solution that makes our software easier to use through both better implementation and better UX. You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate across product development and performance engineering, while also engaging with partners about how we make our advancements in spatial computing work best for them.

Preference will be given to candidates located in, or willing to relocate to Boulder, Colorado. Candidates in remote locations will also be considered as long as they have demonstrated the ability to effectively collaborate remotely.

Compensation will be based on experience and skill, commensurate with market rates.
