iOS Lead Engineer

Job Description

We’re looking for our very first iOS Lead Engineer to join our engineering team. This is a truly unique opportunity to build our iOS application from the ground up, shaping its architecture, user experience, and overall mobile strategy. You'll be a critical voice in how we deliver an impactful mobile product that directly empowers students and their families on their journey to success.

If you're passionate about creating software that makes a real difference in people's lives, then this role is for you.

Our Engineering team enjoys collaboration, and you’ll do a mix of pairing, code review, discuss new processes or improvements to our codebase, provide feedback on product and design requirements, and your own deep work on any given day. As a lead engineer, you’ll be leading projects and providing guidance and mentorship to other engineers on the team as we grow.
