Principal Software Engineer iOS

Who we are

Our mission is to help the world improve their health and happiness, starting with their feet. We’re revolutionizing shoes by making our elegant designs custom fit for a person’s feet. This all starts with the Up8 app that scans your feet and lets you shop. We work really hard to get everything right so our customers don’t have to. That means we dive deep into technology, design, manufacturing, and our customer’s experience.

Who we want

Our people are mission-hungry and like to stretch themselves to learn and create. They’re smart, whether it's through natural capability or grit, and dive into interesting problems. They thrive by focusing on the customer.

What we’re thinking for this role

We're looking for someone who comes alive in early-stage chaos and loves writing and shipping code. You solve tricky problems and rally others with your output. You stretch yourself and help those around you do the same.

• Lead by example, shipping production code, prototyping, and mentoring teammates
• Build and maintain a high-quality iOS application from MVP and in production
• Collaborate closely with founders, designers, and engineers to bring concepts to life
• Emphasize performance, security, and polished user experience in everything you build
• Contribute to process, and architecture decisions
• Work cross-functionally to integrate cutting-edge eCommerce, AR, and AI features into our app

At a minimum

• Referenceable iOS applications that have shipped to customers
• Fluency in Swift and deep familiarity with the Apple development ecosystem (Xcode, UIKit/SwiftUI)
• Writing and shipping code is your favorite. You. Write. Code. Well.

If you want to blow us away

• Experience with ARKit, CoreML, or computer vision frameworks
• Knowledge of machine learning pipelines, and cloud based backend services
• Experience building eCommerce experiences that wow and convert customers
• Experience mentoring or leading small engineering teams

Not required, but a typical education

• Undergraduate degree in Computer Science.
• Graduate degree in Computer Science.

Important!

Job descriptions conform to norms and show bias. Maybe you don’t have these qualifications but you’d still be a good fit. We like people who rise to challenges instead of waiting to check all the boxes.
