iOS Engineer

Zello is a voice-first communication platform, powered by our industry-leading push-to-talk technology, to improve collaboration and productivity for desk-less workers. With over 175+ million users, we’re the #1 rated push-to-talk app in the world, delivering 8 billion (yes, with a B) messages a month. 

At Zello, our company values are at the heart of what we do everyday. We’re proud to serve the frontline, we’re privileged to connect people in times of crisis across the globe, and we’re honored to support first responders.

And this is where you come in.

We are seeking a motivated, highly capable engineer to join our iOS development team. You are a self-starter, excited to create meaningful impact through applications that support thousands of customers and millions of consumers every day.

You'll own projects from start to finish, working closely with our product and design team, applying scalable development patterns, maintainable code practices, and sharp technical decisions that inform and direct the architecture of the future.

We offer a high freedom/high responsibility work environment, competitive salary, and generous stock options.

While we're eager to talk to anyone who shares our passion for connecting frontline workers, this isn't an entry level position. We're looking for at least a couple years experience in a professional setting.

• Accelerate the velocity of the team by having delivered numerous small to medium-sized projects, developed primarily on your own

• Understand the design and implementation of our iOS app sufficiently well to explain the key concepts to others

• Have improved code quality by implementing tests with your delivered projects 

• Design, develop, test and deliver new features for the flagship Zello iOS app

• Improve and enhance existing code using modern patterns and practices

• Review and respond to app crashes, field issues, and customer feedback

• Ramp quickly on new and existing technologies, apply them to complex problems, and share your learnings with the team

• Strong working knowledge of Objective C (+ iOS SDK), Swift, UIKit and great to have some SwiftUI. C++ experience is a plus.

• 4+ years of software development experience for iOS

• Ideally published apps in the App Store - include links in your resume or cover letter

• Clear understanding of OOP, concurrency, synchronization, memory management and all the little things that make development complicated and interesting

• Good knowledge of the design patterns, guidelines and best practices

• Good understanding of how networks work (TCP, UDP, sockets, HTTP, TLS etc) -- eg, how long does it take to send a 10 kB email over 1 Gbps Google Fiber link and why

We hire for potential, passion for our mission, and a knack for solving difficult problems over checking every qualification box. We have competitive pay, equity with significant upside, and intentionally design our benefits to encourage healthy and well-balanced employees, from flexible work schedules to unlimited paid time off. We even offer a sabbatical after every five years of service so you’re able to pursue and enjoy what matters most to you. And of course, we wouldn’t be a technology company in Austin without a ping-pong table and free snacks in our break room. Join us!
