Everyone's bored of AI, the fatigue is real. So I decided to handwrite this (feels kinda strange tbh).
So here's the thing, our startup is going quick and we are getting a some massive opportunities (think of the biggest universities and colleges in the world, biggest sports teams, and word famous brands -- for legal and confidential reason we can't put names here).
We need someone who has an internal metronome, someone who is an indie-developer, loves craftsmanship. Did you see the Apple event? And admire the polish, the lengths they go-to, the magic that the hard word and repetition creates -- that final moment when you see the end user use something you made.
^ If that's you, then apply to this post.
We could really careless about the number of applicants, the less the better.
AI can write the code, but we believe the strategy, the key decisions on when to trust or ditch belongs to the engineer, a human one for now.
Key responsibilities -
Own the IOS product
Work on our roadmap - the key themes (or objectives) that we are pursuing as a company
You are responsible for the project - decision to add/drop packages, architecture,
and other code decisions.
Polish the iOS app - UI & UX, you must feel confident about this not just focus on code.
You are opening to growing, you see coding as just one part of the layer.. there's design, user-experience, then the whole world of the user's POV like value prop, pains, gains, and jobs-to-be-done.
The ideal person sees themselves as the person who brought software from idea to life that the world depends on (100 million+ users).
Here's the golden nugget that's hidden down here:
1. What was the moment you decided you decided to be an iOS developer, and why?
2. Like to an app that you launched that you feel very proud of, like if there's a dooms-day tomorrow you would say I did the best.
3. Describe an engineering challenge that really consumed you, you could not sleep
4. Why do you like the iOS ecosystem and their philosophy? explain how their SDKs and design is different than Android and others
5. Where do you see iOS apps going in the future?
