Segment.io - San Francisco, CA

Mobile Engineer

We're looking for an extremely good mobile engineer to help us change the way people approach mobile analytics. This is a perfect position for someone who loves building clean APIs for others to use. You enjoy not only building mobile apps, but writing the libraries that power those apps. You're fluent in everything to do with iOS as a platform, and if you have Android chops that's a huge bonus, but definitely not a requirement.

You'd be working on current and new features of the mobile SDKs themselves, as well as helping to write code for where they touch our Node.js backend, where we process tens of millions of events per day. And you'd be in charge of our entire mobile offering, which is used in product by lots of big companies like Live Nation, Nest Labs and The Knot.

You'd be joining a team of very talented engineers that are in love with open-source. Both of those SDKs are open-source, as is tons of our codebase[1]. So if you enjoy working with smart people and getting to make a name for yourself releasing the things you work on to other developers, you've found the right place.

Not only that, but you'd be working on a few of our still-secret mobile projects that we're pretty confident are going to change the way people integrate third party code into every mobile app they write afterwards.

    1. a description of an app you've worked on (code is a bonus)
    2. a description of a mobile library you've built (code is a bonus)
    3. a link to your GitHub if you have one
    4. the most interesting mobile SDK you've worked with and why

Let me know if you have any questions about that or anything else :-)

Mother of god I'm an Android/iOS/BB developer and I make 45k a year with 0 benefits whatsoever. I put in my two weeks notice two weeks ago! I would cry if I was paid this much.

The average salary for developers is roughly in 80-100k. As a recent grad, almost all of my peers were in the 60-125k range. The only salary I've seen that was grossly under the average was 48k- but that was expected.. the employer was TXDOT.

Edit: Please assess your contributions and value yourself at market value. Having a conversation with your manager about your market value should yield a higher salary that is competitive. If not, move along. As a mobile developer, you could be contracting for much more than 45k.

Surprised you would only make that little - I started as a frontend developer at a non-profit for $51k, which is also under the market (and a non-profit to boot).

Depending on where you live, you could easily fetch $20k more, if not even more than that.
