YOU

Insightpool's Engineering team is working on big problems; the kind of challenges that give you bragging rights, but we're nowhere near finished. Our greatest accomplishments are still waiting for you to build them. We've got a huge vision for what's ahead, but as the team is still quite small, you'll be owning entire efforts. Not only will you be joining talented teammates, but you'll be both a trailblazer and a mentor to many engineers to come. Right now, we're looking for people that can fill the gaps in technology when they find them. Having strong beliefs in loosely coupled applications, using the right technologies for the job, and delivering scalable and robust software solutions.

Senior iOS Engineer

About Cotap

Cotap helps people work better together. We’re building mobile tools to help people communicate and collaborate at work, whether they’re knowledge workers or line workers. Mobile phones can mean more than photo-sharing or checkins. They can mean better day-to-day work and more opportunities for people who were left out in the past.

Cotap for iOS

We’re mobile first, and we’re always staying at the top of the design curve. We work directly with our design team to build delightful user experiences, responsive animations, and simple, beautiful user interfaces.

We’re keeping up with the times:

We support iOS 7 and 8.

We use CocoaPods and build our own libraries.

We’re already using Swift in production.

We don’t jump on every bandwagon, but we don’t hesitate to bring on tools that help us work better and faster.

Our next hire has

A deep knowledge and understanding of iOS/UIKit standard libraries and frameworks, including:

UICollectionView, custom animations and transitions

NSURLSession and mobile networking best practices

CoreData

Threading (GCD, NSOperationQueue)

A nearly obsessive level of care for and attention to the tools you use, and keeping them up to date and working

Strong opinions, weakly held (http://www.saffo.com/02008/07/26/strong-opinions-weakly-held...)

A passion for constantly improving both yourself and your fellow team members

A desire and ability to work across disciplines and communicate cross-functionally — everyone owns the product

What we care about

We’re driven by more than just a love of engineering. We build Cotap because it’s an opportunity to make something beautiful and usable that can make a meaningful difference in the daily lives of our users. People spend half or more of their waking hours working. We’re very lucky to be able to make those hours better.

We’re collaborative. The act of writing code may often be solitary, but the process of building a great app certainly is not. We advise, encourage, and challenge one another, and we know that every member of the team has unique knowledge and experiences that we can all learn from.

We’re adaptable and tenacious. Startups are hard. Some of the work it takes to make something great can be tedious and unglamorous. Sometimes we’ll have to adapt to changing circumstances or other things outside our control. To us, the opportunity’s worth the adversity.

We are looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineer to help us build the networking fabric for the Internet of Moving Things.

Someone with entrepreneurial spirit who is different, drives change and shares our passion for developing cutting-edge products that people and businesses love and use everyday.

Critical thinking, deliberate problem solving, disruptive mindset, and excellent communication are essential qualities, as you will be working in an exceptionally talented team with know-how across different disciplines, constant learning, boundless creativity, and outstanding execution – always in tandem with our headquarters in Silicon Valley.

If this is you, please share your CV with us at jobs@veniam.com

Target skills:

* Node.js

* MySQL

* MongoDB & Redis

* Computer Networks (!)

* AWS

* and excellent English.

Founded as a scrapbooking kit club, we have grown into a force in the specialty papercrafting and memorykeeping world by consistently innovating in both product and technology, and have now begun to leverage our expertise by partnering with other brands to power their platform and product development pipeline.

Okay, so that last paragraph read like your standard marketing copy, but here's the lowdown: we solve a lot of complex web, data, logistic, and process problems, every single day, and we're looking for a junior-level, backend-focused developer to both grow with us and help us grow as we continue to expand like crazy in the coming years.

While you might think of scrapbooking as old grandmothers sitting around gluing pictures of their grandkids into photo albums, the world has changed: those grandmothers are now rocking their iPads and pinning profusely on Pinterest, and not only that -- there are a whole lot of other people becoming interested in storing and sharing their memories in a form that they put together themselves with their own hands. We're here to help!
