iOS Engineer

We're looking for iOS Engineers who will play a critical role in balancing team health, quality and delivery of projects and client relationships with the care and craft that Obvious is known for.

Full-time · Working Remotely

We are looking for applicants from under-represented, diverse backgrounds! We believe that the strongest solutions (from technology and design perspectives) are created when a diversity of voices, opinions and perspectives are brought to bear on problems that our clients hire us to solve.

It’s a new morning. You grab a leisurely breakfast and coffee before sitting down to work and getting your tools in order. Your Slack workspace pings: “Ready for our daily stand-up?.” After catching up with your team, a multi-strength set of engineers who love what they do (just like you!), it’s down to business.

You start work for the first client, on a fintech app downloaded over 10 million times. You lead the agile team by helping them identify solutions to business needs. You enable innovative and efficient solutions for the client while also balancing on-time and on-budget execution across the board. You also work with the design team to bring critical features to production, leveraging rigorous logic and methods to solve difficult problems.

With every step, you see your work evolve and you grow into your strengths as a Lead iOS engineer at one of the leading product consultancies in India. You understand that complex technology, when simplified and made ubiquitously accessible, finds its own ways to change the world.

This is a glimpse of what it’s like to work as a mobile engineer at Obvious.

At Obvious, product engineers are not just software engineers. We understand that great software is only a small part of value-creation. We work with our designers, often in the same room to rapidly iterate and validate our assumptions. Our Engineering playbook details all our lore and practices.

We believe in the DevOps movement, and imbibe the principles in all our work, even Mobile engineering! We review code with care and guidance, not as an afterthought, but every day as part of our workflow. We regularly share our work and learnings and engage with the community.

As we work remotely, we give time-off when needed, normalise taking small breaks during the day or being available only 70% on some days. We have also carefully constructed hardware and computing equipment guidelines, including a one time WFH fund to help put together a stronger infrastructure at home.

We are remote-first, and will be till further notice. In case of any changes, we will ensure a 6 month heads-up.

*Please note: This role requires significant face time with the team and clients. To avoid situations of chronic stretch for the Lead and the rest of the team, we prefer the role to be based out of India or within IST timezone.
