Sr. Software Engineer, iOS
We believe that phone calls should be secure, engaging, void of fraud and robocalls. We believe the phone app is the most outdated app on your smartphone, that the phone network is the largest social network in the world and it lacks a trust and engagement layer. You should know who's calling you and why! You should get the calls that are relevant to you (at that time) and none of the ones that aren't. Hiya is building the modern layer for the phone call experience. We already serve nearly 100M users worldwide directly through our apps and in partnership with mobile device makers like Samsung and mobile carriers like AT&T. Are you ready to help us get the next 900M users?
We are hiring a Sr. Software Engineer to lead the efforts on the latest product initiatives for Hiya direct-to-consumer iOS apps that provide context for users to decide if they should answer a phone call or not. As an engineer on the apps team, you will work with a modern iOS stack leveraging the latest versions of Swift and SDK frameworks. You will work in an agile and highly collaborative environment with other great engineers, designers, and product managers in order to bring quality products to the millions of Hiya users around the world.

- Participate in R&D efforts of new features and take MVP solutions through the validation phase to production by working with the product team.
- Plan, design, and implement instrumentation to gauge user behaviors and real-time issues.

- You have a BS or MS in Computer Science or related fields (Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering).
- You have been a software engineer working on native iOS apps for a number of years and you shipped V1s and beyond.
- You are proficient in Swift, Objective-C, Cocoa Touch and core iOS SDK frameworks.
