Your Team & Role

As an Apple Engineer at Doist, you'll use your software engineering skills to help our team continue delivering an amazing experience for millions of users across iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. You'll design, build, and maintain reusable and reliable code that makes productivity feel effortless.

At Doist, you're not just a developer churning out code – you're an important contributor with business aptitude, creativity, and strong interpersonal skills. You'll have the opportunity to lead and collaborate in cross-functional teams that work to solve real pain points our users face, as well as build new and exciting features that make their lives better.

Our codebase, written in Swift, is far from perfect (and that's okay!). We're looking for ways to modernize our stack and architecture to build the most reliable codebase possible. This is a great opportunity for you to make a meaningful impact on our team and the product millions depend on.

We're a great fit if you thrive in understanding and evolving legacy systems, maintaining a high delivery cadence and quality, systematically repaying technical debt, mentoring colleagues, and working with a highly resilient team. We're seeking an engineer who will raise the bar for the team and help us continue evolving our momentum, solution architecture, and overall quality.
