You should be someone who builds clean, well-documented modular code and is comfortable in a leadership role. Do you love smooth animation, physics engines, and game theory? If so, this may be the right place for you.

For this job we need you to be local (that means the NYC area).

iOS Engineer | Requirements:

  • A love toys, games, and picture books.
  • An impressive portfolio (we’d love to see a few apps you’ve shipped).
  • A breadth of experience w/ xcode/cocos2d/unity3D/core graphics.
  • Experience architecting, developing and testing iOS apps.
  • Experience with animation, gaming, and physics engines.
  • Fluency in iOS testing.
  • Great writing and communication skills.
  • A good handle on interaction design with backend systems.
  • Awesome side projects.
  • Strong opinions on how to best set up efficient workflows.

iOS Engineer | Preferred:

  • Active contributions to open-source projects.
  • Expertise in kids and/or education apps.
  • An eye for typography and design.
  • A sense of humor + a love of storytelling.

What to expect:

  • An environment where you’ll be expected to lead a team and be self-directed.
  • A team-based approach where teams are small and given lots of autonomy.
  • An environment where all ideas are given consideration.
