Universe is the world's first website builder designed for mobile phones. Our mission is to empower everyone to build the internet, starting with serious websites built in under a minute.
Our app empowers everyone to express themselves through a website, reach their audience, or build a business. We are looking for someone passionate about helping people become creators in an app that it as beautiful as it is performant.
We're looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to help accelerate our mission. As a Senior iOS Engineer your primary focus will be writing excellent code.
Your duties include:
- Mentor your fellow engineers.
- Maintain code quality through code reviews.
- Work collaboratively with other senior engineers to help refine our app's architecture.
- Build out reusable systems so the whole team can iterate faster.
Your impact will be:
- You will expand our codebase to scale across iPhone, iPad, and even Macs
- Contribute code to expand the editor. Add new block types, enable more complex layouts, and extend customizations for each block.
- Build new ways to buy a domain, setup site metadata, or add pages to your site that lower the barrier to owning a website.
- Create new audience tools to help creators analyze and connect with their site's viewers.
- Expanding our test coverage with new tests, refactoring existing code to be testable, and improving the reliability of Universe.
Universe is built native, taking advantage of the many frameworks Apple gives us. It is built entirely with Swift. Our app talks to CloudKit as well as our own APIs (some written in Swift too 😉). We use programatic autolayout for the majority of our UI. We do believe in Tests, but we don't have enough yet.
