Job description

Staff iOS Engineer

Scribd

At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. Join our team as we create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our three products: Everand, Scribd, and Slideshare. 

We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer.

We love collaborating and investing time in our Scribd community, and we create intentional in-person moments with each other to build culture and connection. And, it is through our flexible work benefit – Scribd Flex – that we enable employees, in partnership with their manager, to choose the work-style that best suits their individual needs and preferences.

About the team

Our iOS Engineering team plays a pivotal role in enhancing the experience of our 2 million subscribers through two key iOS apps: Everand and Scribd. The Everand app is a gateway for our users to access an expansive library of over 7 million titles, including ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts, and magazine articles, offering a Netflix-like experience. Meanwhile, the Scribd app provides access to an extensive collection of over 100 million user-uploaded documents, including PDFs and other formats. 

About the role

In the role of Staff iOS Engineer, you will be instrumental in maintaining the stability and performance of these apps. Your responsibilities will include working across our entire codebase to not only push the product roadmap forward but also to enhance code quality and engineering practices. A significant part of your role will involve modernizing the technology stack and addressing technical debt, all while focusing on delivering an exceptional user experience.

You will be expected to collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features in a timely manner. You will help foster a culture of learning and growth by mentoring and guiding junior and mid-level engineers in multiple ways including code reviews and promoting modern best practices.

In an ongoing manner, you will also help investigate newer technologies as they become available and mature, to ensure that the Scribd codebase is not just approachable, maintainable, flexible and performant but also modern with an eye to feature and growth opportunities in the future (examples include SwiftUI and VisionOS).

  • Algorithmic complexity:  familiarity with and ability to apply CS concepts such as Big O notation

  • High bar on coding practices with an ongoing focus on performance, time vs space tradeoffs, and continuous improvement regarding best practices to follow and anti-patterns to avoid

  • Demonstrable ability to investigate, diagnose, debug, and solve complex and ambiguous codebase issues:  startup performance, object ownership, memory leaks, threading issues, cpu utilization, code profiling, etc

  • Proven ability to refactor large codebases, migrating codebase to newer technology stacks and addressing technical debt 

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

  • 8+ years experience shipping multiple iOS apps to the public.
