Job Description:

You GET developers! You know what they need, how to talk to them, how to make their lives easier, what makes them click, their dissatisfiers and their delighters. You recognize when a framework, library or product provides a great experience. As an iOS engineer, you will use those superpowers to build and maintain SDKs and libraries, improve our entire onboarding process, SDKs, Quickstarts, Docs, and provide direct assistance to developers in our support channels.

You will be the internal and external steward of the experience for the technologies that you love working with every day.

Each engineer shepherds one or multiple platforms forward, both internally within Auth0, and externally in the community. You will be working in a cross-functional team alongside the developer evangelist, onboarding, growth, dashboard, community, tooling, and SDK teams to provide the best developer experience for the technologies you own.

• Championing Auth0 by engaging directly with the community.
• Gathering and channel user feedback within the company to improve the experience for developers on Auth0.
• The go-to-expert in the company, internally and externally, providing domain knowledge and reviews for Auth0 in these technologies.
• Sharing your technical expertise at conferences and other tech events.
• Developing our libraries that allow users to integrate seamlessly with Auth0.
• Working on our Quickstart guides to delight our developers.
• Troubleshooting and fixing issues with our libraries.

What you’ll bring to the role:

• 5+ years of expertise in iOS development
• Experience developing iOS libraries or SDKs to be consumed by other developers
• Have a good understanding of the iOS frameworks & ecosystem
• Have created mobile applications that have seen the light of day
• Have hybrid library development experience (React Native, Flutter)
• Understanding of CI platforms such as GitHub Actions or CircleCI
• Understanding of testing mobile applications in a CI environment
• You are able to work in a team environment, have good communication skills and understand the value of collaboration
• A deep understanding of writing, running, maintaining and debugging applications.
• The ability to communicate effectively in person and in writing as a presenter, documenter.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills: presenting, documenting, troubleshooting.
• Demonstrable experience authoring developer documentation (tutorials, blog posts, docs).
• The ability to be self-directed and be effective working independently, yet feel equally comfortable contributing in a global team environment.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience with Android ( Java & Kotlin)

• Created open-source material or have contributed to open-source projects.
• Your own technical blog or published articles on popular iOS sites.
