iOS Engineer

• Reflexively ask yourself, "is this code the best way to make my users happy?"
• Push through hard problems without giving up.
• Enjoy helping other engineers on your team to improve their frontend skills.
• Are not afraid to take on complicated systems.
• Are excited to learn to do some amount of backend work or even branch out to doing Android work - we love folks who are keen to broaden their skill sets!
• Work to make things easier for the next engineer who will touch your code.
• Always try to improve as a programmer and colleague.

You'll join an autonomous, cross-functional team focused on a single area of Wave's product. Each team is led by a product manager and mentored by a technical lead on the team.

You'll be responsible for your own frontend-focused projects as well as supporting the other engineers on your team with the frontend parts of their projects. We organize things to give you as much ownership as possible so typically you'll be in charge of your projects from planning through to release.

Our stack (you only need prior experience with your frontend stack, if you need to work with anything else we'll train you):

• backend: Python 3 (+ pyright)
• API layer: GraphQL
• Android frontend: Kotlin/Jetpack
• iOS frontend: Swift/SwiftUI
• web frontend: TypeScript/React
• database: Postgres
• infrastructure: GCP / Terraform
• orchestration: Kubernetes

• Minimum of 5 years of professional experience with a minimum of 2 years of it spent building iOS applications.
• Experience using Swift and SwiftUI.
• Native or fluent English.

• We run performance reviews twice a year and award bonuses or promotions to strong performers who have been with the company for more than six months.
• Our salaries are competitive and are calculated using a transparent formula. For this role, depending on your level and location, we offer a salary of up to $152,100 USD, plus a generous equity package.
• Major benefits:

• Subsidized health insurance for you and your dependents and retirement contributions (both vary from country to country).
• 6 months of fully paid parental leave and subsidized fertility assistance.
• Flexible vacation, with most folks taking between 21-30 days exclusive of statutory holidays.
• $10,000 annual charitable donation matching.

Wave is now the largest financial institution in Senegal, with over 7 million users. And, we're still in the early days of our product roadmap and potential impact on people's everyday lives. We're looking for an experienced iOS engineer who's independent, excited about getting things done and ready to hit the ground running. You'll be responsible for building and improving the ways people pay with Wave. You'll use your iOS expertise to create user-friendly and maintainable applications and to help the rest of your team do the same. Our to-do list changes constantly, but here are some recent projects: * Enabling people to use their Wave app to pay for products in stores all over Senegal. * Allowing our users to cheaply send money to Wave users in other countries. * Building a way for people to easily move money between their bank account and their Wave account. * This is a fully remote role. Candidates must be based in one of our talent hub countries (UK, Spain, USA, Canada, Kenya and Ghana) or in one of our operating markets in Africa including Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, or Burkina Faso. * Wave provides a yearly $1,200 stipend to support coworking meetups with teammates.
