Senior iOS Developer

Vancouver & Remote • Pacific Time   |  Updated April 12, 2021

Steamclock is looking for a bright, enthusiastic person here in Canada with experience shipping products on iOS. If you have a track record of shipping beautiful, high-quality apps, we’d love to chat!

Steamclock is a profitable and growing studio in Vancouver that makes very nice mobile software. Our focus is shipping great products, and building the company we want to work at. We make products for ourselves – like our side-project game Two Spies – and apps for interesting companies like WealthBar, Mozilla, and Arc’teryx.

We support remote work, though we’re looking for folks eligible to work in Canada who would like to work on Pacific time. When our office in Vancouver reopens, team members will have the option of working at our nice Vancouver office some days of the week, or working remotely and coming together as a team in Vancouver a couple times a year.

Like any small company, you’ll have the chance to wear many hats. In this role, though, we’re looking for somebody who can at times wear a leadership hat, and help develop our team as well as our apps. We value people over process, and your skills and perspective will help us bring that to the next level.
