iOS Developer
iOS
team
Montreal, Qc
Full time
There’s a reason you carry an iPhone in your pocket. It’s something about the iPhone look... the iPhone feel… the way your Apple Watch starts sending you heart rate alerts when your Xcode successfully compiles. Regardless of whether you see the liquid glass as half full, or half empty, we’re looking for someone who deeply cares about their craft to help us build the best app for urban commuting to have ever graced the App Store.
As Transit’s newest iOS developer, you’ll be the swift-handed hero of millions of folks across 1000+ cities who depend on buses and trains to get around. We’re looking for someone insatiably curious who can help us test and perfect every aspect of the car-free commute. From underground subway tracking, to multimodal trip planning, to gamification, to monetization, to having opinions on third-party SDKs that seem to be suffering from main character syndrome.
Transit is written in Swift and Objective-C, and the business logic is implemented in a C++ shared library – our iOS and Android teams work in tandem on that part of the codebase, keeping the need for duplicative code at bay. We moreover use UIKit and SwiftUI on iOS to build a UI that’s familiar, native, and as smooth as Jony Ive’s forehead.
Coming hot off the heels of our 6.0 redesign, we’ve got big plans for the future, and the scale of those ambitions won’t fit neatly in a blue iMessage bubble — but if you’re an iOS vet who is ready to come to Montreal, practice your Franglais, and rack up GO points on the Orange Line, we’d love to hear from you. Here’s a bit more on what we’re looking for:
📝 Responsibilities
Collaborate with S-tier teammates to dream up Transit’s next big feature
Take pride in developing those features, refine existing ones, and maintain the iOS app to keep it in perpetual five-star shape (or as close to 5.0 as we can reasonably muster 💅✨)
Help us manage refactors and refine our architecture to make it easier to maintain the app and integrate new features
Conspire with our design team priests to bring their vision (and yours) to pixel-plated perfection.
✅ Requirements
You're a self starter, adaptable, and detail-oriented
Good knowledge of Swift or Objective-C, plus SwiftUI or UIKit
Familiarity with Git and GitHub
You can work in French
💯 Would be nice if
Experience with C++
Y’all can speak the English good in a spoken and writtenly manner. (The vast majority of Transit’s users and partner transit agencies operate primarily in English)
You are the maestro behind at least one superb (and ideally, published) iOS app
Passionate about cities, urbanism, public transit, design, technology, and/or custom Slack emoji reacts
You’re comfortable integrating AI tools into your workflow. We won’t expect you to be orchestrating swarms of subagents alongside your army of Mac Minis and black market GPUs, but we expect you to be keeping up-to-date with the latest models and tools
Don’t feel like all the requirements apply to you but you still think you’d be a great fit for Transit? Don’t hesitate to apply!
💰 Compensation and benefits
$80,000 - $130,000 CAD per year, based on experience
Stock options
RRSP/FHSA contributions
Comprehensive medical and dental coverage
5 weeks vacation
Four-day work week at full-time salary (yes, you read that right)
Apple laptop and equipment
$1,600 annual mobility allowance. STM? BIXI? Uber? E-bike? Scooter? Going car-free is free at Transit.
A training and development budget
Generous maternal/paternal/parental leave policy. Gotta fill out our tandem bicycles somehow!
Flexible work hours
Spend your days surrounded by first-rate teammates and the best view of Montreal and/or [insert exotic Zoom background]
When you’re in the office: you’ll be in urbanist heaven, surrounded by Mile End’s urban gardens, bike paths, BIXI docks, bus stops, a metro station, and limitless restaurants… cafés… bars… concert halls… bagel boutiques…
Communal lunch-and-learn with free food in the office each week
👨💻 A note on diversity
Public transit is used by overwhelmingly more women and people of colour than other modes of transportation. We try to make sure the diversity of our users is reflected in the team that serves them. Because when we include people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, ages, and identities — we end up building a better app for everyone who uses Transit.
We encourage candidates of all ages, genders, origins and orientations to apply. If you’d like to specify which pronouns you use, feel free to include that in your application email.
And if your lived experience has given you a unique perspective on all things transportation, mobility, accessibility, urbanism? Let us know, and we’ll make sure your application gets the attention it merits.
📬 How to apply
We'd love to hear from you. Send your resume, GitHub account and other relevant info to [email protected] with “Liquid Glassterpiece ⚗️” in the subject line.
PS: When you apply, let us know how you heard about the position! Whispers, grapevines, middle-of-the-night Google searches? We’re dying to know.
PPS: Unfortunately, we don't accept in-person applications or singing telegrams. Make your application sing instead!
