• strong knowledge of Objective-C, Cocoa, CoreAnimation, CoreGraphics
• knowledge of iOS SDK/Cocoa Touch/UIKit (optional)
• familiarity with scalable/cloud-based backend architectures (optional)
• experience working with UX and UI designers in an agile design process
• comfortable working in a non-corporate startup environment
• highest quality awareness (even for German engineering standards)
• own applications in the iTunes app store (optional)
• CS degree or informatics diploma (optional)
• physically based in Berlin (or willing to commute regularly)

If this job description piques your interest, please send us a note. We look forward to hearing from you! Principals only — no recruiters.

Application format and process

Through your application we hope to find answers to these types of questions: Which skills do you offer? What is your commitment to design and/or software? What are your goals? Who else can validate your story? Once we get started in the interview process, we talk to your references, and have enough substantial conversations with you to learn who you are and help you get to know us.
