Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of iOS experience
- Familiarity with Swift
- Ownership – you are excited about developing and advocating for the best features and roadmaps for our rapidly growing mobile products. You have a vision for the systems you work on, but know how to build incremental milestones, and when to make trade-offs between completeness and utility to get to value fast
- You’re a subject matter expert - you’re excited about being the go-to person for all things iOS and mobile development
- You love code — you’re a pro at building roadmaps and design docs, but you don’t like stopping there. You’re incredibly proud of the code you write and review, and like staying close to the systems you own
- Putting your stamp on the team — shaping the culture and growing the team through recruiting leadership and senior engineers, and working closely with engineering managers to develop the operations and processes that allow the team to execute at the highest level
- Building products that make developer’s lives easier — you’re excited to make our systems easy to use and safe for internal developers, as well as the impact your work will have on Stytch’s customers
- You like simplifying abstract and complex systems, like authentication
What the job involves
- Technical — make Stytch even easier to integrate with by abstracting away authentication complexities
- Ownership — partner with your manager to build the roadmap for the team, partner with product to prioritize the most critical work and projects, and then ship it to production
- Leadership — level up the team and the industry by growing the next generation of mobile & Front End SDK engineers at Stytch
- Our Tech Stack:
- Swift for the iOS SDK (where you’ll be working)
- Go for backend services
- Node and Typescript for web services
- AWS with Kubernetes for containerization
Our take
Passwords don’t typically offer the levels of security they once did, and we need more of them than ever - leading to poor security practices and a huge volume of subsequent data breaches. Some startups have emerged to help manage them; Stytch, however, is part of a growing cohort looking to cut them out entirely.
The idea is to make navigating digital space frictionless. To this end, Stytch has developed an out-of-the-box, easy-to-deploy version of about a dozen passwordless authentication solutions. It has seen a sharper increase in users and funding than rival startups like Magic, which it puts down to an API-first product, which is less limiting in its application than the widgets we’ve seen developed by earlier entrants to the space.
That alone, however, won’t be enough to push it ahead of other highly successful innovators in the space. Transmit Security has received record-breaking backing for its biometrics-led approach. This goes to show how far the market is betting on a passwordless future, and Stytch's acquisition by customer engagement platform Twilio exemplifies this trend.
