Role
Who you are
- You are experienced. You are a seasoned iOS engineer with 4+ years of experience and have a strong command of Swift, UIKit, and some familiarity with Objective-C. You have a deep understanding of the iOS ecosystem ranging from build tools to building UI and a proven track record of building and shipping user-facing features at scale
- You are user-focused. You have an eye for design, strive for pixel perfection, and think through the edge cases. You like thinking about user psychology and always put the user first
- You act like an owner. You are proactive, resourceful, and enjoy highly autonomous environments. You enjoy owning user problems and working cross-functionally to convert product visions into technical solutions, strategies, and roadmaps. You work independently and understand how to efficiently prioritize and utilize your team to meet company goals
- You’re a strong communicator. You’re a strong written and verbal communicator; you can capture the essence of complex situations quickly and communicate them to technical and non-technical partners
- You’re scrappy and entrepreneurial. You like to build and ship and have a bias towards getting things done. You thrive in fast paced environments and view ambiguity as an opportunity to lead Clubhouse closer to its mission
- You take pride in your work. You are committed to your craft and write high-quality code while shipping the best possible user experience. You obsess over the details and are excited about creating products that leave a lasting impression
- You are a team player.You have a low-ego, put the team’s success first, and believe that fostering a collaborative and diverse environment is not only integral to the team's well-being but also crucial for driving innovation and achieving long-term success
What the job involves
- As a member of our engineering team, you’ll work closely with our founders, product, design, and data teams to solve a dynamic set of user problems and build robust, user-facing features to increase friendship in the world
- You’ll build and ship. You’ll build new products and features to meet critical product and business needs in a scalable and performant way. You’ll write clean, well-tested, and efficient code, build observability and monitoring, improve our infrastructure and tooling and have the benefit of working with others who share your enthusiasm
- You’ll help shape product strategy. You will get to use your own product (and talk with others while they are using it) every day, and have significant input into its development. Your ideas will always be heard
- You’ll work collaboratively. You’ll work closely with a talented group of engineers, product managers, designers, and data scientists to understand user problems and co-create product solutions. You’ll also work closely with leadership to convert technical and product visions into tangible roadmaps
- You’ll grow, teach, and improve rapidly. At Clubhouse you’ll be working with an incredible team, who love to learn from and teach each other. You’ll find yourself stretching to new areas, immersed in feedback, and growing your skills on a daily basis
- You’ll create something meaningful. Social products allow people to connect in ways that were never before possible. When the telephone was invented, it suddenly allowed people to speak with others across the world. Thanks to FaceTime, grandparents everywhere can now watch their grandchildren grow up. At Clubhouse, you’ll be figuring out something entirely new for the world—a positive product that brings people’s voices together to help everyone have a life filled with great friendships
Our take
Clubhouse is an invite-only audio chat social platform, catering to users who are turning away from mainstream social platforms. It makes talking, chatting, storytelling, and developing personal relationships more simple and effortless across the globe. With this approach, it is reducing the friction for human socialising in an increasingly digital world.
One big challenge for the company will be competing with larger platforms as they launch similar “social audio” features. This could make a real dent in Clubhouse’s market share, and it will also need to account for restrictions on its platform from countries such as China and the UAE.
That said, Clubhouse should at least be able to cash in on jumping on the social audio concept first. And, if it continues to roll out new features and focus on more intimate social connections, it will have a chance to carve itself a nice niche in the social media sector.
