Role
Who you are
- 10+ years experience as an iOS engineer, with a significant portion of that experience at a senior level in fast-paced, consumer-focused companies (social is a bonus)
- Proven track record of successfully delivering and scaling iOS applications with a large user base
- Strong proficiency in Swift, SwiftUI and deep understanding of iOS frameworks and APIs
- Experience with architecting and implementing complex mobile app architectures, including data modeling, networking, caching, and synchronization

Our take
For years, much of our social media usage has been about curating and sharing images with "followers", many of whom may be strangers. BeReal's founders set out to disrupt this status quo by creating an app that focuses on meaningful interaction and spontaneity.
BeReal is one of a wave of social apps, including Poparazzi and NewNew, seeking to turn social media into a more natural and collaborative space. Every day, BeReal assigns its users a two-minute time-slot to upload a picture, encouraging them to display a more spontaneous snapshot of their day. Friends can respond to the image with comments or photos, but the app has done away with other classic social app features such as filters, follower counts and "likes".
Although competitors were quick to attempt to mimic BeReal's experience, its several million strong user base suggests that consumers are more interested in the original. The company has raised significant funds to further operations and development, and for now seems set on a promising road to further popularity and success.
