NewsBreak is the best local source for news, videos, and information on safety, accidents, sports, business, celebrity updates, stock market trends, and more.
About the role
Our team owns NewsBreak’s first-party monetization stack end to end — from the client, through the auction server, to our in-house ad platform. It’s a small team with wide surface area, which means two things: the distance between the code you write and the revenue it drives is very short, and you’ll own your area outright rather than picking up tickets from a queue.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years of production iOS development in Swift and/or Objective-C. We care more about the depth of what you’ve owned than the exact number of years
- You’ve owned a meaningful module end to end — design, implementation, launch, and the aftermath
- Experience with ad rendering standards such as MRAID or OMID — or comparable experience rendering third-party content inside a native app
- Strong debugging instincts. You can work backward from a crash stack and sparse logs to a root cause without a reliable local repro, and you’re comfortable investigating systems you don’t have the source for
- Judgment about AI tools. You use AI coding assistants as part of your normal workflow, and you can articulate where they help you and where you override them
- Comfort with numbers. You’ve shipped behind experiments before and can reason about a metric moving without needing someone to interpret it for you
