## 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
