The app for independent voices. Backed by General Catalyst, Y Combinator and a16z.
About the role
We’re a small team of generalists, so we especially value an interest in working across our tech stack, willingness to prototype, and product-mindedness. You’d be the iOS leader on this team, so code review, mentorship and thoughtful technical architecting will also be key pieces of this role. Collaborate with designers, writers, support staff, and many others. From product concept and research to implementation, experimentation, and measurement, we expect you to own your work and deliver high-quality solutions.
What they're looking for
- At least 3+ years of software engineering experience
- Experience shipping high quality, native iOS apps to the App Store. Bonus for both SwiftUI and UIKit
- Independent and autonomous. We’re too small to micromanage, and expect that every person at the company owns their work and can be a leader
- Hold yourself and others to a high standard when working on production systems
- Take pride in building elegant and delightful product experiences. Substack works best when it gets out of the way so creators can focus on writing and connecting with their readers
- Enjoy collaboration with a diverse group of thinkers while bringing our own unique experience and background to the team

About the Sponsorships Team

Brands are interested in connecting with Substack creators, and Substack creators are interested in making more money, but we want to support this behavior in a way that doesn’t degrade the user experience or undermine trust in the platform.
Everyone contributes to the product direction. Our team regularly brainstorms directly with leadership, and every engineer contributes ideas for new products and experiences. We also sometimes work directly with our Sponsorship...
