What You’ll Do

We’re looking for a hardcore mobile engineer to join our mobile team on the mission to build our cutting edge native mobile clients. This is the piece of software that students all over the world use in class to interact with the Top Hat platform. We are looking for someone who is extremely technical, but also understands the nuances of a beautiful mobile experience.

  • Come work here because we’re making a dent in the universe

  • Come work here because we have a brilliant team

  • Come work here because we care about software craftsmanship

  • Come work here because we don’t take ourselves too seriously

  • Come work here because we care about and iterate on our development process

Your work will touch hundreds of thousands of paying customers (500,000 and growing every day). We’re already profitable and are growing like crazy! Lucky for you, we’re small but mighty. That means you get to touch everything mobile and sometimes even help out on front-end, back-end, database code—whatever your little hacker heart desires! And what’s more? Everything you touch will be yours. Well, kind of. We follow the “Facebook approach,” meaning we give developers complete ownership of features.

About You

There are three key things that we look for:

  • You need to be very smart and able to learn quickly.

  • You need to have at least a few years of mobile development experience (through work or personal projects).

  • You need to be able to architect robust, maintainable systems, not just hack together code for one-off projects.

You will be working closely with our design and backend teams to help bring beautiful, usable, and fast mobile designs to life.

The server side is written in Python on Django, with a MySQL database. In addition we use Node.js and SockJS for our real time components and recently created a shiny new REST API. Our systems all run on Amazon Web Services.

You should be comfortable with most of the following:

  • Current knowledge with either Android or iOS programming (or both!)

  • Mobile network programming (client-server)

  • REST APIs

  • Git

  • Automated unit and integration testing

We think the best sign of a good developer is interesting projects they’ve done. Tell us your about the cool stuff you’ve built!
