Senior iOS Developer - remote

Posted 3 years ago

Location: Guadalajara, MX working remotely for the Envato Product: Twenty20 in LA.

Twenty20 is bringing stock photography into the modern, mobile age. Our global community of over 250,000 creative mobile photographers have contributed over 45 million photos for sale, making us the largest crowdsourced commercial image catalog in the world. We sell those images to companies like Google, Uber, Thought Catalog, and other leading brands/startups/agencies who are looking for a more authentic alternative to traditional stock imagery.

We are a small, autonomous, 7-person team based in Los Angeles, Marina del Rey working as part of the larger Envato family.

At Twenty20, we're working hard to build a marketplace that connects amateur and professional photographers to brands and agencies that want to buy photos of real people, having real emotions, doing real things. We have tons of massive challenges in engineering and product over both a short timeline as well as over a longer time horizon. We work with massive amounts of unstructured data, and we’re constantly learning and building new ways to help our customers tell their stories with images from our photographer community.

Purpose.

You'll be working on an app used by hundreds of thousands of photographers to participate in our social marketplace of authentic content. You will be part of the team that helps photographers make a living doing the things they love. There’s a little bit of everything to play with, social interactions, commercial interactions, gamification, and machine learning. You won’t be bored.

What you’ll be doing

On a day to day basis you will:

  • Write clean, well thought out and reliable code
  • Participate as a member of a small cross functional team containing members with different skills and experience
  • You'll work on big projects, small maintenance tasks, and anything else that makes software our customers love
  • Take lots of responsibility for your work as most teams don't have analysts, testers or system administrators
  • Take part in our 24/7 on-call rotation supporting one of the biggest websites in the world
