We are looking for Frontend Engineers with a focus on macOS and iOS development in Objective-C to continue to develop and support the Quip apps, ensuring Quip customer satisfaction through thoughtful strategic long-term investment balanced with maintenance cost reduction. We build our app using reliable tools that our team knows and trusts, including Objective-C and C++. Our web and mobile frontend is in TypeScript - expertise in this area is a huge plus, but having familiarity with other common web languages is a fine substitute.
We’re a collaborative team who genuinely enjoys working together with a cross-functional team of product managers, designers, frontend, iOS, Android, automation, and quality engineers to make Quip and Slack better products. We are looking for engineers that understand that simplicity and reliability are aspects of a system to be carefully calculated with every decision made.
