**The opportunity**

Grammarly empowers people to thrive and connect, whenever and wherever they communicate. More than 20 million people around the world use our AI-powered writing assistant every day. All of this begins with our team collaborating in a values-driven and learning-oriented environment. 

Grammarly’s engineers and researchers have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap. The complexity of our technical challenges is growing rapidly as we scale our interfaces, algorithms, and infrastructure. Read more about our stack or hear from our team on our technical blog.

**Your impact**
For most people, the challenge and inconvenience of writing well on mobile are among the biggest barriers to using their phones for professional communication. That’s why we built the Grammarly Keyboard for iOS: to bring effective and mistake-free writing to mobile devices. Since launching in 2017, we’ve built a strong active user base and gained stellar traction—our users are using the keyboard more than 60 times per day.

But while the keyboard may look simple, it’s extremely challenging to execute flawlessly. A one-second delay after you hit a button in an app might be OK, but would you use a keyboard that didn’t respond instantly to your touch? When you build a product that can respond instantly while running machine learning models and continuously communicating with servers in one-tenth of a second, it becomes even more challenging to deliver a delightful user experience.

The iOS team also has created a revamped Grammarly for iPad, which optimizes the Grammarly Keyboard and the Grammarly Editor for tablet users, helping to power the productivity and creativity across multiple devices. 

**As an iOS Engineer at Grammarly, you will:**

Contribute to the architecture of the app.
Collaborate with the team to design and build new features.
Ensure the quality and responsiveness of the keyboard.
Deliver a smooth experience in a resource-constrained environment.
Contribute to building a seamless experience with the Grammarly Editor on iPad
