Apptimize seeks strategic, inquisitive engineers
Apptimize lets mobile teams instantly update their apps, enabling 10x faster product iteration cycles, app optimization, and A/B testing. Our customers include big companies such as Nook and Ebay, as well as Top 10 apps such as Flipagram. We work incredibly hard, and we’re striving to build the strongest engineering team in the world. If you’re addicted to software development, we have a lot to offer.

Team

We count amongst us a fencing squad, an EMT, a multi-instrumentalist, a top DoTa player, a prominent hacker, and a DJ. Hailing from Italy to Indiana, we've run marathons in costume, written apps for squids, and traded everything from MTG cards to fixed income futures. If you're curious, visit apptimize.com/team.

We evaluate candidates on curiosity even before evaluating them technically.

Self Improvement

You will have huge autonomy and ownership over your part of the product. You can set up new infrastructure and tools, expense business products and services, and even subcontract some of your tasks if you think it's a good idea.

You will learn to be a more goal-driven agent, and understand the impact of everything you do on the rest of the business.

Access to our library of over 50 books and audiobooks, and the freedom to purchase more.

Everyone shares insights they’ve had every week.

Self-improvement is so important to us that we only hire people committed to it. When we say that it’s a company value, we mean it.

Roles

Frontend developer: Our frontend is complex because it has everything from a multimodal interface, a WYSIWYG editor, and analytics results reporting. You want to own the frontend. Not only do you obsess with UX, you care about product and focus on the customer. You are ruthless at prioritization and can communicate with everyone in the organization about the user perspective.

Library engineer: Our SDK’s are installed on a lot of phones in a lot of top 10 apps, so the first rule is to do no harm. You are a perceptive and creative person excited about inventing cutting edge technologies.

Backend engineer: You love designing infrastructure. You can articulate the consequences of different technical decisions. An interest in sysops is awesome but not required.

The Work

This is a demanding role in which you will be frequently engaged with other parts of the company on design and architecture and product direction.

Our mobile engineers dive into the dark, undocumented corners of iOS and Android, while our backend crunches data from billions of requests per day.

Engineers get giant monitors, a top-of-the-line MacBook pro, and we’ll pay for whatever else is needed to get the job done.

We don’t demand prior experience, but we do demand the fearlessness to jump outside your comfort zone and job description. That said, our website uses AngularJS, jQuery, and nginx, while our backend uses AWS, Java (the good parts), and PostgreSQL.

You have a pragmatic, results-oriented personality. If “ship first, refactor and optimize later” describes your development approach, we’re the team for you.

We don’t have gratuitous perks, but we have what counts: Free snacks and catered meals, an excellent health and dental plan, and free membership to a gym across the street.

Seriously, working here is awesome. As one engineer puts it, “we’re like a family bent on taking over the world.”
