iOS Engineer
As an engineer at Prolific, you are the ultimate maker of a product team. You turn elegant, well-thought-out designs into reality. There’s no blocker you can’t remove, no feedback you can’t learn from, and no boundary to your role. That’s the formula we’ve used to deliver such amazing apps for leading brands like American Express, Saks Fifth Avenue, Gap, and SoulCycle.
At Prolific, our “people first” culture is all about the team — we are creative and ambitious professionals with a great sense of humor. Our office has plenty of dogs, but no dogmas. We embrace and celebrate differences — differences of background and culture, of approach and opinion. We want you to face challenges you’re excited about, and to speak up when something doesn’t quite look right.
Engineers at Prolific are responsible for more than just delivering clean, maintainable code — though that’s important too. You’ll get to collaborate with product managers and designers to shape major product decisions and solve thorny problems. Prolific engineers are teachers, too: through mentorship, pair programming, and public speaking you’ll pass your expert knowledge on to interns and new recruits. It’s how we’ve built one of the best iOS teams in the world.
