Senior Staff iOS Software Engineer, Developer Experience

Favor’s mission is ‘Anything Delivered’. Our engineers make high-touch logistics happen. The Favor technology platform is the engine behind the business, enabling millions of Favors. Our technology efficiently manages the real-time assignment of Runners to Favors, facilitates communication between customers, Runners, and support, keeps thousands of customer and Runner mobile applications in sync, and more. 

We are seeking a Senior Staff iOS Engineer to take on a highly influential, individual contributor role within our Product & Platform Developer Experience Team. This is not a people management position. It is a technical and cultural leadership mandate to revolutionize how iOS engineering is performed across the entire company.

In this unique capacity, you will act as the head of our iOS Engineering Guild and a force multiplier for all mobile development. You will treat our internal engineers as your primary customers, focusing on their work quality/velocity, job gratification, and passion for Favor products and services. Your goal is to eliminate friction, whether that’s through modernizing our iOS architecture, improving our CI/CD on self-hosted runners, implementing robust test automation, or spearheading the use of AI to eliminate bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and outdated engineering processes.

The ideal candidate possesses exceptional product sense (applied to the developer toolchain) and excels at organizing, influencing, and aligning highly senior members of the engineering team. You will be expected to work in close partnership with Technical Product Managers, Architects, and Engineering leaders to define and drive a scalable, company wide strategy for our mobile platform. We love seeing our local team! For those living in Austin, we ask that you drop into the office at least once a month to connect. If you’re based elsewhere, your role is fully remote.

Where you'll work: This role can be hybrid or remote, depending on the team member’s location in Texas. If you live in Austin, Texas, we ask that you work from home roughly three days per week and work at our HQ for the remaining work days. If you live in a different city in Texas, you will primarily work from home, with the opportunity to travel to Austin for company-wide events. No matter where you work best, we foster an inclusive and flexible environment to support our workforce.

Benefits: We offer premium health, vision, dental, and life insurance, alongside 401(k) options. We go beyond the basics, while also throwing in Favor delivery fee credit and H-E-B discounts! 

Paid time off (PTO): We offer unlimited PTO for salaried employees (that’s actually unlimited) and ample vacation time to all team members.

Learning and development: We encourage personal growth and education through Intern(al)ships and Learning Labs taught by Favor team members and external facilitators.

Community: Whether you’re an avid cyclist, dog lover, or Magic enthusiast, there’s a group for you here. We foster community through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), company-wide events, happy hours, and regular connection opportunities.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion: At Favor, we believe that to be the best delivery app in Texas, we need to represent all Texans. We are committed to growing a team with different backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives, and we are an equal opportunity employer. We review all resumes and qualifications with an open mind and encourage you to apply if this role interests you!
