Our Mac app is a powerful vector editor at its core, but unlike many other design tools, we built it for UX/UI design. We pay attention to use cases like icon design and prototyping, and we pioneered features like Symbols and Libraries to create reusable design components.
You’ll join over 60 Mac, backend, frontend, QA and infrastructure engineers in the Technology team. We work in multi-disciplinary teams with different areas of responsibility. Some of us focus our technology foundations, others work on product verticals. Our work impacts the entire company, so you can expect to work closely with product managers and designers, as well.
About you
You'll be working on our Apple Design Award-winning Mac app. We primarily develop using Swift, though the Mac app has a large body of existing Objective-C which you'll need to be comfortable working with.
In addition to coding, you'll review code from other engineers to keep our quality high and help the whole team to constantly improve. Day to day you will work with an engineering manager, world-class designers and other Mac and web engineers to specify, design and build features for Sketch. You are expected to have a certain degree of autonomy and to balance work on features alongside improvements and bug-fixing while working on a Continuous Delivery environment.
Not everything that you or your team do can be perfect, but you make sure that you always understand the trade-offs. You back your decisions with arguments. You don't care for hype and always try to find the best solution and technology for the job and its context.
You are a pragmatist and understand that technology is a medium to build products. You understand the tradeoffs between code readability, simplicity, development speed, performance and maintainability.
