Who we are, what we do, and how it’s going

We are a fully remote, independent, and profitable company made up of experienced, talented people. We hire globally across time zones from UTC -5 to UTC +2 and currently have people based in Europe, South America, and Canada.

Back in 2017, we saw an issue with last-mile delivery – it was too complicated and stressful for drivers. Circuit started a mission to change that by choosing to develop an app that put the driver, and their customers, first.

We were astounded by the response we received. Within our first year, we had almost 1,000 customers, $100k in ARR, and a team consisting of our two co-founders, Jack and Pol. With a lean team of ~40, we’ve grown to $25M ARR, helping over 100,000 drivers deliver more than 1 billion packages worldwide—about 20 every second.

What you’ll be doing

Joining our existing iOS team of four, you’ll work on our iOS app, moving it and the business forward by continually finding and implementing better solutions for our users.

You will work as an individual contributor, owning and leading projects end-to-end and helping shape how we design and build our app as it grows. Along the way, you’ll review code, share context with the team, keep our standards high, squash the occasional tricky bug, and look for ways to make our tools and processes even better. You’ll work closely with our Product Design and wider Engineering teams to implement high-quality, first-class user experiences.

What you won’t be doing

• Daily stand-ups and fortnightly sprints. Expect ~one meeting per week. We’re not the right fit for you if you rely on regular meetings to keep on track.

• Sacrificing quality. We have high standards and won’t rush to meet an arbitrary deadline.

• Managing people. You’ll mentor others and manage projects, but this will remain an individual contributor role, at least for now.

• Working with junior folks. You need to be okay with doing more low-level and administrative tasks.

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Build great UX!

• Have 8+ years of experience building apps for iOS

• Are a pro with Swift, UIKit, and SwiftUI

• Have used Combine (or something similar like RxSwift)

• Know your way around debugging, profiling, and performance tuning

• Write tests and are comfortable with CI/CD and modern version control workflows

• Like to solve tricky problems and create products that are genuinely nice to use!

• Enjoy the autonomy of managing and implementing projects end-to-end

• Have worked as an individual contributor before, ideally in a small team

• Are at your happiest working on projects from start to finish – talking to users, identifying & exploring issues, designing & implementing solutions, and monitoring their success

• Instinctively know when to take your time – and when to get things done quickly

• Enjoy working autonomously, and know when to trust your gut or gather more data

• Come up with simpler ways to solve complex problems

• Are based in UTC-5 to UTC+2 time zones

• Can speak and write in English at a professional level
