Job description

Founded in 2011, and based in Chicago, we design software that enhances productivity and communication. More than one million people around the world – from students and teachers to top Wall Street investors, lawyers and Hollywood screenwriters – use our technology to empower their work.


Our award-winning iAnnotate allows users to read, mark up and share documents on a tablet.  Building on our success, we are launching a platform that fundamentally re-imagines productivity software and sharing ideas.  


Our team brings together diverse talents and unparalleled expertise in fields including computer science, cognitive science, business, and communication.  We offer access to the very best technology, amazing perks, and a challenging, collaborative work environment.

We're looking for the best engineers out there to join our team and help bring our new game-changing product to market.

You'll be part of a small, high-caliber development team, and primarily responsible for working on our iPhone and iPad application clients -- and potentially also contributing to our Mac OS client. These are highly-polished, UI-rich native applications which require high attention to detail. You will be responsible for the iOS side of creating a seamless, UI-rich application experience across all platforms.

This is a senior-level position with a lot of responsibility. You will be an integral part of the team, with the expectation that you will contribute substantially to new product development, product design, and strategy as well as implementation.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of software development experience across multiple languages and platforms
  • 3+ years of software development on iOS (ideally both iPhone and iPad)
  • Detailed knowledge of iOS APIs, including UIKit, Core Animation, and building custom views
  • Passion for delivering new products to end users
  • Excellent written and verbal communications skills
  • Self-motivated with ability to effectively prioritize and work independently


Extra consideration will be given to candidates with interest in or experience with the following:

  • Detailed knowledge of and experience with iOS HIG
  • Mac OS X / Cocoa UI development experience
  • Experience with UI development on other platforms


If Interested:

  • Please submit resume and a cover letter explaining why you would be a great fit for Branchfire

The engineering team environment is fast-paced and casual. You will be working on a small development team with very smart and experienced peers, building truly innovative products for end users. 

All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
