Senior iOS Engineer Engineering · Auckland, Christchurch

About Us At Basis, our purpose is to radically accelerate the clean-energy revolution - starting with smarter, safer, and more efficient homes. We’re focused on improving experiences for people through the application of technology, data, and a deep understanding of human behaviour. Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality. Basis is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life. Our team is smart, curious and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you! The Role Basis is on the hunt for an experienced iOS Engineer to help us build our mobile capabilities and launch our digital experience to market! This role will play a critical role in launching our digital experiences to market and extending and refining them post-launch. The role is focused on designing and developing complex mobile applications that integrate closely with our unique hardware offering. It requires a solid technical understanding of current mobile technologies and concepts to achieve this. You will be expected to work with IoT communications technologies like BLE, Wifi and interact with physical hardware both in the office and at home. Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

• Development: Ship new value and functionality to our users by implementing new features and integrations, fixing bugs and technical debt.
• Design: Architect complex mobile solutions with a strong technical understanding of current mobile technologies and concepts.
• Testing: Write unit tests for your own code, and help develop and maintain automated functional tests, as well as provide detailed testing notes to assist QA Engineers in their work.
• Security: Navigate complex security and privacy requirements to ensure we balance UX with the interests of our users. Ensure our mobile apps meet security and privacy best practices and any vulnerabilities are caught early and resolved.
• Cross Platform Development: Have a good understanding of not only iOS but also how Android works and how it differs from iOS. Be able and willing to pick up Android work if the need arises from time to time to help the squad meet its goals.
• CI/CD: Implement CI/CD pipelines to build, test and distribute apps.
• Mentoring: Share your expert knowledge across our Digital Engineering chapter, and help advance Basis’ mobile development practices. Actively participate in code reviews and engage in peer programming with others to help solve tricky problems.

We value UI and design as highly as core 'to the metal' coding - we believe that one needs the other to create wonder in people’s lives, and that's exactly what we do! If you are a Mobile Engineer passionate about designing and developing complex mobile solutions and have a strong technical understanding of current mobile technologies and concepts then we want to hear from you. Note: as part of the application process we ask you to provide some previous work samples via whatever format works best for you. Applications without these will not be considered. About You We think you’ll be a fit for this role if you possess the following skills or attributes:

• Around 7+ years of software engineering experience specialising in mobile development
• Proficiency in iOS development (SwiftUI preferable but UIKit, React Native or Flutter is acceptable)
• Experience integrating with BLE and/or IoT devices
• Experience interacting with REST and GraphQL APIs from mobile apps
• In-depth knowledge of the mobile app release cycle
• Experience with source control such as Git
• Communication skills for a highly collaborative software development process
• Actively seeks to develop yourself through feedback, learning, and an openness to new ideas. You view challenges as opportunities for growth.
• Ability to communicate frequently, clearly and concisely to enable effective teamwork and build trust with colleagues.

This role can be based in either Auckland or Christchurch. Research shows that while men apply for jobs when they meet ~ 60% of the job criteria, women and other marginalised groups tend to apply only when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes, but are not sure you check every box, we still want to hear from you. Benefits

• A competitive salary and employee share scheme (ESOP)
• A hybrid-first culture - work from home or come into the office, it's totally up to you
• Tools of trade, including laptop and headphones, and we also pay your phone bill!
• Flexible hours - we focus on effort and outcomes, so adjust your hours around your children, hobbies, or other commitments
• A schedule of fun team events throughout the year (ziplining, knife throwing, lawn games, what's next?)
• Office dogs
• Access to Clearhead, our well-being programme which gives you 5x free sessions with a psychologist per year
• A $200 one-off payment towards your home workstation
• A commitment to diversity and inclusion: Pride Committee and partnering with Pride Pledge, DEIB Committee, EEO Policy and well-being strategy!
• Parental leave policy that tops up wages to 100% for the primary caregiver for up to 22 weeks (conditions apply)
• The opportunity to learn and develop from some of the best and brightest minds in the industry!
