About BiggerPockets

BiggerPockets is a leading digital platform for real estate investors. Our mission is to help people build wealth through real estate investing. We're looking for a Mobile Engineering Manager who shares our passion for innovation and can help drive our technical capabilities to new heights.

About You

You have a passion for bringing people together to build great software. You're a big advocate of agile practices. You have high standards for quality. You understand what your team is building because of your deep technical skills. You can provide technical and architectural guidance as needed but are also comfortable overseeing the work of your innovative team. While one of your principles is to take responsibility for everything that happens on your watch, you derive your sense of satisfaction from seeing your team succeed through your ability to empower them. You know that autonomy, mastery, and purpose are core to the goal of having your team members go home and say, "That was a great day". You take the responsibility of career development of the developers in your team seriously. You deliver on business goals consistently. You seek ways to streamline and improve velocity through continuous learning and change. Ultimately you do all this in the service of the customer because you know that through your work, you can make a difference in their lives. But look, let's be honest, the right environment matters, the kind of people you're spending that time with matters, and you're not interested in being a cog in some big soulless corporation.

About the Tech

Our hybrid mobile app uses Swift / UIKit / Hotwire Native for its native parts and HTML and JS served by Ruby on Rails for embedded web views. Experience with Rails is preferable, but look, you're bright, so you can learn it.

About our People

It's all about the people. Our people describe us as fun, quirky, friendly, and we have a flexible, informal culture.

About the Product
