Company mission

To connect people by creating memories while they are physically apart!

Role

Who you are

  • Minimum of 3 years of experience as an iOS engineer. This is not a junior position - you must have significant real-world experience working autonomously in an iOS engineering team
  • A love for gaming, however you define it
  • An interest in product and taking ownership of broad product areas (likes to run experiments, talk to users, and use the product avidly)
  • Deep UIKit, Foundation, and Swift knowledge
  • Experience shipping a widely-used iOS native app
  • Practiced at using analytics, testing, user feedback, bug, and crash reports to inform app development
  • Experience using REST APIs and working with backend teams to accomplish product goals
  • Reactive programming experience
  • You read and write well and can communicate and collaborate both synchronously and asynchronously

Desirable

  • A love for gaming, however, you'd define that!
  • Capability to develop on Android and iOS
  • Is a Medal.tv user – if so, be sure to share a clip below
  • Experience with other Apple technologies - Objective-C, iPadOS, macOS..
  • Using SwiftUI in production
  • Working with video on mobile (performance, encoding, AVFoundation etc.)
  • Maintenance of CI systems – Github Actions a plus

What the job involves

  • You will join our NYC-based Content Team alongside other iOS engineers in Europe to work on the native Swift Medal app. The app lets users watch gaming clips from other players, and also store/share/manage clips of their own. We plan to rapidly iterate with social and content experiences in the app
  • We are looking for someone that can take on big features alone, come up with architecture or performance improvements that make a tangible difference to our users, keep on top of analytics as the product evolves, and of course chip away at bugs. As part of a young start-up, this is an opportunity to help define the hard problems you'll end up working on
  • We are building a world-class iOS team with diversified skills and backgrounds and we're excited to find our next engineer to help grow native mobile at Medal

Our take

Video games have become highly social experiences due to multiplayer gaming, eSports, and social media, spawning a huge market for audiences who enjoy watching gaming-related video content. Gamers commonly stream games and edit the footage to produce memes and engage with friends, but this requires many software tools and a separate platform to share experiences on.

Medal.tv provides a social platform for gaming video clips, allowing users to record and edit footage, make gaming memes, and share content with friends within the same software. The platform collects in-game data to mitigate cheating and cyberbullying and integrates directly into any Windows or Android game.

Whilst the company will face great competition from platform giants such as Youtube, TikTok, and Twitch, Medal.tv shows the potential to stand out by being specifically designed for gaming content. Furthermore, the platform’s accessible video capturing and editing interface keeps the end-to-end social gaming experience within the same platform, making it more convenient and immersive for gamers than on other platforms.
