About Sentiance

Sentiance is a data science company turning IOT sensor data into rich insights about people’s behavior and real-time context. These insights enable companies to understand how customers go through their everyday lives, discover and anticipate the moments that matter most, and adapt their engagement to real-world behavior and real-time context.

Position

The mission of the Mobile Engineer is, simply put, to collect high-quality data and perform on-device data processing with minimal use of CPU cycles, memory, and battery while respecting OS permission governance and user privacy. Therefore, it is not classic app development, but rather optimizing background processing through low-level APIs. iOS Mobile Engineers are expected to have a solid understanding of SDK design best practices, how iOS governs the background processes, optimizing sensor readings and network I/O, and have a data-driven mindset.
