Position

With a small group of people, we're building apps for Blendle. And that's nice, because each and every small change is noticed by thens of thousands of users instantly (and counting).

Our ultimate goal? To provide a seamless and fantastic user experience for journalism. We believe a combination of stories that change your perspective on what's going on and butter-smooth apps will help people to look at the world differently.

We have a second goal: build an organisation that helps people grow in their skills. You can read more on how we do this in our public handbook. This is why we spend a ton of time on coaching and feedback within Blendle. We'll help you set audacious goals and grow new skills.

All our new components are built in Swift, so we expect you to be fluent in this as well. You know your way around different architectural patterns used on iOS, and you also have a keen eye for design and UX.

But perhaps the most important bit is that you’re smart and eager to learn. We’ve come across developers who didn’t apply at Blendle, just because they didn’t feel like they would be good enough. And most of the times, it turned out they were underestimating themselves.
