[Remote] Software Engineer (Native SDKs)

Remote Full-time Now Hiring

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Storyteller is a high-growth B2B SaaS platform that enables companies to integrate Stories into their apps and websites. The Software Engineer will build and maintain native iOS and Android SDK features, improve performance and developer experience, solve customer integration issues, and contribute to engineering quality using AI-assisted development.

Responsibilities

  • Own features end-to-end: understand the problem, design a simple solution, build it (often with AI assistance), test it, and refine based on feedback
  • Improve performance, reliability, release quality and developer ergonomics across our native SDKs and supporting services
  • Debug tricky issues across SDKs and customer integrations – using logs, diagnostics and good hypotheses rather than guesswork
  • Work with Product and Delivery to understand real customer use-cases and constraints
  • Propose simple, pragmatic solutions instead of over-engineering
  • Help streamline the integration experience so partners can get to “first story live” quickly and safely
  • Enhance documentation, code examples, and integration guides, often using AI to draft and then editing for clarity
  • Identify friction points for integrators and proactively champion improvements
  • Make small, continuous DX improvements (tooling, scripts, templates) rather than waiting for a big “clean-up project”
  • Use AI tools by default for exploration, scaffolding and refactors – and then verify outputs with tests, types, and your own judgement
  • Use first-principles thinking to cut through complexity: start from the goal and constraints, choose the simplest thing that works, and be willing to delete your own code when a better approach appears
  • Participate in thoughtful code reviews: give clear, kind, direct feedback and be open to having your own ideas challenged
  • Help improve CI pipelines, test suites and dev scripts so the whole team moves faster and more safely over time
  • Maintain high ownership and follow-through from idea to release: surface blockers early, communicate clearly, and finish what you start

Skills

  • 2–4 years of hands-on experience building production mobile apps or SDKs in Swift for iOS or Kotlin for Android
  • Strong knowledge of at least one native mobile platform – iOS with Swift or Android with Kotlin – including its modern frameworks and build tooling
  • Familiarity with APIs/HTTP, mobile app lifecycles, performance and automated testing
  • A proactive mindset – you look ahead, anticipate problems, and propose solutions instead of waiting to be told what to do
  • AI-native working style – you're comfortable adopting new tools early, especially AI-assisted coding, and you see AI as the default starting point rather than a last resort
  • Clear reasoning and trade-off thinking– you can explain why you chose one approach over another in simple language
  • Strong written and verbal communication for remote collaboration
  • Reliability – you deliver on commitments, surface blockers early, and take responsibility for the quality of your work
  • You don't need prior SDK experience or to work across both platforms, but you should be comfortable building libraries and APIs other developers depend on
  • Experience building mobile SDKs, reusable libraries or developer tools
  • Experience across iOS and Android, or with cross-platform SDKs such as React Native; familiarity with SDK distribution, CI/CD or versioning
  • Open-source contributions, side projects or technical write-ups that show how you think
  • Interest in sports, media or content tech
  • You enjoy figuring out the simplest way to solve a real problem more than endlessly polishing code
  • You're happy to lean on AI for a lot of the heavy lifting, and focus your energy on decisions, structure and correctness
  • You like understanding how your work is used by other developers and care about making their lives easier
  • Your ideal day is working alone perfecting hand-written code and you're reluctant to use AI or share ownership
  • You mainly want to critique AI-generated code or architecture from a distance rather than ship small, concrete improvements regularly

Benefits

  • Fully remote working anywhere in Egypt
  • Paid take-home task (~60 mins); we compensate you for completing it regardless of the outcome.
