You’ll always be thinking about the user’s experience and advocating for mobile users, with the rest of the company focusing on growth initiatives.

Our colocation work model supports employees both remotely and onsite each week. Employees are required to be in the office on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday and as needed by their manager or the company. This hybrid working environment facilitates collaboration, increases work efficiency, and enhances employee growth.

In this role, you will:

  • Influence within your team for the right engineering improvements to increase the quality of our software, testing, and processes

What you bring to the table:

  • Multiple years of experience in mobile software development
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills on mobile software products
  • Proficiency in either iOS or Android development and some level of comfort with the other
  • Eagerness to learn, grow, and take on new challenges
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills across a range of audiences

Bonus points if you have:

Total compensation for this role is market competitive, depending on location and experience, as well as company stock options.
  • Collaborate with your manager and team to create a healthy work-life balance
  • We offer 25 days of annual leave (and we expect you to take them!)
  • Competitive health, dental, and vision insurance (100% employee and 75% dependent)
  • Pension with employer contribution provided through Aviva
  • Professional Development stipend (teach yourself something new)
  • Paid Family, Medical and Caregiver leave, and Wellness benefits
  • Employees are eligible to participate in the Quizlet stock option program

We strive to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome!

We work to create a holistic interview process, where both Quizlet and candidates have an opportunity to view what it would be like to work together, in exploring a mutually beneficial partnership.

We provide a transparent setting that gives a comprehensive view of who we are!

In Closing:

We hope you are excited about everything you read so far. We highly encourage you to apply for this position, even if you feel you do not meet all the requirements. Quizlet is always looking for amazing folks that believe in our mission and can contribute to our team in various ways - not merely candidates that fit a certain mould.

We have a bias for action, take initiative, and hustle to deliver results. We make informed decisions whenever possible but are unafraid to take calculated risks on great ideas to promote learning. We embrace challenges and see effort as the path to mastery. We’re constantly seeking opportunities to learn and we embrace curiosity. Quality matters at Quizlet, and we hold the bar high on everything we do.

We treat each other with honesty and respect, encourage vigorous debate, and seek critical feedback. We value diversity, humility, transparency, and collaboration as the best paths to our success — as individuals, as a team, and as a company.
