Our four products — Scribd®, Slideshare®, Everand™, and Fable — help billions of people across the globe move beyond access and into insight, application, and expertise. CULTURE AT SCRIBD, INC. We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer. We believe the best work happens when individual flexibility is balanced with meaningful community connection. Scribd Flex empowers employees to choose the workstyle and location that support their best performance, while committing to intentional in-person moments that strengthen collaboration and culture. Occasional in-person attendance is required for all Scribd, Inc. employees, regardless of location. So what are we looking for in new team members? At Scribd, Inc., we hire for “GRIT.” Traditionally defined as the intersection of passion and perseverance toward long-term goals, GRIT reflects the mindset we expect from every employee. For us, it also serves as a practical framework for how we work: setting and achieving Goals, delivering Results within your role, contributing Innovative ideas and solutions, and strengthening the broader Team through collaboration and attitude. This posting reflects an approved, open position within the organization. ABOUT OUR TEAM Our iOS Engineering team plays a pivotal role in enhancing the experience of our 2 million subscribers through two key iOS apps: Everand and Scribd. The Everand app is a gateway for our users to access an expansive library of over 7 million titles, including ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts, and magazine articles, offering a Netflix-like experience. Meanwhile, the Scribd app provides access to an extensive collection of over 100 million user-uploaded documents, including PDFs and other formats. The Growth organization drives user engagement and business impact across the customer journey. The Retention & Monetization team focuses on conversion flows, subscription management, and retention experiences that maximize long-term value for our users. On mobile, that means we own how people start, manage, and keep their subscriptions: paywalls, in-app purchases, plan changes, cancellation and save flows, and the experiments behind them. Our work ties directly to revenue and retention. ABOUT THE ROLE We are seeking a Senior iOS Engineer to join our Growth Retention & Monetization team. You will be the iOS technical owner for the team across the Everand and Scribd apps, and lead the subscription, paywall, and retention features that drive revenue. You will build in-app purchase flows with StoreKit, ship A/B experiments, and partner with backend, web, and Android engineers on shared subscription systems. You will also improve app stability, pay down technical debt, and mentor the engineers around you.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS * 5+ years of experience shipping iOS apps to the public, including consumer apps at scale. * Strong proficiency in Swift, with deep experience in SwiftUI and UIKit. * Comfort working in a mature codebase that still has Objective-C. * Experience building in-app purchase or subscription features with StoreKit, and knowledge of the App Store rules that apply to them. * Experience designing, building, and consuming APIs (REST, GraphQL a plus). * A track record of addressing technical debt and migrating code to newer technologies without slowing delivery. * Excellent communication skills and ability to lead technical initiatives in a collaborative environment. TECHNICAL SKILLS * Primary: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit * Secondary: Objective-C * Payments: StoreKit and StoreKit 2, App Store subscriptions * Testing: XCTest, XCUITest (or similar) * API Integration: RESTful APIs, JSON, GraphQL * Tooling: Xcode, Git, and iOS CI/CD NICE TO HAVE * Experience with subscription systems, payments, or retention features such as paywalls, trials, cancellation and save flows, or win-back. * Experience with experimentation platforms (Statsig or similar) and product analytics. * Familiarity with web technologies (JavaScript, JSON, REST) or backend frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, to support cross-stack collaboration. * Exposure to Auth0 or similar authentication frameworks. * Interest in cross-platform collaboration with Android and web teams.
