Kitchensurfing Lead iOS Engineer

Kitchensurfing - New York, New York http://www.kitchensurfing.com Full Time --------------------------------------------------

What we're doing:

- Kitchensurfing is an online marketplace where users can find outstanding local chefs to cook for them, at home. Our core mission is twofold: to provide a platform for chefs to grow their independent businesses, while making it possible for people to connect over great food.

- Line chefs at the nicest restaurants in the world make at most $12-15/hour, yet the food they make is sold to diners at a hefty markup. We're trying to bridge the gap.

- People are conditioned to expect great food in restaurants — and rarely elsewhere. We want to change the way people eat, while preserving the efficiency and hospitality of a great restaurant experience.

- Most internet service companies attempt to decrease human interaction through software efficiency. We’re building a company that does the opposite. We think there's something magical about having a chef in your kitchen while you relax and enjoy the company of your guests.

How we're doing it:

- We’re committed to code quality and productivity. With those values in mind, we pair program, test drive and practice continuous integration in a Rails/iOS environment. We don't work 'startup hours', just normal ones.

- We're a small team (currently 8 engineers). We rotate often between pairs and across projects.

- We deploy code whenever we finish a feature. As an example, last week we deployed to production 34 times.

Who we're looking for:

- You're interested in working with iOS and pair programming the majority of the time. You want to write tests for any feature you implement.

- You're more interested in building a great product and shipping features than you are in figuring out the cleverest solution to a problem.
