A good education is one that inspires curiosity, creativity, and community. Our software enables that through visual content creation and collaboration in millions of classrooms worldwide.\nFor a majority of the world, the mobile device is their first computer. For many it’s their only computer. We are looking for Mobile Engineers to improve our mobile apps so we can improve the lives of a billion people.\nResponsibilities\nBuilding new features for our iOS and/or Android apps. E.g. a voice recorder with audio effects.\n\nMaking apps faster and more reliable. E.g. making network calls more resistant to spotty internet connections.\n\nImproving how we work. E.g. improving our internationalization pipelines we use to translate our app into 40+ languages.\n\nQualifications\nAt some point in your life, someone has told you: “you write good code.”\n\nYou know how to copy-paste code from Stack Overflow.\n\nBonus: you have a good sense of humor.\n\nAbout Padlet\nVision: Every child in the world will grow up with Mickey Mouse and Padlet.\n\nProduct: We are making the default way of collecting and sharing thoughts on the Internet. People love the product.\n\nImpact: We have 40 million users, making Padlet one of the most used apps on the planet.\n\nMoney: We are venture backed AND fiscally responsible. We are built to last one hundred years.\n\nBadassery: We are only 60 odd people. That's over half a million active users per person.\n\nTech stack\nMobile apps: React Native (with Swift and Java where necessary.)\n\nBackend: Ruby (Rails), Typescript, Elixir (Phoenix), and Python.\n\nWeb: VueJS, Tailwind.\n\nStorage: Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, Firestore, and Snowflake.\n\nJoys of programming at Padlet\nWe have very few meetings. We value keeping you in flow.\n\nA lot of people use Padlet. We have to solve interesting concurrency problems.\n\nOur users are in over 200 countries, using all kinds of devices and connections, and speaking over 40 languages. We have to solve interesting internationalization problems.\n\nWe process a lot of data real fast. We have to solve interesting scale problems.\n\nWe try to solve problems creatively instead of just throwing money at them. We are engineers! We thrive in constraints, not in the absence of them.\n\nWe ship often.\n\nWe value beautiful code.\n\nSorrows of programming at Padlet\nWe grew pretty fast last year and our processes are still catching up. E.g. we don't have 100% code coverage yet. Our deployment process isn't as painless as it could be. This sometimes leads to spending time on things that aren't the most fun. We’re working on it!\n\nOur project management process could be better. This sometimes leads to re-speccing in the middle of development, getting in the way of programming flow. We’re working on it!\n\nSome people you‘d be working with\nBrian Koh: Only human we know who has impulsive urges to exercise. When he does, he doesn't care about outfits. We've seen him running in boots, tight jeans, and leather jackets. Exceptional engineer and even better mentor.\n\nChee Kit Chong: Chee Kit is responsible for at least 10% of Japan's GDP. He's there like every other week. Soon, they'd have to start reclaiming land so he has new things to see. Mobile engineer extraordinaire.\n\nThe office\nWe have a beautiful office in the historic Bukit Pasoh Neighbourhood.\n\n1 minute walk from Outram Park MRT.\n\nWe have a lovely balcony. It's really, truly lovely.\n\nDesigned to be a space to inspire creativity and collaboration.\n\nBenefits\nMedical and dental insurance for you and your family.\n\nStock options.\n\nCatered lunches and dinners. Military grade snacking.\n\n20 vacation days. Plus sickness and bereavement days for when life happens.\n\nParental leave.\n\nAll the gadgetry you need, including a new phone every year.\n\nBadassery budget to level up.\n\nSpecial time to join\nBecause we're small, there's a lot of energy. And because we have tremendous traction, your first commit touches millions. This combination is rare and quite satisfying.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4020,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Dental insurance","Parental leave","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["EdTech Platforms","Team Communication & Collaboration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-09T23:39:06Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T15:39:39Z"}],"liveness":{"score":2,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.089,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":394,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:25","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-02T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/padlet-software-engineer-mobile","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/padlet-software-engineer-mobile.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-03T03:23:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3114,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1886,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-04T00:00:00Z"}}}
