Our four products - Scribd®, Slideshare®, Everand™, and Fable - help billions of people across the globe move beyond access and into insight, application, and expertise.\nCulture at Scribd, Inc.\nWe 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.\nWe 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.\nSo 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.\nThis posting reflects an approved, open position within the organization.\nAbout Our Team\nOur 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 Retention & Monetization team focuses on conversion flows, subscription management, and retention experiences that maximize long-term value for our users.

Our work ties directly to revenue and retention.\nAbout the Role\nWe 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.
