Hi there, we're Five Good Friends and we're an Aged Care and NDIS service provider made up of good people using helpful software. We help our clients live vibrantly in their own homes by wrapping an entire care team around them and their families. Our software loops everyone together so care teams get the right information and families know what's going on. Our clients tell their story once and care teams do the rest.

Good people using helpful software is how we do care differently and the reason why we're invited back into the homes of our clients over 9,000 times per month. We've been doing this since 2016, we're spread across eight cities, we're growing at a steady pace, we're generating real revenue, and now we're looking for an iOS Engineer to join our Software Team so we can keep getting exceptional outcomes for our clients.

About the job

This is a hybrid job where you'll work primarily as an iOS Engineer and sometimes as a Ruby on Rails Engineer. We structure our work around projects and focus on one project at a time. When we pitch a project you'll know upfront if you're going to be doing iOS or Ruby on Rails. We don't expect you to have this breadth at the start, so you'll get an education allowance on the job as well as the support of a team that's inclusive, kind and flexible to help you grow.

You'll be taking over the reins of our iOS app from our CTO to become its dedicated owner. This is a nimble, indie-like position where you'll craft everything from big pieces of architecture through to little pieces of polished interactions. You'll keep our app running reliably and you'll release updates to the App Store. It's broad, but you'll have considerable influence over steering its future direction and you'll only ship software that you're proud to show your friends and family. You won't be doing this by yourself. You'll partner with our Android Engineer and Product Designers to try new concepts together.

Our iOS app is written in Swift and built around an underrated library called Turbolinks. The union of native view controllers on top of a shared web view is how our small team has been able to punch above its weight without doing any overtime.

To give you a better idea of of the job are some real examples of the work we did on the last iOS project:

About you

We're looking for an experienced candidate who's ready for a blend of iOS and web work. We think you're probably an iOS Engineer who's built a web backend, or you're a Ruby on Rails Engineer who's dabbled with iOS. Either way, this is a legitimate opportunity to sharpen up on the job where learning and teaching are a core part of how we work.

You should be someone who believes in the collective ownership of code. When we ship a polished feature, we all shipped that feature. When we accidentally wrote a bug, we all wrote that bug. We lean on each other, we look up to each other, and we're kind, honest, and flexible with each other. We invite debate and we encourage alternative ways of thinking, but when we commit, we put our differences aside and we see it through.

Over your working week you'll make hundreds of important decisions. No one will tell you what to do, but you will have a clear goal, and if it's not clear, we'll work at it until it is. We take the time to think and we make the time to experiment. Delighting users is what lights our fire. We take new concepts from ideation through to production. We set up monitoring and we watch the metrics. We write code that we're proud of and we see ourselves as generalists at heart.
