Slate is looking for an amazing engineer to build the next-generation mobile keyboard. We are backed by Neo, and have been featured by Forbes, Bloomberg Linea, Vancouver Tech Journal, and others.
About Slate
At Slate, we are reimagining the mobile keyboard from the ground up. We spend so much time on our phones, but creating and writing text beyond short sentences is still painful. Mobile keyboards haven’t changed for the last 15 years, yet the way we interact with our tech has fundamentally shifted. At Slate, we are building the best way to communicate and create through our phones, starting with the keyboard. Our goal is to optimize mobile devices for creation, not just consumption.
Why you should join
- We work at the intersection of AI, Language, Human-Computer Interaction, and Consumer Software. You will have the opportunity go broad or deep on these areas.
- Unlike other AI-adjacent companies, we are working on defensible research-based IP. This is an area that has been under-looked, but the shift in LLMs makes this the perfect time to revisit.
- We work at the front plane of mobile-first creation, you will have influence in the core direction of our company and product. No idea is off-limits— you will enjoy this if you are a creative product builder.
Who we are looking for
- You are an exceptional engineer who can ship beautiful products and iterate fast. You should have experience with iOS development, specifically:
- Swift, SwiftUI, Keyboard Extensions, Shortcuts, AppGroups, mobile development lifecycle, StoreKit.
- You take opinionated decisions— only few companies have worked in this space before.
- You see yourself eventually working at early stage companies: you will get exposure to non-engineering challenges, giving you a founding mindset.
- You have high empathy for our users and want to make their mobile-first life easier.
