Position: Full-time/Part-time/Freelance
- Roles: iOS developers
- Full-time positions available if we find we work well together!
Responsibility: Help us create the BEST news app for South-east Asians and Asia Pacific! This entails:
- Run weekly experiments that can improve user engagement
- Constantly optimise app and backend performance and experience
- Participating in product design and ideation for current and future versions
- Provide insight on the latest best practices
- Hanging out at Starbucks and help each other out
Experience: By definition this is a “senior” position, but meh, I don’t believe in defining experience by how many years you’ve worked. So long you know your tools that fits your job, so long you know your stuff well enough to be able to work on your own, we’re good.
But here are at least a couple of things we'd expect that you have experience with:
- Objective-C and/or Swift experience, XCode, the usual jazz
- Comfortable with working remotely with other team members. Self-discipline is a must.
- Empathy and interest in understanding people, especially our users, creating the best products for people, not just machines
- Drive to keep up with latest developments of technologies
- A sense of humour is optional but highly recommended
Part-time/Freelance rates: Negotiable!
Location/hours: We’re a small distributed team, we work remotely, you can work at anywhere and anytime you want.
How: We have a list of things to work on, then we decide on what to work on for the time period. Give us a timeframe on how long it takes for you to work on the stuff, let us know how much time you spent on the project, we cash out. We work on simple rules, we trust you!
Race, age, gender and stuff: We don’t care.
Note: We are looking for individuals to work closely together. If you’re representing an agency or a development house, sorry, we have no projects that require that scale at the moment.

AtticTV is a startup that works on websites and apps that help people connect to their interests with ease. We find that many good news apps out there are focused on the US or European market, and we find it hard to have apps that provide news in our area, based on our local sources, catering to our ever-expanding list of interests, speaking our own languages.
That’s why we created SPOT News, local news for your country right at your fingertips. Currently we have SPOT News Malaysia, SPOT News Singapore as well as SPOT News Indonesia, and we're looking towards expanding to other countries. All our news products supports multiple languages, from English, Malay, Indonesian and Chinese, covering a wide range of topics from national news to business to lifestyle for each respective countries, updated every minute.
Currently we're the No.1 News & Magazines app at the Google Play Store, Malaysia. We need you to help us bring this app to other Southeast-Asian countries, and of course, iOS!
We are startup guys, no corporate bullshit here. We only do in-house products, we don’t do client work, so everyone in this team, including you, have full control over how our end products is going to be.
You are self-motivated and dedicated to build apps that makes a difference. You know how to work with various APIs and like to put together libraries and tools that help you work better.
You communicate with your co-workers effectively and set weekly goals and tasks to be carried out. You respect deadlines and you are comfortable with working remotely. You enjoy solving tough problems and love working with data. You seek the shortest route to reach your goal and keep things simple and clean.
You like working with startups, and you like flexibility in your working hours, tasks and projects. You work well with a team, conjuring bits and parts of the app that will make up the magical whole. You can communicate technical concepts with all levels of the organisation including the CEO, CTO, designers and marketing folks within the company.
You have the uncanny ability to tackle problems with imaginative solutions. You are a self-starting, energetic individual who is not afraid to question assumptions, to be a leader at what you do. You had built a couple of sites and apps in the past as either side projects, or shipped a full-scale app with a company.
We don't care about your age, gender, race, where you stay or whatever. The length of your working experience does NOT matter. Most importantly, you are an engineer that wants to make a change, that wants to make people smile. That is all that matters.
