Mobile Engineer

We are looking for a mobile engineer to join the Grow team, where we strive to establish a strong first impression of the Artsy experience to drive new user growth, early retention, and foster long-lasting relationships with collectors.

As a member of our Grow team, you will work on the Artsy mobile ecosystem to build a series of experimental onboarding experiences for our users and help us collect the data necessary to improve upon them. Your work will directly impact our users’ first impressions of the Artsy marketplace and, in some cases, the art industry. As such, you will have the exciting opportunity to contribute to the expansion and democratization of the art market around the world.

At Artsy, Engineers work closely with our Product, Data, and Design teams to create a world-class user experience that allows our growing community to discover, buy, and enjoy art. You’ll be joining an engineering team that is building the world's largest marketplace for art. Our team believes in open source by default, invests in psychological safety, and in constantly improving our tools and processes. The Artsy Engineering team is centered around learning and knowledge sharing, in addition to both personal and team development.

Our mobile engineering team primarily works in React Native that interacts with all mobile native frameworks. Our entire engineering organization relies on TypeScript, GraphQL, React, Relay, Storybooks, Yarn, Jest, and Visual Studio Code.

What You’ll Do: 

• Build and maintain the mobile user experiences that introduce Artsy to new art collectors. 
• Write clean, testable code with an attention to performance and scalability
• Advocate for best coding practices within a large, heterogeneous team
• Collaborate with teammates through knowledge shares, pair programming, and an open feedback loop
• Participate in the Grow team’s process and ceremonies
• Contribute to the engineering culture at Artsy and the rest of the industry via our open source community, our blogging platform, and our podcast

About Artsy Engineering: 

Artsy's engineering principles are open source. We encourage knowledge building and sharing within the larger tech community through open source software, blog posts, and other free resources. Artsy would rather proudly discover (and improve) an existing tool than build it ourselves from scratch. Through our work, we try to create more value than we capture. That means that when we learn something new, we try to share that knowledge through blog posts and open source documentation. A successful candidate will bring their own unique perspective to help us achieve this mission.
