About SAJA
SAJA is building a new way to collect, trade, and engage with physical collectibles through a digital-first experience. We’re looking for a Software Engineer to help us build and ship the product itself, primarily on iOS, with room to work across the stack as you grow.
What you’ll do
- Build and ship features in our iOS app, from the pack-opening experience to collection management to payments.
- Work across the stack when a feature needs it, including the TypeScript backend that powers the app.
- Take features from a rough idea to something in front of real users, and stay with them after launch.
- Debug issues in production, including the ones that only show up on real devices and real networks.
- Work with design, product, and the rest of engineering to figure out what’s worth building and what it should actually do.
- Help us make good decisions about testing, reliability, and how we handle anything that touches money.
What we’re looking for
- Strong fundamentals in at least one language, and the ability to pick up others quickly. We use Swift and SwiftUI on iOS and TypeScript on the backend, but we care far more that you can learn a stack than that you already know ours.
- Some experience building something real, whether that’s a personal project, an internship, or coursework you took further than required. We’d rather see one thing you shipped and can talk about in depth than a long list of technologies.
- The instinct to figure out why something is broken rather than trying fixes until one works.
- Ability to take an underspecified problem and ask the right questions before writing code.
- Comfort making decisions with incomplete information, and knowing when to ask instead.
- Interest in consumer products, marketplaces, gaming, collectibles, fintech, or e-commerce.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment with significant ownership.
What this job is actually like
You’ll ship to production early, likely in your first couple of weeks. You’ll work across most of the product rather than one corner of it, and you’ll have someone senior to learn from while you do. It moves quickly, the codebase is young, and you’ll have real influence over how things get built.
You do not need experience in collectibles or trading cards, or prior iOS experience if you’re a strong engineer elsewhere. We care much more about your ability to think critically, learn quickly, and build things that work.
For our interview process: Must have a US-based App Store account.
