Responsibilities

The open position is for the role of Staff IOS Mobile SDK Engineer. The mobile SDK team focuses on developing Sentiance’s SDKs for IOS and Android, plus other cross platform mobile development frameworks, like React Native and Flutter. Unlike a traditional app, SDK development focuses on collecting various kinds of sensor data from the device, and efficiently processing them in the background, to produce meaningful insights on the device. This requires solid understanding of the architecture and inner workings of the mobile operating system, and the APIs that it offers. The mobile SDK team works closely with data scientists to deploy AI/ML models into the SDK/device.
