ALL ABOUT YOU

Skills: You are an iOS or Android engineer who can develop delightful mobile applications that communicate with connected products. At Punch Through, this goes beyond just turning specifications into code. As a design services company, we work with clients at all phases of the product life cycle. This means you will architect, implement, and otherwise contribute to challenging mobile software projects. Regardless of what you’re working on, it should be approached with careful consideration of engineering tradeoffs between technical fitness, scope, and schedule; in order to make decisions that best serve the client’s needs.

Communication: At Punch Through, we believe in transparency, not only as a company, but as an approach for working with clients. We value clear, honest, and frequent communication. As a mobile engineer, you will contribute to communication of technical details to client stakeholders on projects of all magnitudes.

Curiosity: We believe that if you aren’t curious about how the world works or you don’t challenge expectations, then you will never grow. Our team members relate with each other in large part due to our passion for learning and growing.

Independence: You’ll work as a contributor on challenging mobile software projects, so you must be motivated to operate and work independently. You will be expected to contribute to the implementation of mobile applications, with minimal guidance from team members or clients, and will have involvement with systems that can include components from web interfaces, app logic layers up to the app UI layer.

Collaboration: We know that when we work together, everything is better. At Punch Through, collaboration is our preferred approach. As a member of our team, you’ll work with teammates from a variety of disciplines to accomplish a range of tasks, from coordinating technical approach on a project with cross-discipline team members to interviewing and onboarding new team members or contributing to project proposals.

Growth: Be great today, be better tomorrow. One of the unifying characteristics of the Punch Through team is a drive for continuous personal improvement. As an engineer at Punch Through, you’ll work in an environment that leads to technical and non-technical growth, both organically through work and communication with others, as well as through a structured, focused approach. You will be expected to help develop less-experienced engineers through mentorship and guidance, while being open to learning new things yourself.

Part of creating this environment of growth is making sure people feel comfortable to ask questions and make mistakes. As such, all our engineers strive to be ego-free and focus on working together with the team and clients, not against. Punch Through is a place where people feel comfortable saying what’s on their mind. All team members are encouraged to share their thoughts, regardless of whether it is specifically related to their position. This includes contributing to the continuous improvement of best practices and processes within the software engineering team and participating in the growth of the overall company culture.
