Description

Our Mission: ButterflyMX is on a mission to empower people to open and manage doors & gates from a smartphone. Our products are installed in more than 20,000+ multifamily, commercial, gated communities, and student-housing properties worldwide, including properties developed, owned, and managed by the most trusted names in real estate. Our features are designed for developers, owners, property managers, and tenants and our products lower operating costs and improve tenant satisfaction. Our Solution: Developers and owners no longer need to run building wiring or install in-unit hardware. Property managers can grant building access, revoke permissions, and review entry logs from an online dashboard. Residents can open doors from their smartphones, issue visitor access, and see who is trying to enter the building. Our Culture & Values: Fantastic people are the key to our success. As a distributed, primarily remote workforce, we’re looking for more intelligent, passionate, collaborative, ai-forward, and down-to-earth individuals to join our growing team. We’re driven by a shared commitment to excellence and innovation, grounded in our core values: We delight our customers, We take ownership, We are a community of collaborators, We speak up, We think big and do small, and We are tenacious.

Collaborate with product management, UX, and cross-functional teams to provide engineering trade-offs and solutions to customer challenges. Participate in agile processes to deliver high-quality software iteratively. Read and understand Swift/iOS codebases, draw analogies between Android and iOS frameworks, and evaluate platform-specific capabilities and limitations. Mentor, guide, and manage the performance of team members, setting clear goals, providing constructive feedback, and promoting professional growth. Leverage AI tools to improve the efficiency of your own work and drive adoption of AI-assisted workflows across the team. Requirements Proficient in Kotlin and familiar with at least one other programming language. Strong experience with the full software development lifecycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control, build processes, testing, and operations.
