Senior iOS Engineer
Description
Cookpad is the world’s largest recipe sharing platform where almost 100 million global users come to enjoy cooking each month in 18+ languages.
We believe we can build a better world through encouraging even more people to cook. Everyday, home cooking has a profound impact on ourselves and the world around us: it makes us healthier and connects us with our friends and family. Through solving the problems related to everyday cooking, we help people live happier and healthier lives in an environment that is more sustainable. That’s how we want to change the world.
People join us because they share our vision to improve people’s lives.
