WalmartLabs | Portland, Oregon | iOS Engineer | Onsite - Relocation Expenses Provided | $100k-160k + bonus + stock

I'm an architect at WalmartLabs and am looking for a few good iOS engineers to help us build our iPhone app. If working at scale in a small, startup-like environment gets you out of bed in the morning, you'll probably enjoy this gig - we're one of the most downloaded apps of all time, and we serve tens of millions of users a month.

We have a nice office in the heart of downtown Portland, and serve up the usual Silicon Valley style benefits: flexible hours, four weeks of PTO plus holidays, 401k, health care, free drinks and snacks, etc. Salary is highly competitive with Bay Area salaries, and you'll get to live in Portland, which has considerably lower overhead. If you're a good fit, we'll make it work for you.

Interested?

You might spell out 'Oregon' for anyone searching more broadly than Portland. OR, or even ", OR" generally turn up a lot of false positives.


Small, start-up like environment. At Wal-Mart, a Fortune-1 company. Think about it. (Also, having worked there ... um ... no. The place is worse than Oracle.)


Sorry you had a bad experience. I work in the Portland office and that hasn't been my experience at all. We have maybe 20-30 people and wide latitude over the projects we work on. Prior to this I had only worked in startups of 15 people or less. This experience has not been all that different for me, except that we're not constrained by resources. Our managers are former startup guys. It's honestly been great for me, to my initial surprise.


I've actually heard really positive things about Walmart Labs from the Node community.

They've even built and open sourced the popular framework hapi (http://hapijs.com).


Nearly every single one of those guys has left, and for very good reason. Ask around.


As usual, upvoting all the posts the list the salary range in the heading. I encourage others to do the same. #TalkPay ;)


Your email address is awesome. :)
