Exceptional communication, self-motivation, adaptability, and the ability to inspire and lead a distributed team are standout soft skills. These skills and qualifications are vital to successfully launch, manage, and scale a business in a remote environment where clear direction and effective collaboration are crucial.

What Are Remote Jobs Working for Startups?

Remote startup jobs exist in various industries. The duties of these virtual positions vary but typically involve taking part in the development of processes, products, and services for a new business. Since these are virtual positions, you handle your responsibilities over the internet. As a software developer at a startup, you may code and test products or create internal programs that a startup can use on their computer network. As a graphic designer, you may create various images and visual elements for the website and/or product packaging. Startups also need remote business development specialists and accountants to create a development plan, make decisions, and handle the company’s finances.

What is a remote startup?

A remote startup is a newly established company where the founders and employees work from different locations, rather than from a central office. These startups leverage digital tools and online platforms to communicate, collaborate, and manage projects remotely. This model allows for greater flexibility, access to a global talent pool, and reduced operational costs. However, it also presents challenges in communication, team cohesion, and time zone coordination. Remote startups have become increasingly popular, especially in the tech industry, due to advancements in remote work technology.

Covenant Eyes

Owosso, MI • On-site, Remote

$46.50 - $64/hr

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Retirement, PTO

Posted 22 days ago


Job description

Working at Covenant Eyes is about more than just shipping software; it’s about fueling a movement and changing culture. When you log in every day, you are directly contributing to saving marriages, protecting children, and fighting sexual exploitation. We are a team united by a desire to provide world-class accountability and restore relationships.

We are a 100% Employee-Owned company. That means our success is your success. We have a consistent track record of national recognition for our growth and business performance. This stability allows us to offer opportunities for career advancement and exposure to emerging technologies without the volatility of a typical startup.

We believe in hard work, but we prioritize people. We know that your most important job isn't the one you do for us—it is your role as a parent, spouse, and community member. We champion a "Family First" culture that respects your time and embraces a healthy work-life rhythm.

We offer a highly competitive compensation package that supports you from the moment you start.

  • Health & Wellness: Comprehensive Medical, Vision, and Dental insurance (Active on Day 1).

  • Financial Future: 401(k) with company matching plus the long-term benefit of being an Employee Owner.

  • Time Away: Generous PTO policy, flexible work hours to accommodate life’s needs, and we even pay you to take your Birthday off!

  • Distributed Team Mindset: While we are based in Michigan, we are fully equipped to support remote team members while maintaining a close-knit, collaborative atmosphere.

We do exciting stuff—the kind of stuff that doesn't have a playbook yet. If you’re interested in adding R&D and Greenfield builds to your work, let’s talk. We need people who are comfortable in the 'weird' phase of development and have the guts to try things that haven't been done before.


  • Collaborate with Product and Designers to translate high-level requirements into robust iOS architectures. You won't just build tickets; you’ll help define the "how" and "why" behind our mobile strategy.
  • Work closely with Backend and QA teams to design resilient APIs and integration points, ensuring our native apps communicate efficiently with our core infrastructure.
  • Uphold and evolve our coding standards. You will champion clean architecture, conduct meaningful code reviews, and ensure the codebase remains maintainable and scalable.
  • Write high-performance, testable code for our core application. You will handle complex challenges ranging from UI responsiveness to low-level network packet handling.

As an experienced iOS Developer, we're not just looking for someone that can make good iOS apps.  We want someone that has a deep understanding of the platform that can do more than just contribute but also help drive innovation to provide world-class accountability for our Members.  We want someone with an eye for architecture and good general development practices.   

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or closely related field) or equivalent work experience.
  • 5+ years of professional iOS development experience.
  • Strong command of SwiftUI.
  • Experience with deeper layers of the iOS stack (e.g. Network Extensions, VPN configurations, MDM/Config Profiles, Image Processing, among others).
  • Experience designing scalable apps using architectural patterns (things like MVVM-C, VIPER, or TCA).
  • A strong background in Unit Testing and UI Testing.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Fastlane, GitHub Actions, Xcode Cloud).
  • Exceptional written communication.

Would also be great if you had:

  • Deep understanding of Swift (including async/await and Actors), Objective-C, and C++ (highly valued).
  • Experience navigating Apple’s Entitlements, Privacy Manifests, and App Review guidelines.
  • Contributions to open-source projects or a portfolio of apps in the App Store.
  • Experience coaching and mentoring junior developers.

This position is offered as a full-time distributed (remote) position, and we are flexible in our work-day, but it is our company expectation that you would be available to your team most of the work day for best collaboration.  Covenant Eyes is located in the Eastern Time Zone as are most of the staff.  Thus, maintaining consistent overlap with a core of 10am to 4pm Eastern time would be expected.
