iOS Engineer

Applico is the world's first Platform Innovation company that helps clients design, define, and develop platform projects. From founding CEO Alex Moazed & Head of Platform Nick Johnson’s book Modern Monopolies, we’ve built a culture of think tank meets ex-startup operators who’ve had a track record of exits.

So what’s it like to be an iOS Engineer on the Applico team? That’s a good question! At Applico, we are both thinkers and doers. We bring together an eclectic combination of disciplines across our company with the goal of such diversity embodying the ultimate “team.”

Every person in the company is an expert of something. That individual subject matter expertise enables Applico, as a whole, to be the platform experts our clients need and trust. What do you want to be an expert of?
