Quizlet - San Francisco, CA.

Lead iOS engineer - we're looking for a person to lead the development of our iPhone and iPad apps.

We care deeply about education and do a lot of unique things to get in the minds of our users (16M uniques/mo, mostly high school and college kids).

- Every week we attend a different high school or middle school in the San Francisco area, where we test new features or ask for improvements. Everyone on the team attends.

- We personally respond to 1,200 feedback messages a week. Everyone on the team pitches in. It sounds hard but our tools are amazing for this

- We use our product a lot. Our team of ~12 combined knows about 10 languages, and groups of us are always taking classes or trying online learning tools. We take group tests (last week we all learned Sushi terms).

While I am still a student, I would love to give some feedback. I've found that when using your quiz feature, and you have to type the word or definition, you have to spell it correctly. I have found this as a huge problem when working with foreign languages, because I may not be used to spelling, so it count is wrong. If there is a way to implement some auto correct or spell check with words in the set, I would love that.
