Senior IOS Engineer at M1
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoel Mccance is a senior iOS engineer and pragmatic systems builder with 11 years of software experience and nearly nine focused on strongly typed backend systems in Scala and Kotlin. He moves comfortably between backend architecture and mobile delivery—currently at M1 after transitioning from staff backend roles—bringing a track record of extracting legacy monoliths into lightweight, observable microservices and automating multi-environment CI/CD on Kubernetes and Terraform. Joel emphasizes reliability, security, and observability in distributed systems, has led Kotlin adoption at SpotHero, and has implemented OAuth/OIDC integrations and real-time IoT pipelines. Based in Pittsburgh with a BA in Mathematics/Philosophy and additional CS training, he prefers statically typed languages and intentionally avoids work in Ruby, Python, and JavaScript, which speaks to a deliberate craft-centered career focus. An organizer of engineering practices, he pairs hands-on implementation with documentation and mentoring to foster distributed team effectiveness.
