Bluebeam provides construction software for innovators, helping architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams connect office and field with a reliable, easily accessible single source of truth. Trusted by over 4 million professionals worldwide, Bluebeam enables users to mark up PDFs, build custom workflows, and collaborate in real time from anywhere on desktop, web browser, or mobile device. The company has been an industry standard for over 20 years.
Bluebeam offers mobile apps that allow construction professionals to access project information, mark up drawings, collaborate in real time, and communicate project information from the office or the field. The iOS engineering team builds and maintains features for PDF rendering and markup (measurement tools, annotations, comments), real-time synchronization with Bluebeam Studio (cloud-based collaboration), offline access for field work (no internet connection required), custom workflow automation, integration with third-party tools via APIs, and self-serve licensing and reporting.
Mobile development in this context focuses on high-performance PDF rendering (custom renderers or PDFKit), touch-based markup tools (drawing, highlighting, measuring), real-time data synchronization (WebSockets or similar), offline-first architecture (local storage with sync queue), file management (import/export from cloud storage: Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive), custom gesture recognition (multitouch for zoom, pan, rotate), accessibility compliance (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type), and enterprise security (encryption, SSO, MDM integration).
An AEC technology company like Bluebeam hires:
These roles focus on building high-performance iOS applications for construction professionals working in challenging field environments (unreliable internet, bright sunlight for screen readability, gloves for touch input), delivering real-time collaboration on complex PDF documents (hundreds of pages, large file sizes), providing precise measurement and markup tools for construction workflows, and enabling seamless sync between office and field.
