Founding iOS Engineer job in New York

We are hiring a Founding iOS Engineer to build the next-generation ResortPass iOS experience from the ground up. This role will lead the transition to a fully native iOS application, built from scratch. This is a true zero-to-one opportunity. Requirements will initially be ambiguous. The design system is not yet defined. You must operate independently, make strong architectural decisions, and shape both product and engineering direction. This is not a ticket-execution role. We are looking for strong product instincts, excellent engineering judgment, and a high bar for craft. Mobile must be a differentiated experience - not a thin client of the web. You will work closely with Product, Design, Backend, Data, and Leadership, and over time help build the iOS function and engineering culture.

5+ years building production iOS applications

Ideal Candidate Profile

Product-minded engineer (not just execution-focused)
