What You’ll Do

  • Build high-performance, scalable mobile applications from scratch, using Swift, benefit from AI enablement.
  • Architect the mobile experience for a brand-new project, owning the entire lifecycle from coding to production deployment.

  • Lead the technical standard through rigorous code reviews and weekly syncs to drive priority and speed.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of heavy-hitting experience in mobile and software development.
  • Expert Stack: Deep mastery of Swift.
  • AI Enabled: you had deep expertise deploying agents to do the heavy lifting, focussing on system design, architecture and deep technical topics.

  • Objective-C.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • A high-ownership builder with an intense, intrinsic motivation to win.
  • A solution-driven engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, non-9-to-5 startup culture.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and a high bar for quality.
  • Product-minded: you care about impact, not just code.
  • A clear communicator in English, both written and spoken.
