Artificial Intelligence Code Review Software Engineering Objective C++

Job description

  • Join a rare environment - you will work with ambitious high-speed, high-ownership people.
  • Fully present - we’re 5 days a week in the office to build the energising momentum we need.

We’re launching our next big bet to revolutionize AdTech after the massive success of Freecash.com. As our Founding Mobile Engineer for this project, you’ll own the entire mobile architecture and build this product-and the team-from the ground up.

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.
  • Optimize system responsiveness and performance while managing external services for split-testing and feature flagging.
  • 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.
  • SDK knowledge: you have developed or implemented SDK’s yourself.

Bonus

  • Background in the AdTech space.
  • 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.
