ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for a world-class Lead iOS Mobile Developerto own the architecture, velocity, and polish of our iOS app. You’ll lead development from the ground up—shipping fast, iterating daily, and building products that feel magical. This is not a “maintenance” role. This is a “build what doesn’t exist yet” role. You’ll work closely with the founder, design, backend, and AI teams to ship features that combine AI + video + commerce at a speed that feels unfair to competitors. You’ll guide technical decisions, elevate code quality, and ensure the app remains lightning-fast, stable, beautiful, and scalable. If you love owning the entire iOS stack, obsess over UX details, and crave building category-defining mobile products, you’ll thrive here.

Move fast. Ship fast. Improve constantly. What You Bring • 5+ years of experience building and shipping Swift iOS apps end-to-end. • Expertise in SwiftUI, UIKit, AI, ML, Camera, Combine, async/await, concurrency, and modern Apple frameworks. • Strong experience with video, camera frameworks, image processing, or real-time uploads. • Experience integrating payment flows like Apple Pay / Stripe. • Strong sense of UX, animations, and building interfaces that “feel alive.” • Deep knowledge of App Store guidelines, TestFlight workflow, provisioning, and release cycles. • Ability to write clean, maintainable, scalable code with strong architecture patterns (MVVM, etc). • Experience with CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Fastlane, or automated build pipelines. • Comfortable working in a high-speed, high-ambiguity startup environment. Bonus Points • Experience with AI / ML workflows, Whisper, Vision APIs, or Generative AI integrations. • Experience building marketplaces, social apps, or short-form video apps. • Background leading a small team or mentoring rising developers. • Exposure to geospatial/location APIs (MapKit, CoreLocation, routing, etc). • Experience with app performance profiling and debugging memory leaks. Why Join Us • Build a category-defining product at the earliest stage—your fingerprints will be on everything. • Work directly with the founder and early team to shape the roadmap, features, and technical direction. • Ship fast, iterate constantly, and build things people use every single day. • A culture that values speed, creativity, autonomy, and very high standards. • Competitive comp + meaningful equity.
