A rare chance to build something from zero to one. We’re looking for a Founding iOS Engineer to take full ownership of a new native app for a fast-scaling consumer platform already seeing real traction.

The Company
You’ll be joining a well-funded platform redefining access to premium experiences. Already operating at scale with a global footprint and strong product–market fit, it’s now expanding into new markets and verticals.

The team is small, sharp, and highly trusted, backed by experienced investors and operators. Close to profitability and moving with focus, this is a place where engineering shapes both product and direction.

What You'll Do
  • Build a native iOS app from scratch.
  • Own end-to-end mobile development and delivery.
  • Ship high-performance, polished user experiences.
  • Collaborate across Product, Design, Backend, and Data.
  • Shape long-term mobile strategy and scalability.
The Candidate
We’re looking for an experienced iOS engineer who thrives in zero-to-one environments and is comfortable taking full ownership of a product.
  • 5+ years building scalable iOS apps.
  • Strong Swift and modern iOS expertise.
  • Confident owning architecture decisions.
  • Product-focused with high attention to detail.
  • Comfortable across APIs, trade-offs, and collaboration.
Nice to have:
  • SwiftUI and UIKit experience.
  • Backend exposure (e.g. Node.js, Rails).
  • Familiar with AWS, observability, and CI/CD.
  • Experience with testing (e.g. XCTest).
The Offer
  • Highly competitive salary plus meaningful equity upside.
  • Founding role with full ownership and zero legacy constraints.
  • Direct line to leadership, real product influence.
  • Front-row seat to global expansion and new verticals.
  • High-impact work with clear ownership and visibility.
For engineers who want real ownership, autonomy, and to build something lasting, this is it.
