Founding iOS Engineer
We are working with a startup building a next-gen, AI-native physical device. They are creating a new category of ambient hardware that turns daily real-world audio inputs into hyper-personalized, actionable user insights.
The Role
We are looking for a Founding iOS Engineer to build our client's core mobile framework from the ground up. This isn't a standard CRUD or lifestyle app - it serves as the central control layer for an external hardware device. You’ll be tackling complex engineering challenges around persistent background states, real-time data streaming over BLE, and heavy media processing pipelines.
What We’re Looking For
-
Experience: 3+ years of professional iOS experience, ideally with a background spanning early-stage startups and elite engineering teams
-
Deep Native Technical Chops: Mastery of the iOS SDK far beyond UI implementation. You should live and breathe app lifecycles, background execution, performance tuning, local persistence, networking, and App Store constraints.
-
Product Sensibility: An eye for fluid animations and micro-interactions, coupled with the high-autonomy drive needed to build a category-defining 0→1 product.
-
Logistics: Located in SF (in-person).
Comp & Equity
-
$180,000 - $250,000 base salary + up to 1% equity.
