We are looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to help shape the architecture, reliability, and performance of our SDK, which powers mission-critical experiences for some of the largest FinTechs in the world.

You will work across the entire lifecycle of our iOS SDK, from design to release. This includes shaping how we profile performance, how we catch issues before they ship, how we test our public APIs, and how we produce documentation that makes our SDK easy to integrate.

- Participate in cross-team technical planning and represent the platform’s needs

- Evangelize the SDK and help educate teams on its capabilities and usage

- Contribute to building an engineering culture rooted in clarity, ownership, and thoughtful design

What you’ll need to get the job done

- Strong debugging skills and proficiency with native profiling tools

- Deep understanding of memory allocation, leaks, CPU usage, and asynchronous patterns

- Experience building asynchronous and multithreaded architectures

- Ability to design, validate, and document public SDK APIs

- Strong unit testing mindset and experience uncovering failure modes and edge cases

- Familiarity with mobile CI/CD pipelines and the desire to improve them

- Comfortable executing thorough QA validation prior to releases

- Clear and effective communication with cross-functional teams

- Experience writing and debugging UI automation tests

- Familiarity with feature flagging and controlled rollout strategies

iOS Specific Skills

- Deep experience with WKWebView including navigation, messaging, resource handling, and hybrid debugging

- Proficiency with Swift and Swift Concurrency

- Experience with ARC, Instruments, and iOS frameworks

- Experience building and maintaining frameworks or Swift Packages

- Familiarity with Xcode build tooling and performance optimization

What we offer

- Interesting and challenging work

- Competitive base salary + up to 20% annual bonus + generous early employee equity + benefits

- 100% medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage for you and your dependents (U.S.)

- Unlimited PTO

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
