Who We Are
We started our company to help others launch and run their own businesses, at any stage. The way we help is by keeping it simple and supporting entrepreneurs one step at a time.

If the idea of helping people and working with a genuinely caring, supportive team excites you, then you’ve come to the right place.
The Role
We’re hiring a Staff Software Engineer, iOS for our Native Mobile team. In this role, you’ll take ownership of our iOS app across all phases of product development. You’ll lead iOS architecture and roadmap delivery and set and enforce engineering standards. You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, your Android counterparts, and cross-functional engineering teams to ship high-quality mobile experiences that align with our vision.
This role is ideal for a leader who combines high autonomy with cross-team influence—mentors others, leads design reviews, communicates clearly, and embodies a sense of ownership.
Responsibilities
-
Own iOS technical strategy & delivery: architecture, modularization, multi-module coordination, and a release every two weeks.
-
Collaborate with product and design teams to define requirements, scope, acceptance criteria, and execute on the delivery of new features and improvements.
-
Evolve the development environment to keep up with modern Swift/SwiftUI and iOS releases and maintain build and CI/CD health (Bitrise, TestFlight).
-
Partner cross-platform to ensure parity and consistency between iOS and Android in both experience and patterns/conventions.
-
Shape GraphQL integrations: collaborate on schema design and implementation in BFF, and integration into the iOS app.
-
Raise the quality bar by setting and enforcing iOS development standards for code quality/patterns, performance, and security.
-
Mentor and influence engineers by leading knowledge-sharing efforts, running design/code reviews, and driving cross-team initiatives.
Qualifications
Must-Have:
-
Proven Staff/Lead impact owning iOS architecture and multi-team delivery for complex consumer apps.
-
Deep fluency in modern iOS development: Swift 6+, SwiftUI, async/await & structured concurrency, Combine, MVVM with unidirectional data flow, DI with FactoryKit/Resolver/Swinject, multi-module clean architecture.
-
Testing depth across unit, integration, and UI (XCTest, Cuckoo/Mockingbird, deterministic async & Combine testing).
-
Operational excellence experience: instrumentation/observability (e.g., Sentry, logs/metrics), reliability ownership, and security best practices (Keychain/Auth0).
-
Experience collaborating on backend-for-frontend (BFF) design and consumption for mobile.
-
Strong GraphQL experience on iOS (typed queries/fragments; custom client); exposure to Fastify + Mercurius for BFF development is a plus.
-
-
Experience with XcodeGen at scale and SPM dependency management.
-
Hands-on iOS CI/CD (Bitrise), TestFlight multi-track releases, and App Store release management.
-
Excellent written and verbal communication; adept at asynchronous collaboration across distributed teams.
-
Experience with the latest AI-assisted software development tools and responsible usage.
-
Bias for ownership and pragmatic delivery; comfortable with ambiguity and accountable to measurable outcomes.
Nice-to-Have:
-
Comfortable reading and contributing to Android codebase (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose).
-
Experience collaborating in a fully remote team across different time zones.
