• Own major product features from concept to launch
• Work closely with users and Customer Success to iterate quickly and ship improvements
• Contribute to the overall architecture and direction of our mobile and frontend platforms

What You'll Need

• 5+ years of professional iOS development experience
• Strong command of Swift, SwiftUI (iOS 16+), and UIKit
• Experience building polished, high-performance apps with a focus on great UX
• Comfortable working across concurrency, threading, and performance optimizations
• Excited about crafting elegant interfaces and reusable, testable components
• Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, high-ownership environments
• Passionate about building delightful AI-powered experiences

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS or Azure
• Experience deploying apps in an enterprise context (Microsoft Intune, enterprise App Store etc)
• Previous experience at a fast-growing startup
• Background at a design-forward product company (e.g. Notion, Figma)
• Strong interest in AI and how it can shape modern mobile workflows

Who You Are

• You thrive in fast-paced environments. You are high-intensity and care a lot about what you do, and you're ecstatic to work at a startup.
• You are ambitious. You have fun solving problems that others think are impossible.
• You are curious. You find joy in learning about AI, technology, and finance.
• You are an owner. You are autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable working with ambiguity.
• You are collaborative, organized, and thoughtful.
