Description
We're assisting an established Series B startup with their search for a founding iOS engineer to build their new iOS app (replacing a cross-platform app). Their product allows customers to access luxury hotel amenities for the day without having to book a room. The role will work onsite in the NY office M-T and remotely on Fridays.
What you'll do:
- Build a high-quality native iOS application spanning discovery, booking, account management, and post-booking experiences.
- Define the app's architecture, quality standards, and release practices from day one.
- Partner with Product and Design to shape mobile product direction—not simply execute predefined requirements.
- Collaborate closely with Backend engineers to create fast, resilient APIs and mobile experiences.
- Improve application performance, stability, and instrumentation to support rapid product iteration.
- Establish the long-term iOS strategy, including technical direction, team development, and engineering culture.
What you'll bring:
- 5+ years of experience building production iOS applications with consumer-facing scale, quality, and complexity.
- Strong command of Swift and modern iOS development patterns.
- Experience building polished native mobile experiences, with a strong understanding of performance, usability, animation, and edge cases.
- Experience leading or significantly influencing architecture decisions for a substantial iOS codebase.
- Comfortable collaborating with backend engineers on APIs, data contracts, and system-level tradeoffs.
- Strong engineering judgment and the ability to make effective decisions in an ambiguous, zero-to-one environment.
- Strong product instincts and a high bar for quality and craft.
