Looking for a role where you'll have real ownership, direct impact, and the ability to shape both product and technical direction from day one? This is an opportunity to join a fast-moving startup building category-defining technology at the frontier of AI-powered creative tooling.
The company is a well-funded, venture-backed startup with a large and rapidly growing consumer user base. They’re expanding their iOS team to help architect and scale core systems, improve rich interactive experiences, and build new features that make complex creative workflows feel simple and fun.
You'll sit at the intersection of infrastructure, product, and user experience, turning complex, dynamic interactions into fluid, performant mobile interfaces. Expect meaningful ownership over client-side architecture, animations, performance, and end-to-end feature delivery across a product that’s evolving quickly.
You’ll work closely with the founding and product teams, shipping directly to production, iterating fast, and laying down the foundations that the wider iOS team will build on. It’s a high-autonomy environment, ideal for someone who thrives in fast feedback loops and wants to see their work used immediately by real users.
This is a chance to build at the edge of applied AI and interactive media and help define the technical trajectory of an industry leading organisation.
The Role
- Design and build a polished, high-performance iOS app for creative, content-driven experiences
- Develop core frameworks and abstractions for responsive, highly interactive interfaces
- Own key architectural decisions around rendering, animations, and performance optimisation
- Partner with design and product on the overall app experience, from flows to interaction details
- Collaborate closely with the founding team to deliver features that are quickly adopted by a large user base
The Person
- Strong experience shipping production iOS applications at leading consumer-facing tech companies.
- Deep proficiency in Swift, with strong experience across SwiftUI and UIKit
- Proven track record building smooth, delightful animations and micro-interactions from design prototypes
- Experience with an early stage startup
