Senior iOS SDK Engineer

Job title: Senior iOS SDK Engineer

Location: 100% REMOTE

Salary: $130-170k/year + EQUITY!

Requirements: SDKs/ frameworks, Apple platform knowledge, APIs, debugging

Founded by one of the Scopely founders (~$5B exit in 2023 with 8 #1 games including MonopolyGo, Scrabble, Yahtzee, and Star Trek), we are a growth-stage Series B startup that's modernizing full-stack observability. We're backed by NEA, YCombinator, Greycroft, the founders of Testflight, Parse, and PagerDuty, and executives from AppDynamics, MoPub, Doordash, and Uber.

We are the evolution of real-user monitoring (RUM) built on OpenTelemetry. Teams choose us because NO OTHER observability platforms are purpose built for frontend mobile and web teams while providing devops with the vital information they need to drive proactive & confident decisions. As we continue to grow, we need your help!

We're currently looking for a Senior iOS SDK Engineer to join our Mobile Observability team. This role focuses on building and maintaining a high-performance, open-source Swift SDK used across all Apple platforms. You'll work close to the OS to create instrumentation libraries for performance monitoring, telemetry, hang detection, and crash reporting, while collaborating with other platform teams and contributing to standards like OpenTelemetry.

What you'll be doing:

• Design, build, and maintain a modular Swift SDK used across all Apple platforms.
