This is a great opportunity to specify the technological direction, user experience, engineering standards, and architecture of a new native iOS app at a firm with significant product complexity, real scale, and tremendous momentum. They are not looking for a person to just implement tickets, rather they need an engineer with a product mindset, engineering prowess, high standards when it comes to craft – in other words they need someone to help them define what mobile should be at the company for years to come.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own the iOS app end-to-end across core marketplace flows

  • Collaborate closely with Product and Design to create mobile experiences that are user-friendly, polished, reliable, and meticulously detailed
  • Help define their mobile app strategy, including where mobile should lead, how it should differentiate from web, and where it can create the most leverage for the business
  • Working closely with other tech teams (Product, Design, Back-End, Data) and the company leadership team

Requirements:

  • Several years building production iOS applications with meaningful consumer-facing scale, quality, and complexity
  • Strong command of Swift and modern iOS development patterns
  • Experience building polished native experiences with strong attention to performance, usability, animation, responsiveness, and edge cases
  • You have led a sizable iOS codebase and had an impact on architectural choices
  • You care deeply about product quality and can translate complex states and workflows into simple, elegant user experiences
  • You feel at ease collaborating closely with backend engineers on systems tradeoffs, data contracts, and APIs
  • You are energized by zero-to-one work and want real ownership, not a narrow lane
  • Ideally, you've worked on high-quality consumer products at top engineering organizations or elite startups where the bar for craft and execution is exceptionally high
