iOS Developer

About the company

A next-gen matchmaking startup founded by a UC Berkeley grad and a world-famous matchmaker with her own Netflix show. We’re building a premium, design-forward mobile experience that helps people form meaningful connections—fast.

Role

We’re looking for an iOS product builder who ships quickly, sweats the details, and has elite taste in UX/design. You’ll own core app surfaces end-to-end—from prototype to App Store launch—and iteratively improve them with data and user feedback.

What you’ll do

• Own iOS features end-to-end: scoping, architecture, implementation, QA, release, and iteration.
• Translate product briefs and Figma into pixel-perfect, buttery-smooth Swift/SwiftUI interfaces.
• Build performant, reliable client code: modern concurrency, offline-first patterns, and clean modular architecture.
• Integrate APIs (REST/GraphQL), analytics, push notifications, in-app purchases, and experiments (A/B tests).
• Set up & evolve CI/CD, TestFlight, crash/metric monitoring, and release notes discipline.
• Collaborate tightly with founders, design, and backend to ship weekly.

Must-haves

• 2+ years of professional iOS experience.
• Shipped at least 2 iOS products to the App Store (please include links and what you owned).
• Deep fluency with Swift and SwiftUI (comfortable with UIKit interop when needed).
• A strong product/design sensibility: motion, typography, spacing, and micro-interactions matter to you.
• Evidence of speed + quality (GitHub, TestFlight, portfolio, or App Store changelogs).
• Solid grasp of async/await, structured concurrency, dependency injection, and testing (XCTest).
• Experience with analytics/crash tooling (Firebase/Amplitude/Sentry) and feature flagging.

Nice-to-haves

• Payments/subscriptions (StoreKit 2), sign-in flows (Sign in with Apple), deep links & universal links.
• Realtime features (WebSockets), local persistence (Core Data/SQLite), background tasks, notifications.
• Security & privacy best practices (Keychain, sensitive logging hygiene).
• Startup/0→1 experience; comfort with ambiguity and rapid iteration.

Tech stack (typical)

• Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit (where pragmatic), Combine/async-await, StoreKit 2, URLSession/Alamofire, GraphQL/REST, Core Data, Firebase/Amplitude, Sentry/Crashlytics, Fastlane, GitHub Actions, TestFlight.

How we measure success

• Time-to-first-ship on new features.
• App performance (startup time, scroll FPS), crash-free sessions, and App Store rating.
• Experiment velocity and impact on activation, retention, and subscription conversion.
