Founding iOS Engineer

Founding iOS Engineer

Full-Time | On-Site | New York City (Chelsea)
Salary: $180,000 – $240,000 + 0.5% – 1.5% Equity

About the Company

Our client is building an accountability protocol — a new consumer primitive that introduces financial stakes into personal goal achievement.

The company recently achieved a significant regulatory milestone, enabling launch in 46 states from day one. After months of close collaboration with regulatory counsel, they’ve established infrastructure and positioning that creates real defensibility and meaningful barriers to entry.

Backed by top-tier investors and led by founders with backgrounds at Apple, Google, and leading venture firms, the team is small (4 people), technical, and execution-focused.

The Opportunity

This is a true founding engineer role. You will build the native iOS product from the ground up and help define the technical and product direction of the company.

You are not joining to maintain features. You are joining to create the category.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and ship high-quality, production-grade Swift code

• Build a fast, elegant, consumer-facing native iOS app from early stage to scale

• Own large parts of the product end-to-end

• Collaborate directly with the cofounders on product and technical direction

• Contribute to backend/API design to support clean and scalable interactions

• Operate with autonomy in a zero-to-one environment
