iOS Engineer

FOUND is recruiting for an unnamed startup that builds an all-in-one platform for live-experience businesses. The Senior iOS Engineer will own its consumer and staff iOS apps, build new app features, and ensure reliable releases and performance during live events.

Responsibilities:

• What you'll own: Build and ship features in our native Swift/UIKit consumer app, from discovery and booking to checkout and tickets
• Own the door-staff and iPad apps: guest check-in, ticket scanning, table and floor workflows, and receipt printing
• Build and evolve our App Clip for fast, no-install booking and payment
• Integrate payments (Stripe), maps (Google Maps/Places), push notifications and Firebase Remote Config
• Help build the next-generation consumer app and bring AI-powered features to it
• Make apps fast and reliable under live-event load, including offline and low-connectivity states at the door
• Work with backend engineers on REST and Socket.IO APIs for real-time updates
• Own release quality: testing, crash monitoring (Crashlytics, Sentry), CI/CD with Codemagic and TestFlight/Firebase distribution

Requirements:

• BS in Computer Science or a related engineering field
• 5+ years of professional iOS development, including 2+ years at a senior level on apps shipped to the App Store
• Deep expertise in Swift and UIKit, with a strong grasp of iOS architecture patterns, concurrency and memory management
• Experience integrating payments (Stripe or Apple Pay), push notifications and third-party SDKs
• Comfort consuming REST APIs and real-time data (WebSockets/Socket.IO)
• Experience owning the release cycle: TestFlight, App Store review, crash monitoring and CI/CD
• Experience on a multi-product platform, ideally with apps for both consumers and staff/operators
• Clear, direct communication and comfort working with clients and non-engineers
• App Clips, iPad workflows, or hardware integrations such as receipt printers and barcode/QR scanning
• SwiftUI alongside UIKit
• Background in reservations, hospitality, restaurant tech, POS, payments or ticketing
• Full stack exposure — TypeScript/Node.js (NestJS) or React/Next.js
• Android/Kotlin experience
• Building offline-first features for low-connectivity environments
• Experience shipping AI/LLM-powered features in mobile apps
