> Build and ship innovative iOS experiences that blend AI, LLMs, and conversational UX into an intelligent travel companion app. Requires 5+ years Swift/iOS experience, strong architecture and concurrency skills, and familiarity with LLM-driven features.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do

- Design and ship innovative UX patterns for conversational interfaces and AI-driven experiences on iOS
- Architect and build Swift-first, production grade features using async/await, structured concurrency and modern iOS APIs
- Lead implementation of context-aware experiences using behavior, preferences, and app state with an emphasis on performance and privacy
- Use metrics, experimentation, and validation (analytics, A/B tests, logging) to iterate on features and improve quality over time
- Turn complex AI/ML capabilities into simple, intuitive mobile interactions
- Use AI tools (e.g., Claude Code / LLM‑based coding assistants) to accelerate development while maintaining a high‑quality, well‑tested codebase
- Collaborate across product, design, and backend in a fast-moving environment

## What We're Looking For

- 5+ years of professional development experience with strong Swift skills, building high quality iOS apps
- Deep understanding of Swift and the iOS SDK, including:
  - Swift concurrency (async/await, Task, actors), structured concurrency, and modern GCD usage
  - SwiftUI for building production UIs; familiarity with UIKit and interoperability is a plus
  - Experience with Combine or other reactive patterns, and when to prefer them vs. async/await
- Strong grasp of iOS architecture (e.g., MVVM, Clean Architecture, modularization) suitable for AI‑powered, stateful, and real‑time features
- Solid understanding of JSON, REST, WebSockets, streaming APIs and robust networking layers (error handling, retries, offline support)
- Experience with offline storage, background processing, threading and push notifications
- Curiosity about new interaction models (chat, agents, multimodal UI, etc.)
- Experience using AI development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) as part of your workflow, with good judgment about code quality and security
- Familiarity with LLM‑driven features (prompt design, integrating LLM APIs, handling latency, fallbacks, guardrails) and/or conversational UX
- Track record building consumer‑facing apps; ideally you’ve shipped to the App Store and iterated from user feedback and metrics
- BS in Computer Science or related technical field
