Qualifications

  • 8+ years building and shipping interactive mobile (iOS) applications

  • Strong proficiency in Swift and complex interactive app development.

  • Deep experience in OS-level integrations such as media control or on-device ML

  • Experience in Python-based servers and the iOS Bluetooth stack are a plus
