Full description

Company:

SimpleStudy is a consumer AI platform for students. We help them stay motivated to study their subjects - everything from Biology and Mathematics to Literature and Art.

Our small team has already helped +1.5 M students worldwide (UK, Ireland, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia) study better, and ~40–50k new students join us every week.

We are a remote team with a Lisbon office, having recently raised ~$4M seed round with incredible investors from Strava, OpenAI, and Meta.

Responsibilities and key results:

  • Partner directly with Affan (engineering manager) on engineering strategy and with Oisin (founder) on product direction where mobile intersects with growth, onboarding, and retention
  • Drive native-feel polish: smooth animations, responsive interactions, platform-specific conventions (iOS/Android)
  • Work in a PLG/A/B testing environment — ship features, instrument, measure impact, iterate fast
  • Own app store presence and release cadence — versioning, store optimization, crash/performance monitoring
  • Potentially help grow a dedicated mobile team as the app becomes a bigger part of the business

Requirements:

  • At least 5 years of experience with native iOS development
  • Strong experience leading and mentoring engineering teams

  • Portugal relocation sponsorship possible
  • Salary: no fixed budget. Flexible.
