About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at a Y Combinator–backed wearable AI startup building a consumer device that reads and interprets emotional states in real time. You'll own the companion iOS app end-to-end — the primary touchpoint between sophisticated AI inference technology and the people who use it. As an early team member, you'll have real ownership and a direct hand in shaping the product as the company scales.

- Translate emotional-state outputs from an AI inference model into intuitive, meaningful app interfaces.

What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of professional iOS development experience with Swift, and a proven track record of shipping production-ready consumer iOS apps.
- Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of mobile features from concept through release and ongoing maintenance.
- Strong full-stack capabilities including backend API integration — authentication, data sync, and data modelling.
- Experience surfacing machine learning or AI model outputs within a mobile app UX.
- Ability to deliver polished, performant UI/UX with a strong eye for consumer-grade design.
- Strong CS fundamentals and comfort making autonomous technical decisions as a founding engineer.
- Able to work across time zones; comfort collaborating with a distributed team.
- Work authorization in the UK or US required — visa transfers may be considered, but new sponsorship is not available.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary of $150,000 USD (or approximately £75,000 GBP for the London office). Meaningful equity stake offered as a founding team member. No new visa sponsorship; visa transfers may be considered.
