Senior iOS Developer

Today Vandil is an AI-native law firm, built from the ground up to dominate the fastest-growing legal market: AI and privacy regulation.

We're not just another law firm bolting on AI tools. We're an AI company that also practices law. From our client portal to our predictive regulatory intelligence, we're building an entirely new legal operating system — one that helps organisations confidently adopt the latest technology and stay ahead of regulators, not react to them.

At Vandil, we hire people who are naturally curious — the kind of people who don't wait to be told what to learn. We believe the future of legal technology will be built by people who go deep, not just broad. Whether that means mastering new frameworks, diving into emerging AI capabilities, or obsessing over the details of a great user experience, we actively encourage our team to push the boundaries of what they know.

If you're someone who builds side projects on weekends, follows the latest Swift releases for fun, or can't stop asking "what if?" — you'll feel at home here.

We ship fast, we think big, and we're building something that hasn't existed before. If you're ready to help define the future of law — not just participate in it — we'd love to hear from you.

Vandil is an AI-native law firm building a new kind of legal operating system. We're looking for an iOS developer based in Jakarta to join us on a part-time, contract basis — someone who takes pride in clean, well-crafted mobile experiences and wants to be part of something being built from the ground up.

This is a foundational role. You'll work closely with our founder to build and iterate on the client-facing iOS application that sits at the heart of our platform — the interface through which our clients access legal intelligence, track compliance obligations, and engage with our team.

You'll own the iOS side of our platform: building and shipping features in Swift, integrating with our Firebase/GCP backend, and maintaining a clean and performant codebase as the product evolves. You'll work closely with our web team to ensure a consistent experience across platforms, and you'll have a genuine say in how the product is designed and built. As the platform grows, there's scope to take on broader responsibility — including mentoring future hires and shaping our mobile architecture.

You have at least 3 years of professional iOS development experience, with a strong command of Swift and the UIKit/SwiftUI ecosystem. You're comfortable consuming REST APIs and working with real-time data — experience with Firebase (Firestore, Auth, Cloud Functions) is a strong advantage. You write code that's readable, testable, and maintainable, and you understand what it means to ship production software that real users depend on.

You're comfortable working independently and remotely. You can manage your own workload without hand-holding, meet delivery commitments, and communicate clearly across time zones. You care about the quality of what you ship, not just getting it done.

You're based in Jakarta. While the role is fully remote, we're specifically looking for someone in Jakarta for this engagement.

This is a part-time, contract engagement to begin with. Hours and scope will flex around client demand and delivery milestones — we’re not looking for someone to clock in and out, we’re looking for someone who can deliver. Work is fully remote.

Vandil is an equal opportunity employer. We believe that building the future of legal technology requires diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. We welcome and encourage applications from everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law. If you need any accommodations during the application or interview process, please let us know — we’re happy to help.
