Founding iOS Engineer

5 - 10 years of experience building user-facing iOS applications with real production usage, strong polish and taste, or in true early- stage environments

Owned end-to-end development of an iOS app with strong polish and taste (e.g., Robin Hood, Spotify) or built an app from scratch as a founding iOS engineer

Ideally a mix of both Big Tech & startup experience and has demonstrated strong progression throughout (e.g., promotions)

Experience at a high-growth VC-backed startup or best-in-class iOS org (e.g., Apple)

CS or other technical degree from a top 30 university

Deep proficiency in Swift and modern iOS frameworks (UIKit and/or SwiftUI)

Shipped 0 to 1 apps with modular architecture and scalable abstractions

Highly customer- and product- centric thinking (e.g., asks good questions about the product, can explain what problem they were solving for which user group)

Strong communication skills, clear product and design intuition, and opinionated on modern mobile architecture, patterns, and best practices

Frequent career moves, recent contract stints, or lack of strong product/design sense

Solely big tech experience and/or prefer working on large, established teams

• Build and ship the iOS app from scratch:
  Own the end-to-end development of Harmonic’s first iOS app from project setup and architecture, to shipping the initial product experience. You’ll turn ideas into polished production ready features quickly
• Create exceptional product experiences:
  You’ll partner directly with Product and Design leads to craft world‑class interactive experiences, leaning into AI‑native chat UX and setting the quality standard for Harmonic’s mobile interactions. Your work will define what “great” feels like in a native iOS app
• Drive technical decisions & mentor future hires:
  You will be the founding iOS engineer. Set the bar and help us shape how mobile operates at Harmonic long‑term
• Create scalable abstractions and foundations:
  Set up testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, modular architecture, reusable components and patterns that enable a future mobile team to move fast without breaking things
