Member of Technical Staff; iOS Engineer, Computer

• As a mobile growth engineer at Perplexity, you’ll work across the full mobile funnel — install, activation, onboarding, push and lifecycle messaging, conversion, retention, and in-app purchase moments — for Perplexity, Comet, and Computer on iOS. Engineers are responsible for end-to-end projects: rebuilding onboarding as a series of experiments, wiring in-app purchase and paywall surfaces to our billing systems, shipping notification experiences people actually keep enabled, and turning ASO and deep-link work into measurable adoption
• Growth at Perplexity goes beyond incremental funnel optimization
• The team sits close to the core product — we translate behavioral signals, model outputs, and fast experimentation into durable product surfaces used across consumer and enterprise workflows
• You’ll move fast, run many experiments in parallel, and own the outcome end-to-end, while respecting the constraints mobile brings: release cycles, store review, and version fragmentation
• Design, build, and own growth surfaces across the mobile funnel — install, activation, onboarding, lifecycle, conversion, retention, and paid upgrade moments — on iOS
• Lead experiments end-to-end, from hypothesis and instrumentation through implementation, analysis, and rollout, shipping many in parallel despite app release cadence. Build the flag-driven and server-driven patterns that let us test without waiting on a store release
• Own in-app purchase and paywall surfaces: billing integrations, subscription and credit purchase flows, entitlement correctness, and pricing and packaging experiments
• Build push and lifecycle notification experiences that earn their opt-in — permission prompts, targeting, timing, deep links back into the right task, and the instrumentation to prove they drive retention rather than churn
• Make cross-platform surfaces feel native. Partner with web and design engineers so onboarding, upsells, and in-task nudges are consistent across web, iOS, and Android
• Partner with rest of Growth to optimize app store performance and attribution
• Hill-climb on the metrics that matter: install-to-activation, D1/D7/D30 retention, notification opt-in and engagement, paid conversion, and habit formation, instrumented with clean data and trustworthy experiment readouts
• Partner closely with Product, Design, Data Science, Monetization, Marketing, and the core Mobile team to translate behavioral signals into durable product surfaces

Strong product judgment; you translate user behavior and growth opportunities into simple, effective technical solutions

Familiarity with A/B testing and experimentation platforms (Eppo, Statsig, Optimizely, or in-house equivalents) especially inside a versioned app Comfort data-informed decision-making — you can pull, segment, and interpret your own funnel data Strong execution: you ship many experiments and product improvements in parallel and drive them to a clear outcome

Experience owning a full release cycle: build and release tooling, phased rollouts, store review, crash and regression monitoring, and rolling back safely

Strong native skills (eg. Swift/SwiftUI/Objective-C) — and the willingness to flex into other parts of the stack to unblock yourself and others

Self-motivated with strong ownership instincts; you propose experiments, ship features ahead of schedule, and drive improvements without asking for permission3+ years of professional mobile engineering experience shipping consumer apps at meaningful scale on iOSGenuine interest and adoption of AI products and willingness to learn quickly

Direct experience on a growth or experimentation-heavy team

Deep experience with in-app payments

Experience with mobile attribution and measurement stacks (Apps Flyer, Adjust, Branch) and paid mobile acquisitionASO experience, including store listing experiments and localized metadata

Comfort reaching into the backend or web stack to unblock yourself end-to-endTime spent at a fast-growing startup or on a high-ownership engineering team
