iOS Engineer (AI)

Our client is an AI startup building a proactive AI assistant that helps users complete real-world tasks through intelligent, goal-driven workflows.

We are looking for an iOS Software Engineer to own the iOS client experience—how AI feels, responds, and performs in users' hands. You'll build a production-grade iOS application where AI interactions are central to the product experience, with a strong focus on performance, reliability, and user trust.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain iOS applications using Swift and SwiftUI.
• Integrate AI-powered features through backend APIs.
• Design user experiences for AI interactions, including loading states, streaming responses, retries, and fallback mechanisms.
• Optimize application performance, memory usage, and battery efficiency.
• Capture user signals and feedback to support AI evaluation and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate closely with backend and ML engineers on API design and system behaviour.
• Maintain high standards for App Store quality, application stability, and production reliability.

Requirements

• 3+ years of iOS development experience using Swift.
• Hands-on experience integrating AI-powered features into mobile applications.
• Strong understanding of async/await, concurrency, and background task management.
• Solid knowledge of iOS performance tuning and memory optimisation.
• Experience shipping and maintaining production-grade iOS applications.
• Comfortable designing for latency, partial failures, and the non-deterministic nature of AI systems.
• Exposure to CoreML or lightweight on-device machine learning.
• Familiarity with feature flagging or remote configuration systems.
• Strong intuition for AI user experience patterns and user trust considerations.
• Technologies and tools: Swift, Swift Package Manager (SPM), SwiftUI, SQL, NoSQL, TensorFlow Lite (on-device inference).
