AI Mobile Engineer

About the Role

A high-growth technology company is seeking an AI-native Mobile Engineer to build the automation layer that powers its mobile development team.

This is not a traditional mobile product engineering role — the focus is on designing and implementing AI-driven systems that significantly improve developer efficiency. You will work at the intersection of mobile development and AI tooling, building orchestration systems that automate workflows such as ticket creation, code generation, testing, and code review.

The goal is to move toward a highly automated, AI-assisted mobile development pipeline. This is a high-ownership role for someone deeply curious about the frontier of AI-assisted engineering and interested in rethinking how mobile software is built.

The team is open to candidates across experience levels, including junior engineers with strong Swift experience and an interest in building with AI.

Key Responsibilities

• Build AI-powered development workflows
  Design and implement systems that automate the mobile development lifecycle, from issue creation through to pull requests and code review.
• Own mobile-specific AI tooling
  Address challenges unique to mobile environments (e.g., compilation constraints, CI on macOS, simulator workflows) and build systems that integrate seamlessly.
• Improve the feedback loop
  Optimize and evolve the existing tooling stack (e.g., messaging bots, ticketing systems, code generation tools, CI/CD pipelines) to increase speed and reliability.
• Develop orchestration systems
  Connect LLMs, design systems, and codebases into cohesive pipelines capable of reasoning about and modifying mobile applications.
• Collaborate with mobile engineers
  Partner closely with the mobile team to identify bottlenecks and improve developer productivity.
• Experiment with emerging tools
  Stay current with the latest AI models, frameworks, and engineering approaches.
• Support product development when needed
  Occasionally contribute directly to the mobile codebase during high-priority periods.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience building native iOS (and ideally Android) applications
• Proficiency in Swift and/or Kotlin, with a strong understanding of mobile build systems and tooling
• Solid programming skills in TypeScript (or willingness to learn quickly)
• Experience building or experimenting with AI-powered developer tools, agents, or automation systems

Nice to Have

• Experience building internal developer tools or CI/CD systems
• Familiarity with mobile CI environments (e.g., macOS build systems, simulators, provisioning)
• Experience with AI coding assistants or similar tools
• Active engagement with the AI engineering ecosystem (e.g., blogs, open-source, communities)
• Experience integrating with APIs (e.g., messaging, ticketing, design tools)
• Familiarity with blockchain / Web3 / DeFi concepts
• Understanding of LLMs and modern AI tooling (e.g., code generation, agents, orchestration frameworks)
