Remote | Full time
Compensation: $60K - $70K
We are hiring on behalf of our client, a fast-scaling financial technology startup operating at the intersection of Prediction Markets, AI, and Blockchain.
Their platform is currently processing $200M in annualized volume and experiencing explosive growth of 100% week-over-week. They are backed by elite institutional investors, including a $500M AUM digital asset fund and a premier AI/Crypto accelerator with a sub-1% acceptance rate. They are looking for a world-class Staff Mobile Engineer to own their iOS experience and build a high-stakes trading environment where performance is the primary product feature.
As a Staff Mobile Engineer, you will be the architectural lead and primary owner of their iOS trading experience. This is a product-critical role where your code sits directly between their users and live, real-money markets.
You will work in a high-bandwidth environment alongside the CEO, COO, and founding engineering team to ship a mobile experience that rivals the best in TradFi.
Key Responsibilities:
-
End-to-End Ownership: Lead the mobile architecture and own the iOS codebase from inception to deployment.
-
Real-Time Systems: Build and optimize low-latency trading interfaces featuring live orderbooks, streaming charts, and instant position updates.
-
High-Stakes Engineering: Implement secure, seamless wallet and key management flows using modern embedded infrastructure.
-
Performance Tuning: Optimize for extreme responsiveness, WebSocket stability, and battery efficiency under heavy data loads.
-
Rapid Iteration: Ship high-quality features daily, moving from concept to production without the friction of heavy corporate processes.
Requirements
They are looking for a high-agency engineer who thrives when given autonomy and "impossible" performance targets.
-
Expertise: Deep experience building and scaling high-performance consumer iOS applications (React Native / TypeScript).
-
Technical Depth: Mastery of real-time data streaming (WebSockets), complex state management, and API integration (REST + GraphQL).
-
UX Intuition: A refined eye for detail—you understand that in trading, a 100ms delay in UI feedback is a bug.
-
Infrastructure Knowledge: Familiarity with modern mobile CI/CD (TestFlight), monitoring (Sentry/Crashlytics), and ideally, embedded wallet infrastructure (e.g., Privy).
-
Mindset: You are "high-ownership," comfortable with ambiguity, and move fast without sacrificing production quality.
-
Interest: A genuine interest in trading, decentralized finance, or high-throughput financial products is a significant advantage.
Location Note: They have a preference for candidates based in Eastern Europe or Asia to align with their current global distribution.
Benefits
-
High Impact: Join a founding-level team at a company growing 100% weekly; your work will directly drive revenue and user growth.
-
Prestige & Backing: Work in a "talent-dense" environment backed by the top 1% of venture and crypto accelerators.
-
Technical Challenge: Solve the unique hurdles of building a real-time, high-stakes financial exchange on mobile.
-
Autonomy: Direct access to leadership and a seat at the table for architectural and product decisions.
-
Competitive Package: They offer a compensation and equity package commensurate with a staff-level role at a top-tier startup.
