Founding iOS Engineer

YOUR ROLE As a founding iOS engineer at Overtone, you'll build the consumer app at the center of a new kind of dating service, one built around real-time voice, AI-driven insight, and trust. You'll own iOS at Overtone end to end: architecture, craft, performance, and direction. You'll partner closely with product, design, and engineering to ship a voice-first app that feels native, intentional, and alive. What You’ll Do - Build and own the Overtone iOS app, the surface where every dater experiences our voice-first, AI-driven product, on a team that holds craft to an extremely high bar. - Partner closely with product, design, and engineering to ship complex, voice-led experiences that feel effortless to use. - Set the culture for iOS engineering at Overtone: architecture, build and release discipline, code quality, and the playbook for moving from prototype to production. - Shape mobile strategy as we scale the team, the platform, and the company. Who You Are - Strong intuition and deeply considered opinions about iOS app design and aesthetics. You've worked on design-forward apps that people noticed. - Proven technical leader who has shipped iOS apps or major features to production multiple times, including navigating App Store review and release pipelines. - Passionate about UI, specifically the engineering involved in building lightning-fast, ergonomic, and innovative interfaces on iOS. - Expert at eliminating latency, particularly across real-time, voice, and AI-driven interactions. Nothing (not the network, not the architecture, not the limitations of the SDK) gets in the way of you finding those extra milliseconds. - Tuned in to the Apple release cycle and modern iOS UI/UX patterns, always thinking about how the newest platform features unlock better product experiences. - Deep hands-on experience across the full iOS lifecycle: architecture, build trains, test strategy, TestFlight, push notifications, and modern UI architecture patterns. - High judgment on perf
