iOS Engineer (Contract)

Helium Is Building Self-Improving Software

Helium is building self-improving software: AI that automatically generates and tests new software experiences to lift revenue. We're...

• Talent-dense (8 people, 6 engineers, 75% ex-founders)
• Well-funded ($6M from Google & leaders from OpenAI)
• Fast-growing (serving tens of millions of AI experiences per day for top consumer companies)

What You'll Do

You'll help build our platform to auto-generate mobile experiences. Specifically, you'll be in charge of big chunks of our mobile SDKs.

• Own the iOS/React Native mobile experience for Helium customers
• Launch new features (e.g. remote onboarding experiences) to help our customers automate mobile optimization
• Come up with new ways to improve SDK reliability, speed, and usability, and work directly with customers to get feedback and improve their experience
• Own documentation, release maintenance, CI/CD, testing, Google Play/Android billing
• Wearing a lot more hats than listed above

What We're Looking For

• Keen problem solving skills : you are able to cut down ambiguous problems down to first principles and deliver a working solution.
• Strong mobile eng foundation : you have plenty of experience building mobile apps on the App Store, and using SDKs (RevenueCat, Amplitude, Segment, Stripe, Firebase)
• Experience working with Apple In-App purchases.
• Owning features end to end : you'll write your own PRDs/quick specs when necessary, and you test your features end to end to make sure they work and satisfy the requirements
• Customer obsession : you think deeply about the devex of SDKs, you answer questions, jump on issues, and use customer feedback to build excellent products.

Nice To Haves

• Experience working on mobile SDKs (release maintenance, docs, etc)
• Experience with Flutter and Android app development
• Experience with native modules/bridging logic
• Experience working on open source, or non-mobile experiences
• Experience working on mobile webview tech (if you've figured out a cool way to make Android webviews feel almost native, get in touch)
• Experience working with mobile analytics tools (Amplitude, Segment, Statsig, etc)

Reasons This Role Might Not Be A Fit

• You want to work 9-5
• You avoid Cursor or AI coding tools.
• You can only operate on well-written specs, or feel uncomfortable designing new experiences from scratch.
• You don't want to talk to customers.

• Next.js (React/Typescript), Zustand
• AI (vercel) SDK
• Tailwind/Shadcn
