About the Role
We are looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to own Sekai’s iOS app and help us build a fast, polished, AI-native consumer experience.
This role is for someone with strong iOS experience, good consumer product taste, and the ability to move quickly in a startup environment. You should keep up with the latest Apple platform updates, understand what great mobile apps feel like, and be excited to use AI to rethink how fast a small team can build.
You will work closely with Product, Design, Backend, and Mobile engineers to improve the iOS app experience, ship new features, and help define our AI-native mobile development workflow.
Responsibilities
Own and improve Sekai’s iOS app experience, quality, and release velocity
Build and ship consumer-facing iOS features with strong attention to speed, polish, and reliability
Bring modern iOS best practices and the latest Apple platform knowledge to the team
Work across native iOS, hybrid mobile, and web-based app experiences when needed
Partner closely with Product, Design, Backend, and Mobile engineers to move from idea to shipped product quickly
Use AI development tools to accelerate coding, debugging, refactoring, and product iteration
Qualifications
Strong professional experience building and shipping iOS apps
Deep familiarity with Swift, iOS SDK, and modern iOS development practices
Experience working on consumer mobile apps with high standards for UX, performance, and reliability
Experience owning projects end-to-end in a startup, 0-to-1 product environment, or similarly fast-moving team
AI-native mindset: you actively use AI tools to build faster, explore better implementation paths, and improve engineering productivity
Strong product sense and willingness to work closely with design and product teams
Nice to Have
Experience with social, entertainment, creator, gaming, UGC, or feed-based consumer products
Experience with React Native, Flutter, WebView, or other hybrid mobile architecture
Familiarity with Android, backend systems, or full-stack product development
Experience working on AI-native products or teams that heavily use AI in day-to-day development
At Sekai, you will work with an AI-native team, move fast, own meaningful problems, and have the flexibility to explore new ideas from an early stage.
