Founding iOS Engineer

New York City (in-person) · Full-time · 2–5 years of experience

We're hiring a founding iOS engineer to build the most addictive mobile trading experience ever created.

The fastest growing companies in the world are pump.fun, axiom, and hyperliquid [all of these were faster to 100M ARR than Lovable, Cursor, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.]. We believe this stresses a megatrend that the world is becoming more tokenized, more liquid, and that anything will become tradable [equities, trends, prediction markets, and more].

We're building a platform that enables the lowest latency gamified* trading experience using crypto rails. We've raised a pre‑seed from top VCs and angels in crypto and are looking to grow aggressively.

What we offer

  • Your own room in a very luxurious NYC apartment with amenities
  • Unlimited upside for salary [base of 175k – 225k, + bonus directly proportional to company performance + a lot of equity]
  • Work directly with the founding team in person every day
  • Shape the mobile experience that millions of users will interact with daily

Preferred qualifications

  • Believe in the hypergambling thesis: long degeneracy
  • 2+ years of iOS development experience with Swift and SwiftUI
  • Experience building real-time applications with WebSocket connections
  • Understanding of financial markets and trading concepts
  • Grew up playing mobile games [Clash Royale, PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, etc]
  • Experience with high-performance iOS apps that handle real-time data streams
  • Knowledge of Core Animation, Metal, or other performance optimization frameworks
  • Experience with push notifications, background processing, and App Store guidelines

About the interview

  • iOS coding challenge (live trading interface or real-time data visualization)
  • Technical deep-dive on performance optimization
  • Call with CTO
  • Work trial (we will pay you to come in and work with us in our office)

Tech stack

Swift, SwiftUI, Combine, WebSockets, Push Notifications, Core Data, Metal
