It uses your browser session to operate email, dashboards, internal tools, docs, and spreadsheets, and can keep working on tasks that take minutes or hours.\nIts browser agent scores 99.0% on Mind2Web, 40% smarter than Claude Cowork with Opus 4.7. Aside runs local-first, with memory and data protected on the user’s device.\nAfter our viral launch in June 2026, we reached 20K+ users and 3M+ views within two weeks. We’re backed by Y Combinator and angels including Dane Knecht of Cloudflare.\nThe Context\nAside currently lives where most work happens: the desktop browser. But you should not need to sit at your desk to start a task, check its progress, approve an action, or use the result. We need an engineer who can build this new surface from scratch and own it end to end.\nThe Role\nYou will build the Aside iOS app from the ground up. You’ll own the product experience, the architecture, the remote connection to a running browser session, and the systems that stream task updates and results back to the phone in real time.\nYou will:\nBuild the core mobile product. Let users start tasks, follow progress, review or approve actions, and use the result from anywhere.\n\nMake remote sessions feel reliable. Design the networking, state synchronization, reconnection, notifications, and recovery paths required for long-running browser tasks.\n\nUse the full Apple platform. Explore widgets, Live Activities, App Intents, Shortcuts, share extensions, push notifications, and background execution wherever they make the product more useful.\n\nCraft a polished native experience. Make every interaction fast, clear, accessible, and at home on iOS.\n\nBuild with users. Talk to them, understand what they need away from the desktop, and turn those insights into shipped product.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nApple platform mastery. You have shipped consumer iOS apps at scale. You know what Apple’s APIs actually do, not just what the documentation claims.\n\nSwift and SwiftUI depth. You are comfortable with modern concurrency, networking, persistence, background execution, and the tradeoffs of native app architecture.\n\nSystems rigor. You can reason about unreliable networks, distributed state, partial failure, and recovery without losing sight of the user experience.\n\nPlatform thinking. You think in primitives, not just features. You build solutions that solve today’s product needs while unlocking future use cases.\n\nProduct craft. You care about interaction details, performance, accessibility, and the difference between an app that works and one people want to use every day.\n\nProactivity. You create your own tasks. When something breaks or feels below the bar, you propose a solution and ship the improvement as if the product were your own.\n\nWe care more about what you have built than where you built it. Send us live apps, App Store links, prototypes, or anything else that shows how you think and build.\nHow we work\nWe’re a small, talent-dense team. Everyone has broad ownership.\nYou'll work directly with the founders.\nYou’ll directly talk to users through our community and interviews.\nOur office is based in San Francisco.\nWe can help on housing (we have co-living house) and visa (depends on the situation).","description_format":"text","description_chars":3313,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Consumer & Utility Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-14T04:03:08Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":25,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.558,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":54,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/aside-mts-mobile-engineer-ios","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/aside-mts-mobile-engineer-ios.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T02:29:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5310,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7652},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7652"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faside-mts-mobile-engineer-ios"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Faside-mts-mobile-engineer-ios"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Faside-mts-mobile-engineer-ios"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/aside-mts-mobile-engineer-ios\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faside-mts-mobile-engineer-ios"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":886224}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"aside.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":886224},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
