You will work on the whole app, not one part of it: Swift and UIKit on the client, TypeScript and Node.js on the server. You will own features end to end from the UI components to the backend services serving the data.\nThis is a senior engineering role with deep technical impact across our mobile application and backend. The ideal candidate has built and operated high-scale consumer iOS applications end to end, showing strong ownership from architecture to production execution. You will collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering teams to deliver robust features, maintain software health, and drive technical excellence across the client and server codebases.\nWe offer comprehensive medical and dental coverage, $50 a day food delivery budget, equity based employment, a great culture, learning opportunities, unlimited vacation, 12 weeks paid parental leave, and we pay all employees $1,000 a year to go somewhere in the world that they've never been because of our values of human connection, empathy, and curiosity.\nResponsibilities\nBuild and own core member-facing features end to end.\n\nSet architectural patterns and best practices, and solve hard client-side lifecycle and state management problems.\n\nPartner with server engineering on API design, data correctness, and client-server state sync, and implement backend components of features.\n\nWork with product, design, and data science to scope, experiment with, and launch member-facing features. Sweat the details of interaction, motion, and performance.\n\nContribute across large, long-lived iOS and Node.js codebases: performance, testing practices, and deliberate management of tech debt.\n\nOwn production health for core flows: monitoring, crash triage, and release quality.\n\nRaise the engineering bar through code review, mentorship, and clear written specs.\n\nRequirements\n7+ years of professional iOS development experience, with strong proficiency in Swift, UIKit, and MVVM.\n\nStrong experience with RxSwift or similar reactive programming frameworks.\n\nA track record of shipping consumer mobile apps to large audiences, with strong judgment on architecture, performance, and user experience.\n\nStrong consumer product sense, a high bar for design quality, and the ability to partner with product, design, and data.\n\nProficiency in a backend language, with experience shipping and maintaining production services. We use TypeScript and Node.js, but welcome engineers who have built services in Go, Python, Ruby or another backend language.\n\nExperience designing APIs that mobile clients depend on and owning the business logic and systems behind them.\n\nProven ability to lead projects from concept through launch, balance speed and quality, and own what you ship after it ships.\n\nYou use AI coding tools in your daily work, help the team adopt them, and look for opportunities to improve the engineering harness.\n\nWhat Sets You Apart\nBackend infrastructure experience: designing and operating what a service runs on including deployment, scaling, reliability and observability at production scale.\n\nExperience with StoreKit 2, subscriptions, and paywall or pricing experiments, including subscription analytics.\n\nExperience with Mapbox or complex map-based interfaces.\n\nFamiliarity with SwiftUI alongside UIKit, and with modularizing a large iOS codebase.\n\nExperience with Redux-style state management patterns.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3631,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Dating & Relationships","Social Networks"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T03:01:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":49,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T03:47:20Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/raya-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-ios-backend","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/raya-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-ios-backend.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T03:47:20Z","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":8833,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":1215},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1215"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fraya-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-ios-backend"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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%2Fraya-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-ios-backend"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fraya-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-ios-backend"},{"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/raya-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-ios-backend\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fraya-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-ios-backend"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3999923}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"rayatheapp.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3999923},"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.
