About us

Aave Labs began with a simple question: how do we make financial services like borrowing, saving, and earning more accessible globally?

We built the Aave Protocol, now the world’s largest and most trusted onchain lending market, connecting decentralized finance with individuals, traditional finance, and fintech.

Today, we build trusted, high-quality products that expand access to lending, credit, and savings globally

Our culture

We build trusted products that help people access and discover economic opportunities.

We hold a high bar for quality and craftsmanship. No detail is too small. Trust depends on it.

We’re a global team building products people can actually use, turning complex technology into something simple and reliable.

We stay aligned, move quickly, and think long term, while keeping teams lean and focused on impact.

About the role

We’re looking for a Staff iOS Mobile Engineer to help lead and shape the highly anticipated Aave app. You’ll build high-quality, secure and intuitive experiences across our ecosystem while working closely with design, product and engineering teams. This role offers meaningful ownership, deep technical impact, and the opportunity to push the boundaries of mobile and blockchain UX.

How you can make an impact:

Develop and ship new features for Aave’s mobile app using UIKit, maintaining a scalable and reliable codebase
Integrate core blockchain functionality, including wallet connectivity, transaction signing, on-chain data reads, gas estimation, and account-abstraction flows
Build secure wallet and key-management interfaces, and deliver real-time data experiences such as balances, yield updates, and notifications
Collaborate closely with designers to deliver pixel-perfect UI, refined interactions, and a cohesive mobile design system
Work with backend and protocol engineers to integrate on-chain/off-chain data, supply/bridge/vault flows, and analytics
Optimise app performance across memory, battery, cold-start time, and overall responsiveness
Partner cross-functionally on requirements, timelines, security reviews, code quality, and long-term architecture

Let's connect if you have:

5+ years building consumer mobile apps, including 3+ years with UIKit and strong Swift proficiency
Deep knowledge of mobile architecture, navigation, animations, and native module integration
Experience integrating blockchain features (wallets, transactions, gas, RPCs) and familiarity with account abstraction is a plus
Proven ability to ship polished, design-precise mobile experiences with strong UX sensibilities
Experience with secure storage, encryption, and managing sensitive user data
Comfortable owning large product areas end-to-end and collaborating in fast-moving, cross-functional teams

Haven’t quite met all the criteria? Let’s not miss out on the chance to speak. Whilst you might not meet every single requirement, you might bring other, more exciting skills to the companies!
