- 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

- 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
