Stealth Consumer Voice Product

Remote / San Francisco

Compensation: $120,000 to $200,000 + meaningful equity

Apply: akshay@openvision.engineering

We’re building a stealth consumer voice product on iOS.

This is not a founding role. It is a core product role.

You’ll work end-to-end across architecture, product quality, and polished interactions. You’ll collaborate closely with backend and AI teams to ship fast, reliable, and delightful mobile experiences. We’re a small, high-output team with a very high bar for craft.

What you’ll do

You’ll build and maintain a high-quality iOS app in Swift, with SwiftUI preferred and UIKit where needed.

You’ll own major parts of the mobile experience, including architecture, local persistence, sync, performance, and interaction quality.

You’ll help shape product decisions, not just implement tickets.

Responsibilities

iOS Development

• Build and maintain a production-quality iOS app in Swift
• Use SwiftUI where it makes sense, and UIKit when needed
• Design clean, testable architecture with clear module boundaries
• Implement offline-first flows, local persistence, and reliable sync
• Build real-time experiences where the product requires live state or streaming updates
• Optimize for smooth scrolling, fast cold starts, and efficient background work
• Implement deep links, push notifications, and in-app messaging
• Instrument the app with analytics, logging, and crash reporting
• Ship reliably through App Store releases, phased rollouts, and feature flags

Product & Craft

• Work closely with design to deliver beautiful, accessible, pixel-precise UI
• Turn ambiguous product goals into scoped plans, iterations, and shipped features
• Write clear documentation for important technical decisions and trade-offs
• Partner with backend to define APIs, error handling, and end-to-end reliability

Quality & Security

• Write unit, integration, and UI tests with a clear quality bar
• Enforce linting, formatting, and static analysis in CI
• Follow strong practices for privacy, secure storage, and permissions
• Review dependencies carefully and reduce attack surface wherever possible

What we’re looking for

Technical Requirements

• 2+ years of iOS development experience with Swift
• Strong Swift fundamentals, including async/await, memory management, and performance
• Experience building production apps with SwiftUI and/or UIKit
• Strong understanding of networking, API integration, and resilient error handling
• Experience with local storage such as Core Data, SQLite, Realm, or similar
• Comfort with Git workflows and CI/CD for mobile
• Strong fundamentals in architecture, testing, and shipping

Nice to Have

• Experience with audio, speech, or real-time streaming UX
• Exposure to modularization or shared business logic
• Familiarity with observability tools like Sentry or Crashlytics
• Experience working on high-traffic consumer apps

Example stack

• Mobile: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit
• Backend/AI: Modern APIs, real-time systems, cloud infrastructure
• Tooling: Xcode, GitHub Actions, Fastlane, TestFlight

What we offer

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity
• Health, dental, and vision
• Flexible PTO
• Remote-friendly with SF option
• Top-tier gear and tools
• Budget for learning and conferences
• Trips to SF and Shenzhen for launches and deep work

How to apply

This is not a normal job application.

We’re building with people who’ve already proven they can ship.

We’re looking for two kinds of people:

• Builders who’ve shipped something exceptional
• Builders who’ve been on great teams and learned how the best actually ship

No résumé. No polite cover letter.

Just send an email to akshay@openvision.engineering with:

• What you’ve built, with links
• Why we should bet on you

Be brutally honest.

If you do not have proof of exceptional work, this role is not for you.
