iOS Developer – AI Apps
BjakA1 is a self-funded AI group, operating in full stealth. We’re building a new global consumer AI application where iOS is a core platform, not an afterthought.
This is a founding iOS role. You’ll design AI-powered mobile systems that balance UX excellence with the realities of AI latency, streaming, and failure modes.
Why This Role Matters
You define how AI feels in users’ hands
You bridge backend intelligence with human interaction
You help establish iOS engineering standards from zero
You influence product direction through what’s possible on-device
What You’ll Do
Build and maintain iOS apps using Swift / SwiftUI
Integrate AI-powered features via backend APIs
Implement camera, microphone, and media pipelines
Design UX for AI interactions (loading, streaming, retries, fallbacks)
Optimize performance, memory, and battery usage
Capture user feedback and signals for AI evaluation
Collaborate with backend and AI teams on API design
Maintain high App Store quality and production stability
What It’s Like to Work Here
You own features end-to-end
You design systems, not just screens
You think deeply about latency, reliability, and UX tradeoffs
You move fast, test in production, and iterate
You work closely with senior engineers and founders
Requirements
3+ years of iOS development experience (Swift)
Hands-on experience integrating AI features
Strong understanding of async/await and background tasks
Experience with camera, audio, and local storage
Solid iOS performance and memory optimization skills
Experience shipping production apps
Nice to Have
Exposure to CoreML or on-device ML
Built AI chat, voice, or streaming-based apps
Experience with feature flags or remote config
Strong intuition for AI UX patterns
