• Deep excitement for spatial computing and Apple Vision Pro.
• Proven ability to thrive in an early-stage startup environment.

Good to Have

• Experience with RealityKit or ARKit on iOS.
• Familiarity with generative AI for 3D (text-to-mesh, voice-to-mesh).
• Experience with real-time collaboration technologies (WebSockets, CRDTs).
• Familiarity with 3D concepts, OpenUSD, or graphics frameworks like Metal.
• Solid understanding of spatial math (vectors, matrices, quaternions).

Perks & Benefits

• Shape the Future: Work on the frontier of a new computing paradigm.
• High Impact: Critical contributions with direct impact on product and company.
• Flexible & Modern Environment: Results-oriented team with trust.

About the Role

We are seeking a passionate and experienced Senior Swift Developer to join our engineering team. While our core platform is a groundbreaking collaborative design tool for Apple Vision Pro, this role is specifically focused on building the essential iOS and iPadOS companion applications that power our ecosystem.

We are building a flat, collaborative dev team where every member takes ownership. You will be the primary driver for our iPhone and iPad experiences, ensuring they serve as powerful, seamless bridges to our spatial computing environment.

The ideal candidate is a master of Swift and SwiftUI on mobile who is excited by the potential of spatial computing but is happy to focus their immediate coding talents on creating world-class 2D touch interfaces. You are a problem-solver who writes clean, pragmatic code and knows when to leverage open-source or AI tools to move faster. If you thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment and want to build products that redefine how users interact with 3D content, we want to talk to you.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the Mobile Experience: Lead the architecture and development of our iOS and iPadOS applications, ensuring they are robust, responsive, and intuitive.
• Bridge the Gap: Build features that allow users on iPhone and iPad to interact seamlessly with users in the Vision Pro environment.
• Code with Craft: Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code in Swift and SwiftUI.
• Data & Real-Time Sync: Connect applications to our real-time backend (PostgreSQL/Supabase), ensuring instant data synchronization across platforms.
• Rapid Iteration: Collaborate closely with a small, dedicated team to rapidly prototype, iterate, and launch new features based on user feedback.
• Startup Agility: Embrace the pace of an early-stage company; quickly adapt to shifting priorities to make a direct impact on the product's success.
• Culture: Help shape our engineering culture by championing best practices while maintaining a focus on speed and execution.

What You’ll Bring:

• Swift Mastery: Demonstrated mastery of Swift and SwiftUI, with a portfolio of iOS/iPadOS apps you can share that you built entirely yourself.
• Deep Mobile Knowledge: Expert understanding of the iOS SDK, app lifecycle, memory management, and modern mobile architecture patterns.
• Backend Integration: Proven experience connecting mobile applications to backends, with specific knowledge of REST APIs and PostgreSQL (experience with BaaS platforms like Supabase is a huge plus).
• Passion for the Future: A deep-seated excitement for spatial computing and Apple Vision Pro. Even though your daily code will be on iOS, you need to understand and love the 3D mission we are on.
• Startup DNA: Proven ability to thrive in an early-stage startup environment. You are flexible, can context-switch effectively, and are comfortable wearing multiple hats.
• Pragmatic & Modern: You value open-source libraries and AI-powered tools as force multipliers to get the job done efficiently.
• Collaboration: Excellent communication skills and a team-oriented mindset.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with RealityKit or ARKit on iOS (using the iPad/iPhone as a window into the 3D world).
• Familiarity with generative AI for 3D, such as text-to-mesh or voice-to-mesh technologies.
• Experience with real-time collaboration technologies (e.g., WebSockets, CRDTs).
• Familiarity with 3D concepts, OpenUSD, or graphics frameworks like Metal.
• Solid understanding of spatial math (vectors, matrices, quaternions).

Why Join Us?

• Shape the Future: Work on the frontier of a new computing paradigm. Your iOS apps will be an entry point for many users into our spatial world.
• High Impact: As an early member of a small team, your contributions will be critical and have a direct impact on our product and company trajectory.
• Flexible & Modern Environment: We are a results-oriented team that trusts you to get your work done.

About Spatial
