Company mission
To help people create and refine their little corner of the world.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for an engineer who views AI as their primary superpower and who cares more about the why than the how
- Specifically, we are looking for someone with deep iOS/Swift expertise who isn't afraid to step outside the mobile sandbox
- We want builders who are bored by traditional "ticket-taking" and instead want to collaborate directly with stakeholders to architect the most efficient path to value across our entire ecosystem
- You are excited about the new experiences AI can enable for customers, including personalization, automation, and intelligence embedded directly into product workflows
- You are an iOS Specialist with a Full Stack Mindset: You have a deep command of Swift, but you believe "it’s all just code"
- You prefer the speed of a startup and the impact of a cross-functional role where your voice directly shapes the product
- Swift Expertise: Solid experience building and maintaining high-quality iOS applications
- The AI-First Mindset: A proven track record of using AI tools to accelerate your output and solve problems outside your "comfort zone" of mobile development
- Full-Stack Versatility: Strong fundamentals in software architecture. You understand how mobile apps, APIs, and web frontends interact at a fundamental level
- Strategic Communication: The ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical partners and lead cross-functional initiatives
What the job involves
- You won't just be "maintaining an app." You will leverage the latest in AI-driven development to navigate a diverse family of brands, contributing to our iOS experiences while seamlessly moving into the backend and web codebases to ship end-to-end features
- You don't just use Copilot; you are pushing the bounds of AI agents and automated workflows to accelerate everything from SwiftUI layouts to complex backend logic
- You use AI to gain proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or PHP in hours, allowing you to own a feature from the mobile UI all the way to the database
- You prioritize business impact over specific tech stacks. You leverage AI to rapidly prototype mobile and web ideas, then harden them into production-ready systems
- Ship AI-Powered Features: Build and own AI-driven product experiences across our ecosystem, including defining AI behavior, evaluating output quality, and iterating based on real customer impact
- Engineer at 10x: Leverage the emerging AI toolbelt to rapidly build, test, and deploy features across our iOS app and our portfolio of eCommerce sites
- Bridge the Gap: Work as a strategic partner to Product Managers. You don't just receive requirements; you help define them based on what’s technically possible across mobile, web, and AI today
- Navigate Complex Systems: Use AI-augmented discovery to jump into various codebases (from our native Swift app to custom React/Node APIs), identify bottlenecks, and implement fixes
- Architect for Scale: Design and maintain high-traffic systems that power 6+ brands and a massive national footprint
- Shape the Culture: Act as a pioneer for AI-first development. Mentor the team on how to leverage these tools effectively to raise the "engineering floor" for both mobile and web disciplines
- The Arsenal (What you’ll use):
- AI Stack: Cursor, GitHub Copilot, AI models (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and more),, and emerging Agentic workflows (such as ADK)
- Mobile & Web: Swift (SwiftUI), React, NextJS, Node.js, Python, PHP, GraphQL
- The Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Docker, and eCommerce Platforms (Shopify and Magento)
Our take
Founded in 2014, Havenly has grown to be a major startup in the online interior design space. Its platform connects customers with professional interior designers and product purchase recommendations. And, along with the sector at large, it has seen a healthy upswing in recent years.
Though rivals like Modsy and Roomstyler make for tough competition, Havenly's professional consultations put them ahead of simple visualization services, and are attractive to customers looking for an affordable version of a previously hard-to-access personal service.
Havenly's two-pronged approach to the interior design business could see it win big over the coming years. It has lately focussed on acquiring brands such as The Inside, Interior Define and The Citizenry, as well as venturing into IRL services with the launch of “Havenly At Home”.
