Role
Who you are
- You Build AI Products, Not Just with AI: You are excited about the new experiences AI can enable for customers, including personalization, automation, and intelligence embedded directly into product workflows
- You are AI-Native: 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 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 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
- Outcome-Driven Development: 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
- You thrive in "Small & Mighty" teams: 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
- 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
- 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 Brands has grown to be a major player in the online interior design space. It operates the brands Havenly, Interior Define, Burrow, The Citizenry, The Inside and St. Frank - delivering ways for people to more easily make their spaces their own.
One of the ways it does this is by connecting consumers with professional interior designers and product purchase recommendations through the Havenly platform. These consultations put the company ahead of simple visualization services, by making what is typically an inaccessible service affordable to more people.
Along with the sector at large, Havenly Brands has seen a healthy upswing in recent years. As it continues to build out its family of brands, its unique approach to the interior design business could see it win big.
