To expand access to fair credit to give anyone in the world the opportunity to improve their financial security and mobility.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience as an iOS engineer building consumer-facing mobile products. You're strong enough to own technical tradeoffs and quality without close oversight
- Consumer product background is non-negotiable. You've built products that real users interact with daily. Candidates who primarily worked on iOS infrastructure (e.g., app load time, build systems) or internal tooling are not the right fit for this role
- Product experimentation and analytics experience. You've worked with A/B testing frameworks — Statsig, LaunchDarkly, or similar — and analytics platforms like Amplitude or FullStory. The specific tools matter less than your ability to instrument experiments, analyze user behavior, and turn signal into product decisions
- Outcome-oriented, not ticket-oriented. You can take a conversion problem and drive an improvement independently — thinking through the funnel, partnering with design, designing experiments, and iterating — without needing someone to prescribe the path
- Attention to detail that extends beyond code quality. You understand that in a regulated product, the gap between what you meant to ship and what you actually shipped has real downstream consequences. You build accordingly
- Android experience or cross-platform interest is a plus. We're actively exploring how mobile engineers can stretch across both iOS and Android platforms as these products grow. That capability will matter
- Don’t meet every qualification? We care about potential over your past. If you're bringing ambition and drive to what we're building, we want to hear from you
What the job involves
- Drive the application and approval funnel: Own the iOS experience across our credit products — optimizing conversion rates, improving funnel performance, and continuously raising the bar on how users move from application to active product use
- Run experiments that advance the unified product vision: Test different product constructs and UX approaches that move us toward a single, seamless credit experience. You'll work from hypothesis to signal, validating what actually works before we scale it
- Operate at the outcome level: You'll be handed a metric — say, 40% conversion — and expected to improve it through your own problem-solving. That means working with design and product to identify the right levers, not waiting for a spec that tells you exactly what to build
- Hold the line on precision in a regulated product: Errors in credit products don't just create bugs — they trigger compliance requirements: corrective notices, potential fee refunds, regulatory exposure. Your attention to detail is as much a product requirement as your engineering skill
- Grow into full iOS ownership: Work alongside a staff iOS engineer as they take on broader tilt-wide responsibilities. The path to owning iOS for both products is 6–12 months — this is a real and near-term expansion of scope
- Collaborate across the full stack: Partner with PMs, designers, data science, and backend engineers to build credit experiences that hold up at every layer — technically, experientially, and regulatorily
Our take
An individual’s credit score greatly influences their life, affecting their ability to rent, receive loans, buy a house, and access affordable interest rates. But you have to have credit to build credit, leaving a lot of people in a catch-22 situation. Tilt (formerly Empower Financial) is a mobile-only app that makes credit more inclusive and accessible, helping customers achieve their credit health goals regardless of their credit history (or lack thereof).
Though other FinTech companies such as Mint or Personal Capital also offer impressive financial tracking for their customers, Tilt’s comprehensive set of personal finance features including cash advance and automatic savings offerings make it a better choice for people who want to use a single app to manage their finances.
By empowering people to take control of their money through its range of financial services, Tilt is working to break the cycle of paycheck-to-paycheck living. Backed by Blisce, Defy Ventures and Quiet Capital, the company has been significantly growing its revenue in recent years and was recognized in the 2022 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies in the US.
