Job Description

AI-First iOS Engineer

Grove Collaborative

• Direct multiple AI coding agents in parallel to design, build, test, and ship iOS features in Swift, UIKit, and (increasingly) SwiftUI. • Take total ownership of a slice of the iOS app — discovery, scoping, architecture, implementation, QA, release, monitoring, and iteration. • Run an "engineer-as-a-team" workflow — spawn agents for spec drafting, codegen, test generation, code review, refactoring, doc writing, and bug triage, then merge, judge, and ship. • Develop and defend a strong point of view on what good iOS code looks like inside Grove's architecture (View Controllers + ViewState value types, AppController/Coordinator patterns, protocol-driven Services and Data Managers, Combine, modularized via local Swift Packages) so you can critically review AI output and reject what doesn't meet our bar. • Design prompts, evals, and harnesses that make AI-assisted mobile development repeatable and measurable, not artisanal. • Stand up automation that closes the loop: Fastlane lanes, CircleCI checks, TestFlight distribution, device test farms, telemetry-driven rollback, and AI-powered review gates. • Drive architecture decisions with AI as a research and prototyping partner — explore three options in a day instead of one in a week, especially during the UIKit → SwiftUI migration. • Collaborate with other engineers on architecture and trade-offs — bring designs for review before you ship them. Solicit business context from PMs, designers, and platform engineers; don't guess in isolation. • Own production health autonomously — monitor Sentry, Datadog, Cloudflare, and Firebase to assess system health, triage incidents, and re-prioritize your own backlog without being asked. You set the queue; you don't wait for someone to tell you what's broken. • Mentor the Heady contractor team on AI-native workflows and share learnings with mobile peers.

Job Requirements

  • 5–8 years of professional iOS development experience with a portfolio of shipped consumer apps at scale.
  • Native, demonstrable fluency with modern AI coding tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, agentic workflows) — you can walk us through a feature you shipped where AI did the majority of the coding and you did the orchestration.
  • Strong, opinionated taste in Swift, UIKit, and SwiftUI, with experience leading UIKit → SwiftUI migrations on a real app (not a greenfield demo).
  • Comfortable in repos that use Coordinator/AppController patterns, protocol-driven Services and Data Managers, and value-type ViewModels — and willing to make pragmatic calls about which patterns to keep and which to retire.
  • Experience integrating with JSON:API-style backends (sideloaded relationships, sparse fieldsets) and Shopify storefront/checkout APIs at consumer scale.
  • A bias toward owning end-to-end outcomes rather than handing off work at team boundaries — paired with the judgment to know when to pull another engineer in for an architecture review or business-context check.
  • Genuinely autonomous in operation: you read Sentry/Datadog/Firebase/Cloudflare dashboards on your own, prioritize your own queue, and don't need a manager to surface what's on fire.
  • Comfortable writing prompts, evals, and guardrails — you treat AI as a system to be engineered, not a search box.
  • Sharp written communication — specify clearly, review rigorously, and explain decisions to teammates. You'll drive async standups, design reviews, and Slack debugging sessions with a distributed team.
  • A collaborative, ego-light disposition — orchestrators thrive when they care more about the result than the byline, and welcome a sharp design critique from a peer.

Benefits

  • Competitive benefits - medical, vision, dental
  • Equity - shared success is core to our mission
  • Flexible Paid Time Off - we care most about results
  • Free VIP membership and 50% employee discount
  • Working for a company that believes that a small group of people can change the world for the better by creating products and funding initiatives that help the planet!
