New

Staff Software Engineer (iOS)

Gardena, California, United States

The Company:

Faraday Future (FF) is a California-based mobility company, leveraging the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility. We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles to establish new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.

Your Role:

As a Staff Software Engineer (iOS) in our Crypto projects, you will design, build, and ship high‑quality iOS applications distributed via the App Store. You’ll own module‑level architecture and end‑to‑end delivery—discovery, technical design, implementation, testing, performance tuning, release, and observability—using modern iOS practices (Swift, SwiftUI, structured concurrency with async/await/Actors, modularization with SPM). You will set engineering standards, lead design reviews, and partner with Product, Design, and Backend to deliver secure, fast, and reliable user experiences.

Key Responsibilities:  

  • Architecture & Design: Define app/module architecture (Clean, MVVM/MVI), boundaries, and data contracts; lead ADRs/design reviews; drive modularization and code health.
  • Feature Delivery: Ship user‑facing features with maintainable Swift code; uphold code quality via reviews, automation, and guardrails.
  • Cross‑Platform: Build and maintain Flutter (Dart) modules in an iOS “add‑to‑app” setup; integrate via Platform Channels/FFI; ensure UX/perf parity with native. (React Native experience is a plus.)
  • Performance & Reliability: Optimize launch, frame time/dropped frames, memory, energy, and networking; apply Instruments and MetricKit; maintain 60/120 Hz frame budgets.
  • Quality & Testing: Establish testability; write unit/integration/UI tests (XCTest/XCUITest, snapshot where useful); use URLProtocol/OHHTTPStubs for mocks; keep CI green.
  • Security & Release: Implement Keychain/Secure Enclave, ATS, certificate pinning, and Biometric auth; own code signing/TestFlight, staged rollouts/feature flags; monitor crash/hang and drive RCAs.

Basic Qualifications:   

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 7+ years of professional iOS development with significant ownership of app/module architecture and delivery at scale.
  • Expert in Swift, SwiftUI (plus UIKit where appropriate), async/await/Actors, and modularization with SPM; solid DI patterns and testable architecture.
  • App/Scene Lifecycle & System Fundamentals: deep understanding of App/Scene lifecycle, BGTaskScheduler/background URLSession, notifications, deep/universal links, multitasking; Core Animation pipeline and run loop basics.
  • Performance Engineering: proficiency with Instruments (Time Profiler, Allocations/Leaks, Core Animation, Energy, Network) and MetricKit; ability to reduce cold‑start time, main‑thread blocking, memory churn, and dropped frames.
  • Networking/Security: strong with URLSession, caching, reachability, ATS, Keychain/Secure Enclave, privacy/ATT, and common auth patterns (OAuth2/OIDC).
  • Flutter proficiency (Dart): capable of implementing production Flutter features, embedding Flutter reliably, integrating via Platform Channels/FFI, and profiling hybrid screens to meet frame budgets.
  • CI/CD for iOS (Xcode/SCMs, Fastlane or GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins); ability to maintain stable, fast pipelines.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Professional working proficiency bilingual in Mandarin Chinese
  • Advanced Swift Concurrency and SwiftUI performance (state management, view identity, rendering); scalable modularization/componentization.
  • Media/Web content fundamentals (AVFoundation/AVPlayer, HLS/LL‑HLS, PiP/AirPlay; WKWebView performance for hybrid content).
  • Integration with major exchange/market-data APIs (REST + WebSocket), including local order-book maintenance (snapshot + delta, sequence handling), reconnect/backoff, and rate-limit strategies.
  • Precision-sensitive arithmetic for prices/quantities/fees using BigDecimal with deterministic rounding; idempotent client workflows for retries/status reconciliation.
  • Familiarity with wallet connection flows at the integration boundary (e.g., WalletConnect deep links/Intents) with safe isolation patterns and secure UX.
  • Building low-latency time-series charts on iOS (e.g., Swift Charts, Charts/DGCharts, SwiftUI Canvas/Core Animation/Metal) with frame-synced updates (CADisplayLink) and efficient diffing/decimation for live market data.

Salary Range:

($160,000 - $180,000 DOE), plus benefits and incentive plans

 Perks + Benefits

  • Healthcare + dental + vision benefits (Free for you/discounted for family)
  • 401(k) options
  • Casual dress code + relaxed work environment
  • Culturally diverse, progressive atmosphere

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
