Senior iOS Engineer

Hybrid, New York City

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to join Monstro as our foundational iOS hire. This is a unique opportunity to own and architect the entire iOS experience for a next-generation consumer fintech platform — from first line of Swift to shaping how millions engage with their finances.

You’ll work closely with design, product, and executive leadership to bring prototypes to life, establish our mobile architecture, and define how iOS development is done at Monstro. You’ll be hands-on from day one — helping us build, ship, and scale our mobile product while laying the foundation for a future iOS team.

The ideal candidate is a senior iOS expert who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and obsesses over user experience. You have a startup mindset and are excited to build from the ground up — from picking between UIKit vs. SwiftUI to setting the tone for iOS engineering excellence at Monstro.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with the product, design, and leadership teams to align app experience with strategic vision
  • Partner with Android and backend engineers to ensure smooth integration across platforms

  • Optimize performance, security, and stability as the platform scales

Technical Leadership

Qualifications

Experience & Skills

  • 5+ years of experience building high-quality iOS apps
  • Deep expertise in Swift and iOS frameworks; experience with both UIKit and SwiftUI is a plus
  • Proven track record of shipping consumer-facing apps at scale, especially in fast-paced or startup environments
  • Strong architectural instincts — able to design scalable, modular mobile systems
  • Experience with performance optimization, debugging, and App Store deployment
  • Comfort building from 0 → 1 and working in unstructured environments

Soft Skills

  • You’re a builder — energized by creating from scratch and making decisions that matter
  • Excellent communicator, able to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams
  • Detail-oriented and passionate about delivering exceptional user experiences
  • Excited to help define the future of mobile finance
