Senior iOS Engineer

About Us

Leonardo.Ai is an Australian startup on a mission to unleash the world's creativity with our generative AI platform. Launched in 2022, we've grown to tens of millions of users worldwide, and we're only just getting started.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to join our Native Tribe, the team that builds Leonardo's mobile apps and drives a mobile-first product roadmap. In this role, you'll take ownership of complex feature areas, influence architectural decisions, and support the growth and confidence of other engineers.

You'll be working in a SwiftUI-first codebase backed by a GraphQL API and a fast, modern CI/CD pipeline. The environment values clarity, constructive collaboration, thoughtful testing, and the practical use of AI-assisted tooling to help us ship high-quality work efficiently.

Your impact will reach beyond implementation. You'll help shape how the product feels, inform decision-making, and contribute to the team's evolution as we scale.

What You'll Do

• Lead and own major feature delivery from discovery and scoping through implementation, release, and iteration.

• Shape architectural patterns and technical direction to support performance, modularity, and maintainability.

• Write high-quality Swift and SwiftUI code using structured concurrency and clean state management.

• Improve production health and reliability through instrumentation, debugging, monitoring, and incident support.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, backend, and Android teams to co-create consistent experiences.

• Mentor and support teammates through pairing, knowledge-sharing, and constructive code reviews.

• Advance our developer experience and workflows, including exploring the thoughtful use of AI-assisted development tools.

Skills We Value

• Deep experience building and shipping iOS apps using Swift and SwiftUI in production environments.

• Proficiency with structured concurrency, Swift Package Manager, and XCTest with a pragmatic approach to testing.

• Strong architectural and systems reasoning with the ability to evaluate and communicate trade-offs clearly.

• Experience leading complex or ambiguous work and bringing clarity and direction to others.

• Collaborative communication skills that build trust and alignment within cross-functional teams.

• Interest in mentoring and enabling others through pairing, review culture, and shared growth.

• Curiosity and initiative in exploring new tools, patterns, and approaches to improve how we work.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

• Help shape mobile-first creativity tools used by millions worldwide.

• Work with a fast, reliable release pipeline enabling rapid iteration and learning.

• Explore AI-assisted development workflows, prototypes, and new ideas.

• Grow in a supportive environment with shared ownership and thoughtful collaboration.
