About this role

We’re looking for a founding iOS engineer to join us in building the future of business banking and cash management.

You’ll be responsible for bringing Highbeam’s products to life on mobile—from foundational architecture to beautiful user-facing features. This is a critical role in shaping how our customers interact with their finances daily, with a focus on speed, reliability, and delightful UX.

What you’ll do

• Own the architecture, implementation, and launch of Highbeam’s iOS app

• Build intuitive, high-performance user interfaces that reflect complex financial data in a simple way

• Set best practices for mobile engineering—code quality, testing, CI/CD, analytics, crash reporting

• Collaborate closely with design to deliver polished, on-brand user experiences

• Work across the stack when needed, and coordinate with backend engineers to define API needs

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience building and maintaining iOS applications in production

• Fluency in Swift and modern iOS development frameworks (e.g. SwiftUI, Combine, or UIKit)

• Understanding of Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines and a strong product sense

• Comfortable setting up mobile CI/CD pipelines and using tools like Xcode Cloud, Fastlane, or TestFlight

You'll thrive at Highbeam if...

• You love working in-person with a high-performing team

• You enjoy working in an idea-meritocratic, low-ego environment

• You are proactive and self-directed, and you excel in ambiguous, fast moving environments

• You care about delivering a polished customer experience

• Bonus: You have experience working in fintech, AI or early-stage startups

What we offer

• Chance to join the founding team of a well-funded startup chasing a huge opportunity

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity

• Great location: Our NYC office is in NoHo, a short walk from the A,C,E · B,D,F,M · N,Q,R,W · 1 · 6 trains. Our Toronto office is downtown near Osgoode Station.

• Generous PTO

• Comprehensive health & benefits package

• Stipends for lunch, commute, wellness, and purchasing customer products

• Yearly offsite—most recently we went to Mexico City!
