About The Position

SideShift is hiring an iOS Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of its creator-facing iOS app, which helps creators discover deals, track performance, and get paid. The app is central to SideShift’s creator economy platform, used by more than 1 million creators and 3,000+ brands, with more than $100 million paid out to creators. The engineer will partner with founders, design, and backend engineering to build and launch native iOS experiences, establish mobile architecture and quality standards, and improve reliability and performance as the platform scales. This is a high-ownership role rather than a ticket-queue position: the engineer will turn ambiguous product goals into shipped features and increasingly own mobile independently. AI tools and agent-assisted workflows are a regular part of the team’s work. The role is based in person at SideShift’s New York City office in FiDi, five days per week. Relocation may be available for the right candidate. Compensation is $150,000–$230,000 plus equity, calibrated to experience and scope.

Responsibilities

Own the creator-facing iOS app from idea and design partnership through Swift implementation, launch, and iteration.
