About The Position

Trove is building the future of collectibles. For us that means culture, community, and commerce all come together within a mobile experience that feels thoughtful and memorable. We’re a group of passionate, creative builders who thrive on the uncomfortable excitement of starting something new. If you’re someone who values meaningful ownership and impact, keep reading. Trove is looking for an iOS Engineer to join our early-stage team. As we prepare to launch our first product we need talented developers with bold ideas who can help bring the team’s vision to life. You’ll work closely with the founders, product, design, and backend engineering to shape the app from its earliest foundations. Your contributions will meaningfully influence the direction of the product, the engineering culture, and the standards we set as we grow. We’re looking for someone who thrives in the energy of a founding team where priorities evolve, constraints are real, and momentum matters. You should be excited to roll up your sleeves, make thoughtful architectural decisions with incomplete information, and lay down systems that can support rapid product evolution without compromising the user experience. The right person has strong empathy for the end user and appreciates clean, functional design. You should care about craft, performance, and the details that make an experience feel effortless. This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving environment where ideas turn into shipped features quickly, and where you’ll help determine not just how things are built, but how they function and feel.
