About The Position

Rare Candy is revolutionizing the $25 billion trading-card industry as the only community marketplace 100% dedicated to TCGs. Collectors use our AI-powered card scanner, data-rich collection tools, and jaw-dropping drops to buy, sell, rip, and showcase Pokémon, MTG, Lorcana, One Piece, and more. We've hit 10x revenue growth over the last 6 months, the business is highly profitable, and we're building the team to take this from a great product to a category-defining one. We're a 10-person team moving fast and looking for the next set of TCG-obsessed rock stars to join our team. We're hiring a Junior iOS Developer to help build the mobile experience for collectors to use every day from managing their collections, connecting with the community, and opening Instapacks. You'll work closely with the CTO and engineering team to ship features across our iOS app. This is a hands-on product engineering role for someone early in their career who already knows how to build in Swift and SwiftUI, has worked with GraphQL, and wants to grow quickly inside a fast-moving startup. You won't be handed endless tickets in a giant backlog. You'll work on real product problems, learn from one of the leading mobile engineers, and see your work go directly into the hands of passionate collectors. If you love trading cards or collector communities, and want to level up fast, this is a role for you.

Requirements

Around 3 years of iOS development experience and have shipped real features in a production app or serious side project.
Comfortable building with Swift and SwiftUI.
Worked with GraphQL, or have enough API experience to ramp quickly.
Care about product quality, UI polish, and the little details that make an app feel good.
Early in your career but serious about getting better. You want feedback, mentorship, and real responsibility.
Comfortable in a fast-moving startup where priorities can shift and the best answer is often “figure it out, then make it better.”
Know the trading-card or collector world. You collect, play, rip packs, follow the market, or have real fluency in a similar collectible space.
Curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable learning by doing.
