About The Position

We're building an AI-powered tool designed to revolutionize iOS & MacOS development, aiming to provide developers with a smart, efficient, and automated coding experience. Similar to how Cursor AI enhances code writing and debugging, we're developing a Cursor for iOS Development tailored specifically for Xcode, Apple's flagship IDE. Currently, Xcode lacks AI capabilities, but our product seeks to fill that gap by automating tasks and assisting with code generation, editing, and debugging. Our long-term goal is to fully automate iOS development, making it more efficient for the millions of developers working within the Apple ecosystem. Ultimately, we envision our tool as the "Devin for iOS development", an essential platform for iOS developers that integrates seamlessly with Xcode. We're growing rapidly, with more than 5000 users joining the past 2 months. We're funded by Khosla Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, SV Angel, Chapter One, and Ravikant Capital. Our users include teams from Duolingo, Huawei, eBay, Robinhood, LinkedIn, Zillow, FanDuel, Citizen, ElevanLabs, ByteDance, Notion, and The Economist.
