• Data Visualization: Develop high-performance, interactive charting tools and real-time visualizations to assist users in making informed, data-driven trading decisions.
• Wallet & Security Integration: Implement native integrations with mobile wallets and biometric authentication, managing on-device transaction signing and secure key management.
• System Architecture: Integrate complex REST APIs and WebSocket streams while managing robust client-side cached states to ensure data integrity.
• DevOps & Quality Assurance: Configure and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated builds, previews, and testing to ensure seamless production rollouts and rollbacks.

Interview Process

1. Initial Interview: Discussion with the Founder / CEO.
2. Assessment: A take-home technical test.
3. Technical Evaluation: A comprehensive technical interview and an onsite coding session.
4. Final Review: A final interview with the leadership team to confirm alignment.

Requirements

• Design Sensibility: A strong eye for UI/UX with the ability to wireframe, prototype, and make informed design decisions regarding information hierarchy and gesture-driven interfaces.
• App Store Proficiency: Proven track record of shipping apps through the Apple App Store, with a deep understanding of the full release cycle from provisioning to production.
• Platform Expertise: Deep knowledge of iOS performance characteristics, memory management, and background processing.
• Real-Time Systems: Experience building applications that handle live data streams, including managing WebSocket connections, reconnection logic, and UI responsiveness.
