What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Swift Developer position at Spatial?
About the Role
We are looking for a passionate and experienced Swift Developer to be a foundational member of our engineering team. We are building a flat, collaborative group where every member takes ownership and contributes across our entire platform. You will be building a groundbreaking collaborative design application for Apple Vision Pro, alongside its companion apps for iOS and iPadOS.
The ideal candidate is a master of Swift who is thrilled by the challenge of a new platform. You're not just a coder, you're a problem-solver who writes clean, pragmatic code, and knows when to leverage open-source or AI tools to move faster. While you'll primarily focus on the front-end, you're not afraid to dive into the backend to get the job done. If you thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment and want to build products that you can point to and say, "I built that," we want to talk to you.
What You’ll Do:
- Own the development of features across our entire Apple ecosystem, moving fluidly between our primary visionOS application and its companion apps for iPadOS/iOS based on team priorities
- Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code in Swift and SwiftUI
- Connect the applications to our real-time backend, ensuring seamless data flow
- Collaborate closely with a small, dedicated team to rapidly prototype, iterate, and launch new features
- Embrace the startup pace: quickly adapt to shifting priorities and business needs to make a direct impact on the product's success
- Help shape our engineering culture by championing best practices while maintaining a focus on speed and execution
What You’ll Bring:
- Demonstrated mastery of Swift, with a portfolio of apps you can share that you built entirely yourself
- Proven experience connecting mobile applications to backends, with specific knowledge of REST APIs and an understanding of PostgreSQL (experience with BAAS platforms like Supabase is a huge plus)
- A deep-seated excitement for spatial computing and building for new platforms like visionOS. (Direct experience is not required; passion is)
- Proven ability to thrive in an early-stage startup environment
- You understand the need for flexibility, can context-switch between projects effectively, and are comfortable wearing multiple hats
- A pragmatic approach to development, valuing open-source libraries and AI-powered tools as force multipliers
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented mindset
Bonus Points:
- Familiarity with generative AI for 3D, such as text-to-mesh or voice-to-mesh technologies.Experience with RealityKit, ARKit, or Reality Composer Pro
- Familiarity & experience crafting & deploying macOS applications
- Familiarity with 3D concepts, OpenUSD, or graphics frameworks like Metal
- Experience with real-time collaboration technologies (e.g., WebSockets, CRDTs)
- Solid understanding of spatial math (vectors, matrices, quaternions)
Why Join Us?
- Shape the Future: Work on the frontier of a new computing paradigm and define how people will create and collaborate in 3D
- High Impact: As an early member of a small team, your contributions will be critical and have a direct impact on our product and company trajectory
- Flexible & Modern Environment: We are a results-oriented team that trusts you to get your work done
