Senior iOS Developer
About Us
Blueprint is a software talent agency that builds and places high-caliber engineers directly into product teams at fast-growing tech companies.
Our engineers are trusted to think, decide, execute—and most importantly—own outcomes. Clients come to us when quality, speed, and judgment matter more than headcount.
We operate globally and remotely, with a strong bias toward autonomy and accountability.
Were looking for people who thrive in fast-paced startup environments and take initiative and ownership while working closely with our partners.
Core Requirements
7+ years of experience
Proven ownership of iOS architecture in production (not just features)
Deep expertise in Swift, iOS SDKs, app lifecycle, memory management, and performance
Strong architectural judgment (e.g. MVVM, TCA, Clean Architecture) and the ability to explain why a choice fits the product stage
Know when and when not to use AI to boost coding output
Experience leading large initiatives such as major refactors, migrations, or platform rebuilds
Comfort operating in ambiguity—turning loose product ideas into shippable systems
High code quality bar with pragmatic tradeoffs for speed vs. correctness
Ability to influence technical direction across mobile, backend, and product
Experience mentoring senior engineers through code review and design discussions
Solid grasp of modern iOS tooling: async/await, Combine, SwiftUI, etc.
About You
You have an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoy the challenge of working in an agile, startup environment
You think in systems, not screens
Youve seen what happens when codebases scale badly—and know how to prevent it
You dont need heavy process to be effective, but you can introduce structure when its actually useful
Youre comfortable saying this is the wrong solution and defending that position
You communicate clearly with non-iOS engineers, designers, and founders
Youve likely worked at early-stage or fast-growing startups (2->10 or 10->100), or operated with equivalent ownership
You are self-motivated, proactive, and take pride in writing clean, maintainable code
How We Operate

Most clients are comfortable working with offshore teams and async or round-the-clock schedules
We hire talented, passionate people from all backgrounds and are committed to maintaining a diverse, thoughtful culture
We believe in compensating our people well, doing our best work, and prioritizing quality of life
Our Culture
Love what you do, and do what you love

Minimal meetings, strong async communication
Everyone is expected to care about the business—not just their function
Be authentic. Being yourself is a game changer.
