Senior iOS Developer (freelance)
Job Summary
If youre a Senior iOS Developer who knows BLE inside out and likes code that talks to physical things we want to talk. Youd join us on a freelance time & material basis: youre paid for the hours you actually work on real client projects. The first three months are about figuring out if were a good match. When things work out and that depends on the work itself the project pipeline and business timing theres a real path to our core team with a permanent contract and full benefits.
Weve been designing and co-creating connected devices since 2008. Wearables smart audio health-tech hardware for clients like Oura and BOSE backed by investors like a16z and Founders Fund. Were 60 people fully remote and AI-native since before LinkedIn influencers discovered the term. We use AI every day in actual work not just in company decks. If your Swift has ever made a physical device do something it couldnt do before you already get why we love what we do.
If you like being told exactly what to build every morning opening Jira closing Jira and logging off at 17:01 were probably not your people. We look for engineers who ask why before how challenge assumptions and occasionally break things because they were trying something new. Were AI-native and we expect you to treat AI as a daily multiplier not a gimmick. What we expect: ownership of what you touch straight talk when things get complicated and the kind of curiosity that makes you actually care about the device on the other end of your Bluetooth connection.
Build and maintain iOS apps that communicate with hardware peripherals over BLE
Take part in specifying planning and estimating new modules and features
Write and maintain unit tests (XCTest Quick/Nimble) with a TDD mindset
Keep CI/CD pipelines in shape (GitHub Actions Bitrise Travis)
Review pull requests and give your teammates feedback that actually helps
Share what you learn: tech talks internal docs pair sessions whatever fits
Work side by side with firmware engineers designers QA and PMs

Fully remote. We have a pet-friendly office in Warsaw and a coworking space in Gdansk if walls and coffee machines motivate you but nobody will ask why youre not there. Working hours are flexible: most of the team operates between 10:00 and 18:00 CET and thats when most meetings happen. Evening calls with US-based clients (up to 20:00) are part of the rhythm sometimes a couple of times a week always planned ahead. Youll be part of the Mobile chapter for knowledge-sharing and at the same time on a project squad led by a PM for day-to-day delivery.

When the first 3 months work out and that depends on the work the project pipeline and business timing theres a real path to a permanent contract with a fixed monthly salary 26 days paid leave 10 sick days Saltus medical care and a training budget
No sugarcoating: during the freelance period theres no paid leave or medical benefits. Those come with the permanent contract and were transparent about that upfront.
We aim to give you space to ramp up before jumping into live project work but this is a real company with real deadlines: if the project needs you sooner well make sure you have the support to hit the ground running. Youll get paired with a technical buddy and tackle progressively bigger tasks so both sides can see how the collaboration feels. Feedback comes early and often no one waits three months to tell you something isnt working. If its great youll know. If something needs adjusting youll hear about it while theres still time to adjust.
The entire process is in English. All interviews are recorded for internal evaluation purposes.
