Junior iOS Developer

About the role

The Junior iOS Developer will build and improve iOS features across Rare Candy's collector-facing product. They will integrate with GraphQL APIs, fix bugs, improve polish, and raise the quality bar for the iOS app. They will work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to turn ideas into shipped experiences.

Responsibilities

• Build and improve iOS features across Rare Candy's collector-facing product.
• Integrate with GraphQL APIs and collaborate with backend engineers to shape clean, usable client-server contracts.
• Fix bugs, improve polish, and raise the quality bar for the iOS app.
• Work closely with product, design, and engineering to turn ideas into shipped experiences.
• Learn quickly, ask good questions, and communicate clearly when something is blocked, unclear, or ready for review.

Requirements

• Around 3 years of iOS development experience and have shipped real features in a production app or serious side project.
• Comfortable building with Swift and SwiftUI.
• Experience working with GraphQL, or enough API experience to ramp quickly.
• Care about product quality, UI polish, and the little details that make an app feel good.
• Early in your career but serious about getting better. Want feedback, mentorship, and real responsibility.
• Comfortable in a fast-moving startup where priorities can shift and the best answer is often “figure it out, then make it better.”
• Know the trading-card or collector world. Collect, play, rip packs, follow the market, or have real fluency in a similar collectible space.

Qualifications

• Competitive startup compensation, including a salary range of $100,000-$120,000, and meaningful equity upside.
• Full benefits: health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), and a wellness stipend.
• A monthly dogfooding budget to spend on cards, because we hire people who love this hobby.
