Frontend Engineer (iOS + Unity)

Team

Join WishWish, a Series A startup backed by leading crypto VCs, building a gamified blind box collecting platform for 3D digital collectibles. Think Pokémon TCG Pocket — built for independent artists and collectors. You'll own the majority of the frontend experience in a small, fast-moving team.

Responsibilities

iOS (Primary)

• Own the native iOS app: architecture, UI/UX implementation, App Store deployment
• Build and maintain the iOS home screen widget (WidgetKit) that displays users' collectibles
• Optimize widget performance — efficient rendering, timely updates, and smooth transitions
• Optimize for iOS performance — smooth, responsive, battery-efficient

Unity ↔ iOS Integration

• Own the communication layer between Unity unboxing experience and native iOS shell — native plugins, Swift/ObjC bridging, and data passing
• Ensure the Unity runtime embeds cleanly within the iOS app and performs well on device
• Debug and resolve cross-boundary issues between Unity and iOS

Collaboration

• Work directly with Technical Artist to integrate VFX, shaders, and animations into the live product
• Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) as a core part of workflow
• Ship fast, iterate based on user feedback, and maintain a clean codebase

Requirements (Must-Have)

• 2+ years of native iOS development experience (Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI)
• Experience shipping and publishing apps on the App Store
• Solid Unity fundamentals — comfortable navigating a Unity project
• Experience with Unity ↔ iOS integration: native plugins, Swift/ObjC bridging, embedding Unity in iOS app
• Solid understanding of mobile performance fundamentals — memory management, frame budgets, battery constraints
• Use AI coding tools daily and know how to get the most out of them

Nice to Have

• Experience with WidgetKit and iOS home screen widgets
• Familiarity with Unity URP, VFX Graph, or Timeline
• Experience with gacha, TCG, or collectible game mechanics
• Familiarity with Web3 / wallet integration
• Prior experience at a small startup or as an indie developer
