Senior iOS Engineer

Team

Join Rachio, the category-defining connected irrigation controller company, now expanded into Smart Hose Timers and Smart Lighting. The iOS app is the experience that ties this entire ecosystem together — the interface between customers and how they operate their outdoor environments. You'll be the iOS Lead, owning this surface and building the foundation for a shared platform across three hardware product lines.

Responsibilities

• Own the iOS experience across Smart Irrigation Controller, Smart Hose Timer, and Smart Lighting — coherent design language and information architecture across three connected hardware products
• Partner with Product Managers, designers, firmware engineers, and backend engineers to drive ideation and delivery for new product and feature launches
• Build device provisioning, pairing, and control flows across Wi-Fi and BLE, where reliability matters more than novelty
• Architect foundation allowing platform concerns (connectivity, device state) and product concerns (UX, AI features) to evolve independently
• Drive AI tool adoption on the team: evaluate AI output and continue instrumenting systems for AI adoption
• Work autonomously in small, high-trust team while managing own priorities, deadlines, and deliverables
• Determine how new features and hardware products surface in the mobile experience for customers

Requirements

• 4-year bachelor's degree
• 7+ years of professional iOS development with published App Store examples
• Strong Swift fundamentals including concurrency, protocol-oriented design, modern async patterns
• Experience with Reactive Programming (RxSwift and/or Combine)
• Demonstrated fluency with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) as first-class part of daily workflow
• Experience integrating iOS apps with backend services and shipping through App Store Connect
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Design taste: passionately care how the app looks, feels, and responds

Desired Qualifications

• CoreBluetooth and BLE device communication, ideally for consumer IoT
• SwiftUI experience and a point of view on when to use it vs. UIKit in mature production codebase
• Modular architecture patterns for multi-product apps
• Fastlane, CI/CD, release automation
• Track record of shaping how AI tools are adopted on an engineering team
• Curiosity about firmware, embedded systems, or broader IoT stack

Benefits

• Annual incentive bonus
• Remote work (NAMER — North America)
• Build the foundation and help decide what the next hire looks like
• Work at intersection of hardware and software (BLE, Wi-Fi, IoT)
• AI-native engineering culture with first-class AI tool adoption
• Category-defining consumer IoT products
• Opportunity to architect shared platform across multiple hardware product lines
• Equal Opportunity Employer
