Job description

About GroundedAI

GroundedAI builds software systems that turn complex, real-world data into reliable insights. Our products operate in challenging, industrial environments where correctness, performance, and maintainability matter just as much as innovation.

We work at the intersection of software engineering, geospatial data, and spatial computing. Our focus is on shipping robust systems used by engineers in the field, not prototypes or research demos.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Mobile Software Engineer to join our product engineering team and help build the mobile applications used by engineers and geologists working on underground construction and tunneling projects.

This role is ideal for someone with 3–5 years of experience who enjoys building production mobile applications and taking ownership of features end-to-end.

You’ll help develop and maintain our iOS field application, which enables engineers to capture structured geological observations, perform LiDAR-based scans of underground environments, and synchronize spatial data with our cloud platform.

This is a mobile software engineering role first, with spatial computing and 3D data as an important part of the problem space.

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain features for GroundedAI’s mobile field application
• Develop and improve workflows for LiDAR-based spatial scanning and mapping
• Help port existing iPad scanning workflows to iPhone platforms
• Work with 3D and spatial data including meshes, imagery, and geospatial metadata
• Improve reliability and performance of field workflows used in challenging environments
• Collaborate with backend and product engineers to implement end-to-end features
• Debug and resolve issues across mobile clients, data synchronization, and spatial processing pipelines
• Contribute to technical discussions around mobile architecture and future platform support

What We’re Looking For

Required

• ~3–5 years of professional experience building mobile applications
• Experience developing native iOS applications using Swift
• Strong fundamentals in software design, debugging, testing, and code quality
• Experience contributing to or shipping production mobile apps used by real users
• Comfort working with APIs, data models, and client–server architectures
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of technical problems
• Interest in working with spatial data, mapping, or 3D systems

Spatial / Graphics Experience (Nice to Have)

• Experience with SwiftUI
• Familiarity with ARKit, LiDAR, or spatial computing frameworks
• Experience working with 3D meshes, point clouds, or spatial reconstruction
• Exposure to Metal, SceneKit, or RealityKit
• Experience building offline-first mobile applications
• Android or cross-platform mobile development experience

Why GroundedAI

• Work on real-world systems used in complex engineering environments
• Build software that captures and processes spatial data from the physical world
• Strong engineering culture focused on ownership, pragmatism, and quality
• Opportunity to influence core mobile architecture and product direction
• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Flexible hybrid / remote work options
• Support for learning, experimentation, and professional growth
