Technical Co-Founder / Founding Developer (iOS)

Founding Equity + Future Pay | Creative-led Startup | Launching August 2025

We’re looking for a brilliant technical mind to help bring a bold, design-led vision to life. This is more than an app — it’s a creative movement.

You’ll be partnering with a well-established Creative Director with a background in luxury branding and editorial media, now focused on launching their “big idea” — a simplified, image-led iOS app built to shake up and reimagine what social actually means.

We’re seeking a technical co-founder or senior developer to:

• Build a solid iOS MVP (Swift/SwiftUI preferred)

• Launch in 2 test locations (London & Milan)

• Ensure scalability from the start

• Collaborate closely on UX/UI, simplicity is key

• Help shape product direction and creative decisions

The Product:

• Minimal features by design

Key Milestones

• Soft launch / Opening Night: London – Aug 23rd / Milan, Italy – Sept 23rd

• Touring model planned for future growth

You Might Be:

• An iOS engineer with a flair for design and simplicity

• Excited by projects that feel more like cultural statements

• Looking for a creative, meaningful side project (or future full-time role)

• Eager to build something properly from the ground up

Bonus:

• Interest in editorial, art, fashion or creative spaces

• Experience working on location-based or media-lightweight apps

• Based in London or Milan — or happy to travel occasionally
