💻 Role

The Seller Growth Product team’s mission is simple but ambitious : accelerate seller success on Whatnot.

We build experiences that help sellers ramp up quickly and grow sustainably — from seamless onboarding and education to personalized incentives and challenges that motivate continued engagement. Our goal is to empower every seller to turn their passions into thriving businesses faster.

As our next iOS Engineer, you’ll help shape the mobile experiences that power this journey. You’ll work closely with design, product, and backend teams to deliver elegant, performant, and impactful features that drive real growth for sellers. Your work will focus on :

Developing high-quality iOS features in Swift and SwiftUI that power seller onboarding, education, and incentive experiences — with a strong attention to detail, performance, and user experience.

Collaborating cross-functionally with product, design, and data partners to define goals, manage scope, and align on priorities that balance speed, quality, and impact.

Leveraging data and experimentation to guide product decisions — designing and analyzing A / B tests, digging into results, and iterating to accelerate seller success.

Contributing across the stack when needed (our backend is primarily Python) and staying open to learning beyond iOS.

Upholding engineering excellence through code reviews, documentation, and thoughtful technical discussions.

Team members in this role are required to be within commuting distance of our San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, or New York City hub.

👋  You

Are comfortable using A / B testing and data tools (e.g., Snowflake, SQL) to understand user behavior and guide product decisions.

Communicate clearly, manage stakeholder expectations effectively, and take ownership from concept to launch.

Are passionate about mentorship, sharing knowledge, and helping raise the team’s technical bar.

Bonus points for :
