Rare Candy - Junior iOS Developer
Requirements
• You’re expected to take ownership of your role at Rare Candy and drive your own growth. That doesn’t mean doing it alone. You’ll have support, context, and mentorship along the way. • The systems are still evolving, the team is small, and your work will matter immediately. You'll need to be curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable learning by doing. • If you like mobile product craft, collector communities, and the idea of building tools you would actually want to use yourself, you'll do great here.
Responsibilities
• Build and improve iOS features across Rare Candy's collector-facing product. • Integrate with GraphQL APIs and collaborate with backend engineers to shape clean, usable client-server contracts. • Fix bugs, improve polish, and raise the quality bar for the iOS app. • Work closely with product, design, and engineering to turn ideas into shipped experiences. • Learn quickly, ask good questions, and communicate clearly when something is blocked, unclear, or ready for review. • A Day in Your Life at Rare Candy • You start the morning checking the iOS board and reviewing feedback on a feature you shipped yesterday. • Mid-morning, you're pairing with other engineers on a new integration for a collection feature. • After lunch, you're tightening up a SwiftUI screen, fixing an edge case, and testing the flow against real user behavior. • Later in the day, you're in a product discussion about how users want to showcase their favorite pulls, bringing both your iOS perspective and your own TCG fluency to the conversation. • You close the day by opening a PR with a clear summary, screenshots, and a note about what still needs review. • You Might Be a Fit If • You have around 3 years of iOS development experience and have shipped real features in a production app or serious side project. • You're comfortable building with Swift and SwiftUI. • You've worked with GraphQL, or you have enough API experience to ramp quickly. • You care about product quality, UI polish, and the little details that make an app feel good. • You're early in your career but serious about getting better. You want feedback, mentorship, and real responsibility. • You're comfortable in a fast-moving startup where priorities can shift and the best answer is often “figure it out, then make it better.” • You know the trading-card or collector world. You collect, play, rip packs, follow the market, or have real fluency in a similar collectible space.
