About Vibecode

We're democratizing software creation. Our platform lets anyone describe an idea and instantly turn it into a working application—no coding required.

We're solving one of computing's fundamental challenges: bridging the gap between human intent and software execution. This requires breakthrough advances in AI reasoning, code generation, and user experience.

We've raised a large seed round from some of the best investors in the world including Alexis Ohanian (776), Arielle Zuckerberg and Cyan Banister (Long Journey), Ali Partovi and Suzanne Xie (Neo), and a whole host of amazing angels who are leaders at Google, Expo, OpenAI, etc.

About the Role

Want to be at the forefront of making easy-to-use consumer AI agents? This is the perfect role for you.

We're looking for an iOS Engineer to build the mobile experience that makes software creation feel like magic. You'll craft high-quality animations and interactions that make "vibe coding" on your phone intuitive and delightful for millions of users.

What you'll do:

• Design and implement smooth, engaging animations that guide users through the app creation process

• Create intuitive touch interactions and gestures for describing, editing, and refining software ideas

• Optimize performance for real-time AI interactions and live app previews on mobile devices

• Ship high-quality code fast while maintaining exceptional user experience standards

• Collaborate closely with designers and AI engineers to bring cutting-edge interactions to life
