About ZURU Tech

ZURU is a reimagination company, building next-generation products and brands across toys, consumer goods, pet science and construction.

ZURU Tech is leading the next building revolution. Construction is one of the world’s biggest industries, but it’s one of the last to be transformed by technology. Buildings are still designed in disconnected tools, engineered by hand and pieced together on site. We’re changing that.

We’ve spent the past decade rebuilding the process from the ground up, starting with the world’s first BIM software connected directly to fully automated production. It’s software for everyone. Our multidisciplinary engineers combine architecture, structural and civil engineering with software development, and they build that know-how into the platform, so you don’t need to be an expert to design a building.

We use AI across our team, with dedicated AI & ML specialists and engineers who use AI agents every day to prototype and ship faster. In the platform, AI handles non-creative decisions and checks designs, that way, users can focus on the design itself.

When a design is ready, it goes straight to our automated factory. There, machines and robots we build ourselves make the components with precision, and the components are shipped for fast assembly on site.

Software, engineering, robotics and manufacturing all sit under one roof at ZURU Tech, backed by the scale and founder-led drive of ZURU Group: 5,000 people in 34 offices, selling into more than 150 markets, with over 100 acres of fully automated manufacturing. And we’re only getting started.

About the role:

We are looking for a product-driven engineer to own native mobile app development in Italy. You will build and ship ZURU's consumer mobile apps on iOS and Android, and be the in-house reference for how native apps should be built — including reviewing and gating code produced by AI agents or by other developers, so we always have someone who truly understands what is happening under the hood.

Responsibilities:

You are a multi-hat developer with an entrepreneurial streak: an indie / solo developer or ex-startup engineer who has built several apps end to end and published them on the App Store and Google Play. You know the app-development world first-hand, you think about the product and the user as much as the code, and you are used to making decisions on your own.

• Design, build and ship native mobile apps for iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin), from first prototype to store release.

• Own the native mobile technology area: architecture, tooling, build and release pipelines, store submission.

• Review and quality-gate native code, including code generated with AI coding agents, and fix it when it goes wrong.

• Work directly with product designers and product owners to shape features, requirements and user experience.

• Rapidly prototype new product ideas and turn the successful ones into production-quality apps.

• Advise the wider team on native vs. cross-platform trade-offs and on mobile best practices.

Must-have

• Solid, hands-on experience with native iOS development in Swift (SwiftUI / UIKit).

• Working knowledge of native Android development in Kotlin.

• Strong product sense and the ability to work autonomously across the full lifecycle of an app.

• Daily, fluent use of AI coding tools and the judgement to review their output critically.

Nice to have

• Experience with React Native or other cross-platform frameworks, and a clear view of when to use them.

• Startup or founder experience, or having run your own apps as a business.

• Experience integrating apps with connected devices / hardware (e.g. cameras, Bluetooth).

• Familiarity with a Node.js backend stack.

Who thrives at ZURU

This isn't a 9-to-5. We move fast, think big and set goals most companies would call impossible, then go after them. The people who thrive here are entrepreneurs at heart. They own their work, chase bold ideas and never stop raising the bar.

At ZURU, you drive your career, and we give you the platform to take it as far as you can. There are opportunities here that you won’t find anywhere else, and you'll be surrounded by talented people who make things happen. We're a true meritocracy: we reward impact, not tenure.
