## Job description

Why work at Higgsfield AI? Higgsfield AI is the fastest-scaling generative AI company in history, hitting $500M in annual revenue run rate, 25M+ users worldwide, 6M+ generations per day, and powering 390 of Fortune 500 brands. We're building at the absolute frontier of AI-powered video creation and next-generation creative tools. Joining Higgsfield means becoming part of a high-impact team shaping the future of AI-native experiences, at a company that isn't just moving fast, but rewriting what fast looks like.

About the role: We’re looking for an iOS Developer with deep iOS development experience to help build and evolve our mobile product. You’ll own features from initial idea through release, make technical decisions, and work closely with product, design, and backend teams. We value autonomy, high agency, and high energy: engineers who take initiative, solve problems, and keep work moving.

What you’ll do:

- Own complex iOS features end to end, including technical design, implementation, testing, release, and iteration.
- Build polished interfaces with UIKit and SwiftUI.
- Design and evolve the network layer, including API integration, authentication, error handling, retries, and caching.
- QA your own work: validate user flows, visual details, and edge cases across supported devices and iOS versions, and resolve issues before shipping.
- Improve app performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Contribute to product decisions and work with designers to refine user flows and interactions.
- Raise engineering quality through code reviews, technical guidance, and improvements to development practices.

Core requirements:

- Strong native iOS development experience, with a track record of shipping and maintaining production applications.
- Deep proficiency in Swift, with strong experience in both UIKit and SwiftUI, including interoperability.
- Strong networking fundamentals and experience building reliable, maintainable network layers.
- An AI-native engineering workflow: use AI coding assistants and agents to accelerate exploration, implementation, testing, and debugging; evaluate their output critically and take responsibility for the result.
- Strong ownership and the ability to deliver features independently, with sound technical judgment and clear communication.
- Strong product taste and an eye for good UX, demonstrated through thoughtful interactions, clear flows, and attention to detail.

Great to have:

- Ability to build and deploy simple backend services and APIs.
- Experience with server-driven UI (SDUI), including client compatibility and fallback behavior.
- Experience integrating Stripe into mobile payment flows.

How you work:

- You’re comfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving environments.
- You have a genuine drive to learn and a talent for sharing knowledge clearly with those around you.
- You identify problems, propose solutions, and follow through.
- You move with urgency and make deliberate trade-offs.
- You bring energy to collaboration and help unblock others.
- You care about how the product works for users and what happens after a feature ships.

The deal

- Competitive salary in USD + stock options.
- On-site role in our Almaty office (we will relocate you from anywhere).
- Full-time position with high growth potential.
