iOS Product Engineer at Tolan

Tolan is hiring a iOS Product Engineer in San Francisco, CA, US. On-site. Pay: USD 200k-300k/yr.

About Tolan

Tolan is a company that makes a mobile app featuring an AI companion, an alien character, that supports people in their everyday lives, including helping them through emotionally difficult experiences and improving relationships.

iOS Product Engineer job description

Tolan is building personal AI that helps people think, reflect, and take action in their real lives.

We're an experienced team that previously founded Even, acquired for $300M in 2022. Tolan is backed by the designers and founders behind Instagram, Retro, Behance, Vimeo, and Notion.

The Role

We're hiring an iOS Product Engineer to build the Tolan iOS app. You'll work closely with the design team to own a substantial part of the product, from prototyping through to production.

What You'll Do

  • Own a substantial part of the Tolan iOS app end-to-end, from prototyping through to production.

  • Partner closely with a designer to shape and ship features that define the Tolan experience.

  • Build and maintain complex audio/video systems that are core to the product.

  • Talk with users and review metrics after shipping to evaluate impact and inform next steps.

  • Iterate rapidly, treating nothing as real until it's in users' hands.

Who We're Looking For

  • iOS-first engineer. You primarily work as an iOS engineer, even if you've spent time on other platforms or up and down the stack.

  • Audio/video experience. You've built products with complex audio/video stacks.

  • Small team operator. You do your best work on a small team or solo.

  • Pattern breaker. You know when to follow patterns and when to break them to make something entirely new.

  • Prototype-to-production mindset. You build by prototyping, iterating, and shipping — it's not real until it's in users' hands.

  • AI-native. You've deeply integrated AI into how you work.

  • Bias to ship. You love to ship quickly and make contact with reality as often as possible.

Compensation: $200,000-300,000 base salary + equity + benefits
