iOS Developer

The role

This role sits on the iOS team of a small group recently folded into Instacart, which builds phone-camera computer vision and AR products. The engineer would own a native Swift SDK and the companion app, working alongside product, design, data science, and backend peers. The position is hybrid, with three in-office days per week in Israel.

What you would do

• Maintain and grow a Swift-based SDK that adds AR shelf scanning
• Work on the recognition core, spanning scene understanding through on-device model inference and release
• Create computer vision pipelines using Apple's image analysis and ML tooling
• Build AR interactions on ARKit for live shelf scanning
• Bundle the SDK for distribution with correct signing and version control
• Handle App Store release steps and beta distribution
• Shape public interfaces and documentation that outside developers will consume
• Tune performance of live on-device inference
• Carry features from design through phased rollout, monitoring, and incident response

What they asked for

• At least three years building native iOS apps in Swift
• Prior experience shipping iOS SDKs, including packaging, API design, and docs
• Working knowledge of App Store Connect, TestFlight, and the submission workflow
• Comfort with ARKit-based AR experiences
• Practical use of on-device ML frameworks such as CoreML
• Familiarity with Apple's image analysis framework
• Strong debugging and profiling habits with Apple's performance tools and GPU debugger

Nice to have

• Computer vision work outside Apple's own frameworks
• Background in retail technology or inventory systems
• Bridging native SDKs into React Native or Expo
• Experience automating builds and releases with Fastlane
