About Us
Alice Camera is a new category-defining AI-powered professional camera that attaches to your smartphone and is built to streamline the production of creators and content businesses. By combining professional quality optics with AI-accelerated hardware and computational photography algorithms driven by AI, the team is offering a device more suited to a fast-paced content lifestyle.
The company has raised venture-capital funding and received grant funding from Innovate UK, having gone through accelerators run by Entrepreneur First, UCL, and the Digital Catapult. We have also received international recognition, having been covered by WIRED and Wallpaper magazine, and was voted by TechRadar as one of the most exciting camera releases in the world.
The Role
We're searching for a highly motivated and experienced Mobile App Engineer to join our core engineering team and take ownership of our iOS app. You will be instrumental in shaping the user experience for our groundbreaking camera technology. While your primary focus will be iOS development using Swift, your ability to understand and review Android (Kotlin) code will be crucial in ensuring cross-platform consistency.
What will you be doing?
* Design, develop, and maintain high-quality iOS applications using Swift.
* Collaborate closely with the hardware team to ensure seamless integration between the Alice Camera and the mobile app.
* Implement and optimise features related to camera control, image processing, and user settings.
* Integrate analytics tools to gather user insights and drive product improvements.
* Manage app releases and updates, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to deadlines.
* Work closely with the product team to define and refine app features based on user feedback and market trends.
* Contribute to the development and maintenance of our Android app (Kotlin) through code reviews and collaborative problem-solving.
* Implement and manage in-app subscriptions and other monetisation features.
What makes you a good fit:
* Proven experience in developing and publishing iOS applications using Swift.
* Strong understanding of iOS frameworks and design patterns.
* Experience working with embedded hardware devices, ideally in the realm of IoT or camera systems.
* Familiarity with Android development (Kotlin) and the ability to review and understand Android code.
* Experience implementing analytics and tracking tools within mobile applications.
* Knowledge of in-app purchase and subscription management systems.
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
* A passion for technology and a desire to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
Bonus Points:
* Experience with video processing and streaming technologies.
* Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure).
* Contributions to open-source projects.
Why Join Us:
We're a team of driven individuals who thrive in a high-energy start-up environment. This role is ideally suited to someone who wants to work in a startup environment. We value:
* Innovation: Be part of a company at the forefront of AI and camera innovation.
* In-person collaboration: We believe in the power of face-to-face interaction and require this role to be based in our London office.
* Startup Grind: We work/text on weekends and at night. It's ok to send messages in the evening. Someone is either up. It's ok to call people as well if there's an emergency (and something is breaking).
* Proactive ownership: We expect you to take initiative and be accountable for your work. You're hungry to do what it takes for us to win together. Work is a key part of your fulfilment.
* Relentless execution: We move fast and are looking to push boundaries. Do in a day what usually takes weeks. Run through walls to get things done.
* Open communication: We encourage transparency and direct feedback. Respond in minutes (or seconds) instead of hours.
* Adaptability: We wear many hats and embrace challenges outside our defined roles.
* Flat company org: Titles reflect scope. No political promotion games.
Benefits:
* Starting salary (£35,000 - £40,000) based on experience.
* Eligibility for share options in Alice Camera.
* Opportunity to work on a cutting-edge product with a real-world impact.
* Be a key part of a small, highly motivated team.

We encourage hybrid working, but when you are in the office, this role will be primarily based in Camden Town in the wonderful Camden Collective building right by the canal and hustle and bustle of Camden Market. You need to be in London for in-person team meetings at least 2 times a week.
