Job description
We’re looking for iOS Engineers to join our team. As part of a cross-functional scrum team you will design and develop new investment account and cash account features within our iOS app. In addition to development on the app itself, you will write automated tests and integrate with our in-house design systems and our backend API. Come help our clients and prospective clients build wealth on their own terms!
About Wealthfront Engineering
Wealthfront’s culture centers around continuous learning, innovation, and quality-driven software development. With high quality software as our ultimate engineering objective, our key tactic is automation:
• Wealthfront software automates the financial services we provide to our clients, and within these services we automate the collection of data that we learn from on our way to making our services even better.
• Wealthfront engineers function as builder/operators, with dual responsibility for building the system and operating it in production. Any toil that this brings about is automated away by engineers. This investment in automation is expected, and the prioritization of it is always built into our planning and execution.
• Wealthfront engineers automate our development processes. For example, Wealthfront engineers automate all of our testing. Manual testing is not part of the software development lifecycle at Wealthfront.
• Wealthfront engineers automate observability in case of failure. If something is up, our systems inform engineers appropriately. If our systems are quiet, they are healthy.
If you are drawn to being an engineer within such an environment, and having outsized impact as an engineer at a magnitude that is only available within a company achieving greatness at our size (~350 employees, half in engineering), then we want to hear from you!
As a core member of the team, you will:
Build a premier native iOS application
Take ownership of large, complex projects from ideation through execution and delivery.
Collaborate with product, design, and engineering leadership to shape the roadmap and deliver a seamless and delightful user experience.
Work with frontend and backend engineers to design, build and test reusable REST APIs
Design and build high-quality infrastructure; making the right tradeoffs for risk and long-term maintainability
Get an opportunity to work with leadership to define the team's priorities and initiatives
Work independently, use available resources to get unblocked, and complete tasks on schedule by exercising strong judgment and problem-solving skills
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to peers
Ensure our iOS app and iOS CI systems operate smoothly in production by triaging and resolving operational issues as part of a team of on-call engineers
This role could be a fit if you have:
2 - 6 years of professional iOS development experience
Deep expertise with Swift and iOS frameworks - knowledge of Objective-C is a plus but not required
Experience creating complex and performant user interfaces with UIKit and/or SwiftUI
Experience writing unit tests and testable code
A track record of delivering high-quality, testable, and maintainable code.
Excellent problem solving, critical thinking and communication skills
BS or MS in computer science, related field, or equivalent professional experience
Once you join, Wealthfront will:
Pair you with a mentor who will guide you through our structured onboarding program
Involve you in cross-functional planning and technical strategy discussions.
Support your professional development by providing feedback during weekly 1:1s and our semi-annual reviews
Empower you with autonomy and ownership over impactful initiatives that shape the future of our iOS platform.
Estimated annual salary range: $150,000 - $189,000 plus equity and a discretionary bonus.
Benefits include medical, vision, dental, 401K plan, generous time off, parental leave, wellness reimbursements, professional development, employee investing discount, and more!
About Wealthfront
Here at Wealthfront, our mission is to create a financial system that favors people, not institutions. We do this by leveraging technology to build powerful, low-cost, and easy-to-use financial products that help modern investors grow and manage their money.
We started with the ambition to transform the investment advisory industry when we pioneered automated investing in 2011. By automating strategies typically reserved for the wealthy, we unlocked access to high quality investment advice for a digitally-native generation that was underserved by traditional institutions. Since then, we've expanded to a full suite of products designed to help our clients save, spend, invest, and borrow for all of their goals, including:
•A Cash Account that, through our program banks, offers one of the highest annual percentage yields on uninvested cash in the industry, while providing instant and secure access to your money with no account fees and a full suite of checking features.
• Multiple automated investing portfolios managed for you and tailored for long-term wealth building across various financial needs, including general investing, retirement, family wealth management, and more. Our taxable investing accounts are designed to unlock tax savings through sophisticated strategies like fixed income, tax-loss harvesting, and direct indexing—which we offer at industry-leading low costs and accessible minimums.
• A zero-commission Brokerage Account with 8000+ stocks and ETFs that’s designed to give DIY investors an incredibly easy way to get started investing. Plus, with our Cash Account, they can earn a high yield (from program banks) until the minute they’re ready to invest.
• A digital-first mortgage experience designed to reduce costs, remove unnecessary friction, and aim to offer rates consistently below the national average.
Our award-winning products have attracted over 1.5 million funded clients who trust us with more than $100 billion of their hard earned savings on our platform—and we're far from done. If you’re inspired to help us reshape the financial industry as we create our next chapter, let’s talk!
