About Sandbar

Sandbar is an interface company in New York City. We aim to bridge gaps, to better navigate the world around & inside each of us. Our north star is self extension.

Our team has built consumer products across Meta, CTRL-labs, Google, Apple, Fitbit, Peloton, and Equinox.

Our first product, Stream, is a new way to capture thoughts—a private voice ring and conversational notepad.

Stream has been featured in WSJ, Bloomberg, Fast Company, and Wired, and begins shipping in Summer '26.

About

We’re looking for a senior iOS product engineer to help build Stream, the bedrock of a new conversational interface. The Stream iOS app touches every aspect of our user experience; including device-cloud connectivity, on-device processing, UIUX, and more. You’ll work closely with design, firmware, and backend engineers to create a technically rigorous experience that ultimately feels simple.

Responsibilities

  • Own iOS product delivery—including architecture (Swift), metrics-driven optimization, testing, and releases

  • Work closely with backend services (Websocket) and device integrations (BLE) for low-latency, always-available human-computer interactions

  • Work with product, design, and GTM to ship releases, gather insights, iterate, and improve our experiences for end-users

Qualifications

  • 5+ years building and shipping interactive mobile (iOS) applications

  • Strong proficiency in Swift and complex interactive app development.

  • Deep experience in OS-level integrations such as media control or on-device ML

  • Experience in Python-based servers and the iOS Bluetooth stack are a plus

  • Strong interdisciplinary communication

  • Strong ownership, comfort with ambiguity, and technical output

  • Passion for end-user delight and human-computer interfaces

FTE Benefits

  • Health, vision, and dental benefits

  • Unlimited PTO and sick time

  • Early stage equity

Compensation Range: $160K - $220K
