Member of Technical Staff (iOS Engineer, Computer Growth)

Role Overview

The Growth team owns the product loops that help people discover, adopt, and build lasting habits around our most important AI experiences — and on mobile that means owning everything from the App Store listing to the first task a user finishes to the moment they upgrade.

What You Will Do

Design, build, and own growth surfaces across the mobile funnel — install, activation, onboarding, lifecycle, conversion, retention, and paid upgrade moments — on iOS.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Growth at Perplexity goes beyond incremental funnel optimization. The team sits close to the core product — we translate behavioral signals, model outputs, and fast experimentation into durable product surfaces used across consumer and enterprise workflows.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional mobile engineering experience shipping consumer apps at meaningful scale on iOS.
• Strong native skills (eg. Swift/SwiftUI/Objective-C) — and the willingness to flex into other parts of the stack to unblock yourself and others.
• Experience owning a full release cycle: build and release tooling, phased rollouts, store review, crash and regression monitoring, and rolling back safely.
• Strong execution: you ship many experiments and product improvements in parallel and drive them to a clear outcome.
• Familiarity with A/B testing and experimentation platforms (Eppo, Statsig, Optimizely, or in-house equivalents) especially inside a versioned app.
• Comfort data-informed decision-making — you can pull, segment, and interpret your own funnel data.
• Strong product judgment; you translate user behavior and growth opportunities into simple, effective technical solutions.
• Self-motivated with strong ownership instincts; you propose experiments, ship features ahead of schedule, and drive improvements without asking for permission.
• Genuine interest and adoption of AI products and willingness to learn quickly.

Benefits

• Craftsmanship. We build high quality, tasteful products targeting both the AI native and AI curious.
• Ownership. You identify the problem, design the solution, and ship it.
• Entrepreneurship. We think like founders, act with urgency, and hustle to deliver for each other and our users.
• Scholarship. Work among highly talented peers, pursuing knowledge and truth, upleveling ourselves, our teams, and our products.
• Partnership. We amplify each others’ strengths, break down silos, and give selflessly to help our colleagues deliver excellence.
