Founding iOS Engineer to build the app's core intelligence layer. Must implement production CallKit and on-device continuous Speech Framework recognition, integrate with SwiftUI/CoreData, and optionally add Dynamic Island Live Activity via WidgetKit. Equity-only founding role; product details under NDA.
Founding iOS Engineer — Equity Only
PhoCall Inc. is a native iOS application for sales professionals — pre-launch, New York C Corporation, properly structured. This is an equity position. No salary at this stage.
We are looking for one Founding iOS Engineer with production experience in CallKit and Speech Framework to build the core intelligence layer of the product. The UI is complete. What remains is the most consequential component in the architecture.
This role requires:
- Production CallKit experience in a live App Store app — non-negotiable
- Speech Framework experience — continuous on-device recognition — non-negotiable
- SwiftUI and CoreData depth
- Dynamic Island Live Activity via WidgetKit — strong plus
This is a founding-level equity position in a properly structured company. IP Assignment, Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, and contractor agreements all prepared by counsel before a line of code is written.
The product details are shared under NDA. If your background includes live App Store experience with CallKit and Speech Framework, we'd like to hear from you.

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google

- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
