About us
Aave Labs began with a simple question: how do we make financial services like borrowing, saving, and earning more accessible globally?
We built the Aave Protocol, now the world’s largest and most trusted onchain lending market, connecting decentralized finance with individuals, traditional finance, and fintech.
Today, we build trusted, high-quality products that expand access to lending, credit, and savings globally
Our culture
We build trusted products that help people access and discover economic opportunities.
We hold a high bar for quality and craftsmanship. No detail is too small. Trust depends on it.
We’re a global team building products people can actually use, turning complex technology into something simple and reliable.
We stay aligned, move quickly, and think long term, while keeping teams lean and focused on impact.
About the role
We’re looking for a Staff iOS Mobile Engineer to help lead and shape the highly anticipated Aave app. You’ll build high-quality, secure and intuitive experiences across our ecosystem while working closely with design, product and engineering teams. This role offers meaningful ownership, deep technical impact, and the opportunity to push the boundaries of mobile and blockchain UX.
How you can make an impact:
- Develop and ship new features for Aave’s mobile app using UIKit, maintaining a scalable and reliable codebase
- Integrate core blockchain functionality, including wallet connectivity, transaction signing, on-chain data reads, gas estimation, and account-abstraction flows
- Build secure wallet and key-management interfaces, and deliver real-time data experiences such as balances, yield updates, and notifications
- Collaborate closely with designers to deliver pixel-perfect UI, refined interactions, and a cohesive mobile design system
- Work with backend and protocol engineers to integrate on-chain/off-chain data, supply/bridge/vault flows, and analytics
- Optimise app performance across memory, battery, cold-start time, and overall responsiveness
- Partner cross-functionally on requirements, timelines, security reviews, code quality, and long-term architecture
Let's connect if you have:
- 5+ years building consumer mobile apps, including 3+ years with UIKit and strong Swift proficiency
- Deep knowledge of mobile architecture, navigation, animations, and native module integration
- Experience integrating blockchain features (wallets, transactions, gas, RPCs) and familiarity with account abstraction is a plus
- Proven ability to ship polished, design-precise mobile experiences with strong UX sensibilities
- Experience with secure storage, encryption, and managing sensitive user data
- Comfortable owning large product areas end-to-end and collaborating in fast-moving, cross-functional teams
