What are the responsibilities and job description for the iOS Engineering Lead position at flourish?
Since 2017, Flourish has been on a mission to help financial advisors evolve from holistic advice to holistic implementation to more fully serve their clients and achieve better outcomes. We focus on independent Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), delivering financial products that advisors can’t easily access today through beautiful, scalable, and easy-to-use technology.
Today, we work with over 900 RIAs that collectively represent more than $1.6T in assets under management across two products — Flourish Annuities and Flourish Cash — and with our recent acquisition of Sora Finance, we’ll be adding a lending offering in 2026. Headquartered in New York City, we are an independently-operating, wholly-owned subsidiary of MassMutual Life Insurance Company.
Read on if you are interested in joining a small, highly-collaborative, rapidly-growing startup—backed by the support and stability of a Fortune 500 company.
About You
You are an engineer, first and foremost. You can rapidly build and iterate on products that will delight users, with best practices in terms of both software development and security. You thrive in a work environment that requires strong problem solving skills and independent self-direction, coupled with an aptitude for team collaboration and open communication. You are a strong communicator, explaining complex technical concepts to designers, support, and other engineers is no problem for you. You have a high level of empathy for users, and you incorporate that into the products that you build.
You possess strong computer science fundamentals and UI/UX sensibilities. You are interested and excited to build and own apps from top to bottom, from a delightful UI all the way down to data management and networking. And finally, your accomplishments are much more important than your paper credentials.
About the Role
Our mission is to provide innovative access to financial products that help RIAs secure their clients’ financial futures and the Flourish Engineers play a key role in doing just that. Flourish has a mature technology platform and products that resonate in the market, and we are seeking a first hire in a new mobile group to bring the Flourish platform from zero to one on iOS.
You will develop a deep understanding of our technology, the Flourish business, and the needs and habits of our existing user base. You will partner with product managers, business leaders, and fellow engineers to solve complex business problems with software and deliver commercially feasible and viable solutions. Working closely with the engineering teams, you will bring ideas from the whiteboard to reality on mobile screens, making key architectural decisions, developing the tech scope and strategy for mobile, and performing code and architecture reviews. You will leverage your knowledge of mobile development on iOS to deliver our app to customers, including building, testing and deployment to the App Store.
