We're building the next generation of travel and expense (T&E) technology using AI and large language models. Our mobile platform blends cutting-edge AI with strong product and UX so travelers get an intelligent companion, not just another booking app. The app should understand needs, anticipate requests, and deliver personalized help through conversational UI and rich, immersive interactions.
You'll work at the intersection of AI and mobile, helping define how travelers interact with this kind of product on iOS.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design and ship innovative UX patterns for conversational interfaces and AI-driven experiences on iOS
- Architect and build Swift-first, production grade features using async/await, structured concurrency and modern iOS APIs
- Lead implementation of context-aware experiences using behavior, preferences, and app state with an emphasis on performance and privacy
- Use metrics, experimentation, and validation (analytics, A/B tests, logging) to iterate on features and improve quality over time
- Turn complex AI/ML capabilities into simple, intuitive mobile interactions
- Use AI tools (e.g., Claude Code / LLM-based coding assistants) to accelerate development while maintaining a high-quality, well-tested codebase
- Collaborate across product, design, and backend in a fast-moving environment
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of professional development experience with strong Swift skills, building high quality iOS apps
- Deep understanding of Swift and the iOS SDK, including:
- Swift concurrency (async/await, Task, actors), structured concurrency, and modern GCD usage
- SwiftUI for building production UIs; familiarity with UIKit and interoperability is a plus
- Experience with Combine or other reactive patterns, and when to prefer them vs. async/await
- Strong grasp of iOS architecture (e.g., MVVM, Clean Architecture, modularization) suitable for AI-powered, stateful, and real-time features
- Solid understanding of JSON, REST, WebSockets, streaming APIs and robust networking layers (error handling, retries, offline support)
- Experience with offline storage, background processing, threading and push notifications
- Curiosity about new interaction models (chat, agents, multimodal UI, etc.)
- Experience using AI development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) as part of your workflow, with good judgment about code quality and security
- Familiarity with LLM-driven features (prompt design, integrating LLM APIs, handling latency, fallbacks, guardrails) and/or conversational UX
- Track record building consumer-facing apps; ideally you've shipped to the App Store and iterated from user feedback and metrics
- BS in Computer Science or related technical field

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an Ios Software Engineer
Align your degree to the role
USCIS scrutinizes whether your specific degree field directly relates to iOS engineering. A computer science or software engineering degree maps cleanly. An unrelated degree requires a detailed equivalency argument supported by transcripts and employer documentation.
Filter employers by LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to search iOS Software Engineer roles filtered by employers with active H-1B Labor Condition Application filings. This cuts through postings where sponsorship is listed as possible but the employer has no documented filing track record.
Check the prevailing wage before negotiating
Look up the wage level for your target metro area using the OFLC Wage Search before any salary discussion. Your offer must meet the certified LCA wage, so knowing the Level I through Level IV range prevents late-stage offer complications.
Target cap-exempt institutions for faster timelines
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government research entities are cap-exempt H-1B employers. iOS engineering roles at these institutions can be filed and approved year-round without waiting for the annual April lottery window.
Confirm your employer files concurrently with premium processing
Standard H-1B adjudication can take three to six months. Ask during the offer stage whether the employer uses premium processing, which shortens USCIS review to 15 business days and gives you a predictable start-date timeline.
Document your Swift and Xcode expertise for the LCA
Employers need to substantiate the specialty occupation claim. Gather evidence of platform-specific skills, such as App Store submissions, framework contributions, or iOS-specific certifications, that the employer can reference when the LCA is prepared and USCIS reviews the petition.

Find Ios Software Engineer JobsIos Software Engineer H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an iOS Software Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes. iOS Software Engineer roles consistently qualify as H-1B specialty occupations because the position normally requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a directly related field. The O*NET profile for software developers classifies the role in Job Zone 4, which USCIS treats as strong evidence of specialty occupation status. Your employer documents this qualification in the H-1B petition.
How do I find iOS Software Engineer jobs where employers will actually sponsor H-1B visas?
Search on Migrate Mate, which filters iOS Software Engineer roles by employers with verified H-1B Labor Condition Application filing history through DOL. A job posting that says 'sponsorship available' without a filing record is a weaker signal than one from an employer who has consistently filed LCAs for software engineering roles in your target metro.
What happens to my H-1B status if I switch iOS engineering jobs mid-visa period?
You can transfer to a new H-1B employer under portability rules once your current H-1B has been approved and you've maintained valid status. Your new employer files an H-1B transfer petition, and you can start working as soon as USCIS receives it, without waiting for approval. The new employer must still file a certified LCA for the role and location before submitting.
Does working remotely affect my H-1B sponsorship as an iOS engineer?
Yes, materially. Your H-1B is tied to the worksite locations listed on the certified LCA. If you work remotely from a city not covered by that LCA, your employer must file an amended LCA and potentially an amended H-1B petition with USCIS. iOS engineers who move between metro areas or shift to full-remote arrangements should confirm their employer updates the LCA before the new worksite becomes active.
Can a startup sponsor my H-1B for an iOS engineering role?
Yes, but the employer must demonstrate financial ability to pay the certified prevailing wage through the full H-1B validity period. USCIS looks at tax returns, audited financials, or net income relative to the offered salary. Early-stage startups without sufficient documentation face higher RFE rates, so it's worth asking the employer directly what evidence they plan to include before accepting an offer contingent on sponsorship.
