Communication belongs to everyone. TextNow is one of the largest providers of free phone service in North America, connecting tens of millions of people who would otherwise be priced out of staying in touch. We pair a free, ad-supported tier with paid plans and a growing set of intelligent features — and we run it on infrastructure we own and operate. We move fast, we measure what we ship, and we treat AI as a core part of how we build, not a side experiment.
Do As a Software Developer on iOS, you'll own the systems, architecture, and tooling behind apps used by millions — operating strategically across mobile, backend, and data, and diving into the lowest-level details when the problem demands it. This is an AI-first role: using AI is not optional, it's the expectation. We anticipate the majority of the code you ship will be AI-generated, with you as the architect, reviewer, and final authority on quality, correctness, and design. You'll have access to the latest and greatest AI development tools, and you'll help build our AI harness — the agents, workflows, evaluations, and guardrails the rest of engineering relies on. We hire across multiple levels (intermediate, senior, staff+) and align title and scope to demonstrated impact, not years on a résumé.
We're raising the bar. This role is not a fit for developers early in building production systems, and our screen reflects that. Strong candidates will clear most of the following:
We're transitioning from hiring coders to hiring technologists — people who exercise judgment, learn relentlessly, and use AI as a force multiplier, rather than people who simply execute tickets. For the senior candidates this role targets, that judgment shows up as a track record.
The strongest engineers we've hired share a set of traits. We screen for them directly, so come ready with specific examples:
