About Medal

At Medal, we’re redefining the way gamers connect, share, and relive their greatest in-game moments. Our platform makes it easy to clip, edit, and share gaming content—whether you're capturing a legendary headshot or just hanging with friends in voice chat. Over 2 million gamers use Medal every month to showcase their moments, and we’re just getting started.

We're a fast-moving team backed by top-tier investors. Our culture is builder-first: we move quickly, make decisions with creators in mind, and aren’t afraid to challenge conventions when it improves the product.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to take our mobile app to the next level.

• Swift Concurrency and Reactive programming experience

• Experience working on complex real-time apps, video/media-heavy workflows, or social applications

• Obsession with quality of code and interfaces

• Practiced at using analytics, testing, user feedback, bug, and crash reports to inform app development

• Experience using REST APIs and working with backend teams to accomplish product goals

• A love for gaming, however you define it!

• You read and write well and can communicate and collaborate both synchronously and asynchronously

Bonus Points

• Can develop on both Android and iOS

• Experience with other Apple technologies - Objective-C, iPadOS, macOS, etc.

• Experience working with video on mobile (performance, encoding, AVFoundation etc.) a plus

• Maintenance of CI systems – Xcode Cloud is a plus

Why Join Us

At Medal, you’ll have the autonomy to make an impact from Day 1. You’ll join a team that values humility, curiosity, and momentum—and you’ll help shape the future of how gamers share and connect around the moments that matter most.
