About the role

Responsibilities

  • Build the mechanics that make a product spread including referral systems, social sharing flows, engagement loops, and real-time features that drive Acorns’ organic growth
  • Own features end-to-end from data model to shipped customer experience, across mobile and web, with full accountability for quality and performance in production
  • Deliver features end-to-end across iOS, Android, Web, and backend services, leveraging AI-assisted development tools to accelerate work in less-familiar codebases
  • Instrument your work properly: define the events, build the visibility, and use data to iterate fast

  • Partner directly with the CEO, a Senior PM, and a Senior Designer in a tight, high-trust team that moves fast and ships things people actually use

Qualifications

  • Shipped production features across more than one client platform (iOS, Android, or Web) - depth in at least one and ability to ramp others
  • Instrumented a growth or engagement feature with analytics events and used the data to drive meaningful iteration
  • Worked in a fast-moving, low-process environment where you drove your own work without waiting to be told what to build next
  • Used AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Copilot, or similar code-generation tools) as accelerators
  • Written production code in Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Typescript, Dart, or Python
  • Built something (side project, open source tool, game mechanic) by choice
