Founding iOS Mobile SDK Platform Engineer (Onsite - SF)

Who we are

About Seam

Seam is building a platform for software developers to connect and manage smart devices in buildings, like locks, thermostats, and intercoms. It provides a way for software applications, like Airbnb, Zillow, and WeWork, to easily interact with and control these devices across various brands and technologies, streamlining the process of building and scaling smart home and building applications.

Seam is backed by Tiger Global, Root VC, founders and execs at Stripe, Plaid, and Airbnb, and other amazing angels and funds.

About the team

The Seam Mobile SDK allows developers to build mobile applications that communicate with smart devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC. Our goal is to develop SDKs in various languages including Swift, Objective C, Kotlin, and Java. We also aim to create a code generation framework to produce SDKs and documentation snippets.

Seam was founded to make it easier for developers to automate the physical world. We are dedicated to providing a world class experience for developers using our API and SDKs. While we’ve solved a small part of that problem, our ambition is to go much further.
