Mobile Developer iOS Internship

Salary Unpaid

FlavorScale is moving from Proof of Concept to Global Scale. While Flutter served us for our initial MVP, we are now architecting a high-performance Native iOS app designed to handle a worldwide rollout. We are looking for an iOS Developer Intern (or postgrad working student) to be a foundational architect of this new codebase.

We are building a native experience that will eventually live on the home screens of food-obsessed users from Tokyo to New York. You’ll work directly with the CTO and CEO to ensure FlavorScale is fast, fluid, and scalable.

Who You Are

  • Background: Currently studying Computer Science or Software Engineering, or a postgrad/working student looking to add a "Global Scale" project to their portfolio.

  • The Swift Craftsman: You live and breathe the Apple ecosystem. You have a deep understanding of Swift and SwiftUI and know exactly why Native is the only way to deliver a world-class user experience.

  • Portfolio-Driven: You lead with your work. You have a GitHub or a portfolio of apps that demonstrate clean architecture, attention to detail, and a passion for mobile engineering.

  • Scalability Mindset: You don't just build for 1,000 users; you think about 1,000,000. You want to write code that is modular, documented, and ready for internationalization.

  • Vibe: You have the "Global Tech" energy. You’re not just a coder; you’re a builder who wants to see their work used in every major food city on the planet.

Your Daily Mission

  • The Native Rebuild: Work alongside the CTO to translate our MVP logic into a robust, native iOS architecture.

  • World-Class UI: Use SwiftUI to build a buttery-smooth interface that sets the standard for discovery apps globally.

  • API & Data Architecture: Connect our new native frontend to a backend designed for global traffic and high-velocity data flow.

  • Performance Optimization: Ensure the app stays lightning-fast even as we add complex data visualizations and "Full-Flow" partner metrics.

  • Feature Innovation: Propose and build native-only features (Haptics, Widgets, Advanced Maps) that elevate the user experience beyond the competition.

The Opportunity

This is a work-based internship or a "Masterclass" exercise for a postgrad. You are getting the rare opportunity to lead a Native Transition for a global-facing startup. While we cannot promise permanent roles—as our key hires depend on the 2026/2027 investment cycles—this is our Primary Engineering Pipeline. If you help us build the platform that conquers the industry, you will be the first candidate for our Lead iOS positions.

Specific Requirements

  • Location: Remote-First (Located within EU).

  • Tech Stack: Strong proficiency in Swift and SwiftUI.

  • Portfolio: Mandatory. We want to see the "why" and "how" behind your code.

  • Status: Open to Bachelor/Master students or Working Students (Postgrads).

  • Language: Fluent in English (Our global language).

Working at
FlavorScale

FlavorScale is a next-generation foodtech startup focused on revolutionizing how Gen Z discovers and connects with eateries. We solve the problem of fragmented, outdated, and inauthentic food discovery experiences that leave young food lovers scrolling endlessly yet never quite finding places that truly match their tastes and vibes. Current platforms often prioritize ads, generic ratings, or logistics rather than capturing the authentic culinary experience and community connection young users crave. FlavorScale’s platform is video-first and AI-powered, delivering engaging, personalized, and authentic food recommendations by harnessing behavioral data and smart algorithms. We bridge the gap between foodies and restaurants, empowering users to explore and share real experiences, and helping eateries reach the right audience with data-driven insights. Our live MVP has proven product-market fit, with strong success in Copenhagen, and we’re now preparing to scale through a larger pilot in a major Northwestern European city. By focusing exclusively on food discovery for Gen Z and combining community, AI, and real-time data, FlavorScale is poised to transform food discovery from a fragmented chore into an engaging, authentic, and efficient experience that benefits both consumers and the food industry. FlavorScale is building the definitive food discovery platform for Gen Z, video-first, AI-powered, and community-driven. Our MVP is live on Firebase, pre-pilot nailed strong traction in Copenhagen (our biggest win), and we're now scaling for a major Northwestern Europe launch with data insights that restaurants and brands crave. Why FlavorScale? Real momentum: Proven product-market fit from live MVP and pilots. Next: bigger city rollout, 2026 Q2 funding round, AI personalization at scale. Founding-level impact: Join a young, driven team as we build the core stack (Firebase, ML recs, event pipelines) with equity and ownership from day one. Foodtech at its best: Blend cutting-edge tech (React Native, Google Cloud, recommendation engines) with real-world testing in top food cities like Copenhagen, London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam. High-agency culture: Ship weekly, collaborate daily, iterate from user data. In-person team time in Denmark/Netherlands (relocation supported).
