Staff Software Engineer (iOS)

Harmonic is the startup discovery engine.

It pains us to see great startup opportunities consistently go undiscovered every day. And it doesn't happen due to lack of talent, but lack of signal. 

We're fixing that by mapping the entire startup landscape and building the tools that put the right companies in front of the right people at the right time. Investors, corporate development, and GTM teams at Anthropic, OpenAI, General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins, Brex and Notion use us to find breakout companies before they're obvious and turn that discovery into action. Whether that's a check, an acquisition, partnership or won business. 

We’re growing revenue at a rate of 100%+ annually and powering thousands of workflows. Backed by $30M from Craft, Floodgate, and Sozo Ventures, we're committed to using frontier technology to shine a light on private markets. If that resonates, let's talk. 

Flow is Harmonic’s next generation AI-native workflow tool; the central operating hub for venture capital, collapsing multiple traditional software categories into one platform for sourcing, researching and triaging investment opportunities.

Flow turns Harmonic into a system of record and context - enabling customers to sync their internal network and business data and combine it with Harmonic’s knowledge graph of tens of millions of companies and hundreds of millions of people, each enriched with 400+ dimensions. This enables context-aware, actionable workflows and insights (agentic and otherwise) - at scale.

While Flow has strong initial traction from users, it is still in its early days - you will be key in releasing and marketing the product widely, and scaling up the user base.
