about us
Budget Bestie is a popular iOS budgeting app focused on making budgeting easy for everyone.
We're a small team looking for our first engineer to work alongside us from our Westmount office. As an early hire, you'll have high ownership and real impact. We move fast, ship often, and don't have meetings about meetings.
the role
You'll work directly with the technical founder shipping features and owning production systems. This is hands-on work, not meetings about meetings.
what you'll do:
- Ship features across our iOS app (Swift/SwiftUI) and Python backend (FastAPI, PostgreSQL)
- Own production systems - debugging, monitoring, keeping things running
- Review code and maintain quality standards
- Make technical decisions with the founder, not just execute tickets
you
- 5+ years shipping production software
- Strong in Python or iOS (can pick up the other)
- Comfortable using AI tools in your development workflow
- Care about code quality but ship pragmatically
- Want to work in-person daily from our Westmount office
- Based in Edmonton or willing to relocate
bonus: You actually care about budgeting and personal finance - building something you'd use yourself makes the work better
