Atlas | the wearable that reads your brain
<aside>
⚡
TL;DR
- We build Atlas: a brain-tracking wearable and the full software stack behind it. The iOS app is the product surface — it pairs the device, streams the brain data, and turns it into something a person understands.
- You'll own features end-to-end: from the BLE stream coming off someone's head, through the app architecture, to the SwiftUI screen they tap every morning.
- Stack: Swift 6, SwiftUI, TCA, Swift Concurrency, CoreBluetooth, a Tuist-modularised workspace, snapshot-tested, shipped through GitHub Actions.
- This is not a wrapper around a REST API. Real hardware, real signal, real BLE edge cases, DFU firmware updates in-app.
- If you also happen to be deep in BLE/Rust or iOS release engineering, you're the unicorn we don't dare hope for — read the section below.
- The bar is high. Small team, real ownership, no passengers.

Who we are
Atlas is a brain-computer interface you can actually wear. Real hardware streaming real brain activity, an iOS app people use every day, and a machine-learning pipeline that turns that signal into something meaningful.
This is not a CRUD app with a nice design system on top. The problems are harder, the stack is deeper, and the code you write talks to a physical device sitting on someone's head. We're a small software team moving fast across the whole system — firmware-adjacent BLE all the way up to the screens our users live in.
And here's the part that matters if you've watched thin software wrappers get commoditized by every new model drop: our moat is physical. Proprietary hardware, a real signal no one else has, and years of R&D you can't prompt your way around. An AI can rebuild a habit-tracker app in a weekend — it can't build a wearable that reads your brain. This is a hardware company shipping a genuinely new product. We're not a feature waiting to be absorbed. We're here to stay.
What you'll build
You'll own vertical slices of the app, not tickets. A typical piece of work runs the full depth of the client:
- The screen — SwiftUI, in a TCA feature module, snapshot-tested.
- The state — a reducer that survives a device disconnecting mid-recording, an app backgrounded halfway through, and a user who force-quits.
- The device — CoreBluetooth via our own async-stream BLE package: scan, connect, configure, record, push firmware over DFU.
- The data — recordings uploaded to the backend, results streamed back over SSE, insights rendered in charts.
Concretely: Benchmark, Insights, Rituals, Device Pairing, Positioning, Firmware Update.
Who we're looking for
- Senior. You've shipped iOS apps real people use, ideally at an early-stage startup where you owned a lot with little scaffolding. App Store and GitHub links beat CV bullets.
- Deep in modern Swift. Swift 6 and strict concurrency don't scare you — actors,
Sendable, @MainActor, AsyncStream, and a data race you've debugged on a real device.
- Architecture-literate. You've worked in a unidirectional/reducer architecture in a modularised codebase, you model state so impossible states can't exist, and you inject dependencies instead of reaching for singletons. We're on TCA; if you come from another discipline, you'll pick it up fast.
- Comfortable near the hardware. Flaky connections, background modes, byte-level parsing — or an appetite for them. Half our hardest bugs have no local repro, just logs and a user who says "it stopped," and you're the person who reads them instead of guessing.
