About the Company

Visionly LLC is building transformational learning platforms at the frontier of AI and Spatial Computing. Our mission is to make education more intuitive, interactive, and inspiring for learners of all ages.


Our first product, Space Vision, is revolutionizing astronomy education by making it possible to experience space first-hand with Apple VisionOS (starting with the Vision Pro). The app is featured by Apple as one of the "Best Apps for Apple Vision Pro" and has been downloaded by 100K+ space educators and enthusiasts.

We are a small, agile team with a clear vision and a culture built around curiosity, ownership, and craft. If you yearn to design at the cutting edge of education, AI, and spatial computing, you will thrive here.


About the Role

We are seeking a potential Co-founding Developer to help accelerate the next phase of Space Vision’s product evolution. This is a part-time, portfolio-driven opportunity designed for a senior individual contributor who wants meaningful ownership, real shipping experience on visionOS, and the chance to shape the future of education with AI and spatial computing.


You will work directly with the founding team to build core immersive learning experiences, including an AI-powered guide and a gamification system that rewards learning progress. High performers will be considered for equity participation as the product and collaboration mature.


This role is ideal for someone who has shipped Apple platform apps and is either already fluent in visionOS or excited to go deep very quickly.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and ship core features for Space Vision using SwiftUI on visionOS
  • Develop immersive spatial experiences using RealityKit and ARKit, with strong attention to performance, interaction comfort, and clarity
  • Own feature implementation end to end, from concept through release and iteration
  • Collaborate with founders on product, technical, and roadmap planning and decisions
  • Integrate with backend services such as Firebase for data, user state, and analytics
  • Contribute to lightweight technical standards that keep the team fast without unnecessary process (CI, testing, code-reviews, release cadence, performance budgets)
  • Oversee App Store releases: TestFlight, metadata, crash analytics, post-launch fixes
  • Influence product direction to maximize adoption, retention and monetization


Desired Qualifications

  • Proven experience shipping production apps on Apple platforms (App Store Connect & TestFlight workflow)
  • Expert-level Swift 6 & SwiftUI (you write idiomatic async/await, combine, and know the pitfalls of data-flow in reactive UIs)
  • Hands-on experience with or strong ability to quickly ramp into visionOS development, Reality Composer Pro toolkit (ShaderGraph, PBR materials, mesh import/retopology, lighting setups, spatial audio)
  • Practical experience with RealityKit and ARKit, or equivalent 3D or real-time interactive systems.Senior-level individual contributor mindset with the ability to scope work, make decisions, and execute independently
  • Automated testing in Xcode - writing and maintaining unit, integration, and UI tests (XCTest, RealityKit simulation APIs, or similar)
  • 3D math intuition - linear algebra, quaternions, coordinate-space conversions, and physics basics come naturally
  • Comfort working in early-stage venture with evolving requirements and high ownership
  • Git-centric collaboration - feature branches, PR reviews, semantic commits, and conflict resolution are second nature
  • Strong skills in debugging, testing, and optimizing code for performance and scalability
  • Clear communication skills and ability to collaborate asynchronously in a remote team
  • Demonstrated passion for Apple platforms, VisionOS, education, and astronomy


(Portfolio encouraged but not required. Submit any sample work you believe demonstrates relevant skills or potential to succeed in this role.)


Preferred Qualifications

  • Shipped apps for Apple Vision Pro or participated in visionOS betas or projects using VisionOS, RealityKit & ARKit and can architect with latest available features
  • GPU/Memory debugging, profiling and optimization with Xcode and Metal
  • Background in graphics, simulation, spatial UX, or interactive education tools
  • 3D/spatial, motion, and emerging interface design work with Blender / Unity / After Effects or similar for quick model tweaks, UV mapping, and baking textures
  • Experience integrating AI-powered features or working with AI APIs
  • Prior experience as an early engineer or founding developer at a startup
  • Background in product design, UI/UX development, and software engineering principles
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field


What We Offer

  • Founding Fellowship with a chance to build for a new platform at the intersection of education, AI and spatial computing
  • Opportunity to bolster your portfolio with a product already downloaded by 100K+ learners and educators
  • Potential for discretionary equity or paid compensation based on company and individual results upon reaching monetization and/or venture funding milestones
  • Direct partnership with founding team
  • Creative freedom to explore and push the limits of spatial computing for education
  • Fully remote flexibility with preferred collaboration hours between 1 pm and 4 pm US Eastern


Founding Fellowship does not provide wages, fees, equity, or guaranteed compensation
