This role is ideal for individuals who are excited by constant experimentation, adaptation, and continuous learning, rather than those seeking a highly prescriptive, traditional work environment.
• • This Senior Software Engineer, Mobile role is a critical part of the Saga team, Deepgram’s consumer-facing application. Saga is an innovative voice operating system designed for professionals, enabling them to control their tools, workflows, and environments using natural speech. It allows users to execute tasks hands-free through voice commands, seamlessly integrating with popular tools like Slack, Linear, and Notion. This significantly reduces context-switching and dramatically enhances productivity by bringing workflow control directly to the user's voice.
• • On the backend, our services are architected around robust RESTful APIs, ensuring clear, predictable contracts for data access and integration. For real-time interactions, we utilize WebSockets to deliver low-latency updates and event-driven workflows, keeping clients synchronized efficiently without the need for constant polling. This architecture provides a stable and scalable foundation for our voice-powered applications.
• • For the mobile frontend, we are committed to modern development practices. On iOS, we build with SwiftUI, leveraging Swift Package Manager (SPM) for efficient dependency management and modularity. We integrate seamlessly with our real-time backend using Socket.IO and structure our app architecture using The Composable Architecture (TCA) to ensure predictable state management, high testability, and long-term maintainability. Our Android application is developed using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, embracing modern declarative UI paradigms.

A key aspect of this role involves designing and integrating APIs using REST, which are crucial for supporting flexible, scalable data access across our diverse services. You will have the opportunity to develop deep expertise in specific areas while maintaining the flexibility to dive into new and challenging parts of the codebase as needed. Your contributions will extend to participating actively in code reviews and architecture discussions, fostering a culture of clarity, curiosity, and shared ownership within the team. You will be responsible for translating high-level product requirements into actionable, parallelizable, and incrementally releasable tasks, ensuring efficient project execution. A critical part of your role will be to skillfully balance the delivery of short-term, impactful features with long-term strategic investments in efficiency, scalability, and overall performance of the Saga application. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI technology and intuitive mobile user experiences, directly impacting how professionals interact with their digital tools.
