Why join koodos labs?

koodos labs is building personal intelligence that works for the person it represents.

Our mission is to put personal intelligence within your control: to help people bring together the context they choose, understand and refine what Shelf learns on their behalf, and decide how that context can be used.

We built Shelf to make that vision useful and fun in the real world.

What we’re building

Millions of people choose to connect Shelf to services like Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, Goodreads, and more. Shelf aggregates that activity on their behalf, and every rating, comment, correction, or addition helps refine the picture.

Users and creators have already built hundreds of personal apps on Shelf powered by that context. Because Shelf asks people to encounter, trust, correct, and use software’s understanding of them, those moments cannot feel like generic AI output or a dashboard. They need to feel intentional, tactile, and trustworthy.

The Opportunity

Shelf is native iOS, built in Swift/SwiftUI. We moved off Capacitor specifically to chase the things that make iOS feel like iOS: gestures that read your intent, motion that anticipates the touch, widgets and Live Activities that do real work, and the frame-by-frame craft that separates apps people use from apps people love.

We have strong design taste and strong native architecture. What we’re looking for is someone who lives at the seam between them.

This role helps define what personal intelligence feels like in someone’s hands, by elevating the interaction quality and polish of Shelf’s most important native iOS surfaces.

The Work

• Elevate Shelf’s most important native iOS surfaces, with particular attention to responsiveness, motion, gesture behavior, transitions, haptics, and tactile detail.
• Partner closely with design and engineering to turn product directions into polished experiences.
• Own the implementation quality of interaction-heavy surfaces across the app.
• Help make personal intelligence feel legible and delightful, especially in the places where people see, refine, and control the context Shelf has assembled on their behalf.
• Contribute to platform-native moments across iOS, including widgets, Live Activities, App Clips, transitions, and other surfaces where the platform itself becomes part of the product.
• Work inside an evolving product and visual system without needing to reinvent the app from scratch.
