iOS Developer - Swift

Company

Eighty Days is building a new way to discover the world centred on taste, trust, and personal context.

Today, travel discovery is fragmented across social media, search, and private conversations. We are creating a product that brings this together into a structured, map-based experience where recommendations are attributed, meaningful, and built over time.

Our focus is not just on helping people plan trips, but on becoming the place where they continuously save, organise, and revisit places that matter.
