Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Plume sits in a distinctive corner of the SaaS ecosystem, delivering a cloud platform that underpins connected-home and small business WiFi services for large communications providers. That combination of SaaS delivery, device management at scale, and data-driven network experiences makes the iOS Development Intern role relevant to product work where mobile is a key surface for recurring services rather than a standalone app.
For someone building a SaaS career, the internship offers exposure to the practical mechanics that recur across subscription products: API integration, performance tuning, and iterative feature delivery in collaboration with backend, design, and product counterparts. Working with Swift, UIKit, and SwiftUI in a platform context also helps build fluency in maintainable client architecture, debugging discipline, and code review habits that transfer across SaaS teams shipping user-facing experiences.
This role tends to suit early-career engineers who learn best by implementing production-adjacent features, incorporating feedback, and improving reliability over time. It will appeal to candidates who enjoy bridging UI craftsmanship with systems thinking, and who want to understand how mobile clients interact with cloud services and telemetry in a real-world SaaS environment.
The section above is editorial commentary from The SaaS Jobs, provided to help SaaS professionals understand the role in a broader industry context.
Job Description
Life at Plume
At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life’s moments better. Which is why we’ve built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale.
We now deliver services to over 60 million locations globally and have managed over 3 billion devices on our platform. We’re expanding rapidly, pioneering a new category, and we achieved our Series F funding in just four years. Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data.
With a bias for action and a love for being trailblazers, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don't, work to do what should be done (rather than what can), and if we can’t do it exceptionally well, we don’t do it. It’s how we've assembled a team of world-class builders, thinkers, and doers. And it’s how we’re reinventing what’s possible every day.

For residential subscribers, Plume delivers self-optimizing WiFi, cyber-security, access controls, and more. For small businesses, our purpose-built suite of smart services turns small business networks into fully connected, business intelligence platforms. And for Service Providers, they get robust back-end applications for unprecedented visibility and support.
