Lyrebird Studio builds media-creation apps (photo, video, audio editors) distributed across 50+ products on iOS and Android, reaching 1.5+ billion installs in 150+ countries. The tech stack is heavily native-mobile-first (Swift/UIKit/SwiftUI on iOS; Kotlin/Jetpack Compose on Android), with Figma, Firebase, and REST APIs supporting the ecosystem. Active hiring skews junior-to-mid engineering and design roles in Istanbul, signaling scaling of core product development rather than platform infrastructure shifts.
