Social Discovery Group is an international online holding company with a line of social discovery products with an audience of 180 million users worldwide.

At SDG Lab we are launching and developing new projects and are currently looking for a Senior IOS Developer to take part in the development of our own product EVA AI.
EVA AI is an AI companion designed for everyday communication and support. EVA AI is always ready to listen, engage in conversation, and provide emotional support. It serves as an ideal conversational partner, creating a safe space free from judgment or offense.
EVA AI helps alleviate loneliness and boredom, reduce stress levels, and fulfill the need for social interaction. It leverages advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to create a rich interactive experience. Our virtual friend can offer advice, sometimes even disagreeing with the user, and requires a little attention in return. It has its own backstory, and the relationship with EVA AI continuously evolves. The more users engage with EVA AI, the more additional features and capabilities they unlock.
We are part of a major holding company and have a clear mission: to create something significant. Our goal is to build a billion-dollar+ business. However, we enjoy the benefits of a startup without its drawbacks, as we are backed by a large holding company. We have access to infrastructure and financial support that only large corporations can provide.
Currently, we offer real-time voice messaging, and we have plans to introduce virtual characters for video communication in the future. Our character is likely to have the ability to understand user emotions.
