Contribute to and evolve the iOS architecture and engineering standards, balancing long-term maintainability with rapid product delivery

Leverage AI-assisted development tools and workflows to improve productivity, code quality, and developer experience

Help mature the team’s approach to AI usage by sharing best practices, tooling, and learnings with other engineers

Support and mentor other iOS engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance

Strong proficiency in Swift with deep experience in UIKit; working knowledge of SwiftUI in production environments

Proven experience designing and maintaining scalable iOS architectures (e.g. MVVM, TCA, VIPER, or similar) in large codebases

Solid understanding of iOS concurrency and performance (async/await, GCD, memory management)

Experience integrating and consuming networked APIs from iOS clients, including error handling and performance considerations

Strong knowledge of iOS platform fundamentals (app lifecycle, view rendering, Auto Layout, accessibility, localization)

Experience owning iOS features end-to-end, including technical design, implementation, testing, and App Store delivery

Why join us?
