  • Lead projects through the full development lifecycle, from product definition and technical design to implementation, experimentation, launch, and ongoing improvement.
  • Partner with product, design, data science, ML, backend, and platform teams to shape strategy, translate technical capabilities into intuitive experiences, and deliver measurable user impact.
  • Improve iOS architecture, performance, reliability, accessibility, developer workflows, and engineering standards while mentoring teammates and driving cross-functional technical initiatives.

Who You Might Be

  • An experienced iOS engineer who has built and shipped consumer-facing native applications at scale using Swift.
  • A strategic, product-minded partner who connects technical decisions to user and business outcomes and can lead through ambiguity.
  • A clear and collaborative communicator who can explain complex tradeoffs, influence stakeholders, and build alignment across teams.
  • A curious, adaptable, and ownership-oriented teammate who embraces experimentation, learns from setbacks, improves processes, and helps others succeed.

Technical Qualifications

  • Professional experience developing native iOS applications with Swift and a strong understanding of iOS frameworks and application architecture.
  • Ability to write idiomatic, readable, reusable, and testable code, with strong skills in debugging, performance optimization, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Experience designing mobile systems and interfaces, evaluating architectural tradeoffs, and building scalable features from APIs through user-facing UI.
  • Experience with experimentation, feature flags, instrumentation, analytics, and product or quality-of-experience metrics; familiarity with AVFoundation, VideoToolbox, HLS, media playback, recommendation systems, accessibility, or ML-integrated products is a plus.
