- Set iOS architecture, coding standards, and review practices for the engineers who follow.
- Instrument the app for analytics, experimentation, and crash-free releases.
- Work closely with the Android lead, hardware integration, and backend engineers to ship complete features.
- Drive fast, high-quality release cycles through TestFlight and the App Store.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 6+ years building and shipping consumer iOS apps at scale.
- Expert in Swift and SwiftUI.
- Deep experience with AVFoundation camera, media pipelines, and offline-first sync.
- Experience as the lead or senior-most engineer on a mobile platform.
- Strong product sense and an obsession with UI quality and performance.
- Comfortable owning a platform end to end on a small, fast-moving team.
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience at top consumer app companies (Snapchat, Instagram, Uber, or similar).
- Bluetooth (BLE) or connected-device integration experience.
- Cross-platform experience (React Native, Flutter, or KMP).
- Experience with Apple's MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad) Program and integrating iOS apps with external hardware accessories.
