WHY JOIN US If you're looking for a place to grow, make an impact, and work with people who care, we'd love to meet you! ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a Lead iOS Engineer to support a platform-focused team, contributing hands-on to iOS implementation while raising the technical bar across architecture, quality practices, and AI-assisted delivery. You will design and maintain MVVM-based iOS architecture, integrate third-party SDKs and cloud-connected platform functionality, and select and implement appropriate testing strategies for the team. The role requires strong ownership in a high-ambiguity environment, turning unclear requirements into clear technical plans with minimal supervision. WHAT YOU WILL DO - Design, build, and maintain high-quality iOS platform capabilities that support consumer-facing experiences; - Contribute hands-on to iOS architecture and implementation, including MVVM and modular architecture patterns where appropriate; - Integrate third-party SDKs and platform services into the iOS application; - Work across networking layers, API integrations, and backend-connected mobile features; - Support Cloud Code-related implementation and integration needs where applicable; - Own iOS work end-to-end, from technical design and implementation through validation, release readiness, and iteration; - Select, introduce, and implement appropriate testing and quality tools based on the codebase, delivery needs, and platform constraints; - Improve release confidence through pragmatic quality practices, balancing test coverage, maintainability, delivery speed, and platform constraints; - Provide technical guidance through code reviews, pairing, and architecture discussions; - Apply AI-assisted engineering practices where they improve delivery speed, code quality, debugging, refactoring, documentation, or tooling, while maintaining engineering judgment and review discipline; - Communicate clearly with stakeholders, surface risks early, and keep progress visible across time zones. MUST HAVES - 5+ years of experience as an iOS engineer with strong hands-on Swift/iOS implementation experience; - Strong experience building and shipping production iOS applications at scale; - Practical experience designing and maintaining iOS architecture, especially MVVM; - Strong ownership mindset: able to operate with limited supervision, take ambiguous requirements, validate assumptions, and turn them into clear technical plans; - Experience integrating third-party SDKs in production mobile applications; - Strong understanding of networking, API integration, error handling, and mobile-backend interaction patterns; - Experience with Cloud Code or comparable cloud-connected mobile/platform functionality; - Strong judgment around iOS quality practices, including the ability to choose and implement appropriate testing tools for the team rather than only writing tests; - Ability to evaluate the team’s quality needs and select suitable approaches for unit, integration, UI, snapshot, contract, or other relevant test coverage; - Comfortable using AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly as part of normal development work, including implementation support, debugging, refactoring, documentation, test/tooling work, and technical exploration; - Strong communication habits, visible progress updates, early risk/blocker escalation, and reliable collaboration across time zones; - Upper-intermediate English level. NICE TO HAVES - Experience with modular iOS architecture in large-scale consumer applications; - Experience defining or improving team-level testing strategy, not just contributing individual tests; - Experience introducing or improving testing tooling for iOS teams; - Experience working on platform teams or shared mobile foundations used by multiple product teams; - Experience with cloud-connected mobile features, backend-for-frontend patterns, or services that require close mobile/backend coordination; - Prior experience in high-ambiguity environments where requirements need discovery, validation, and technical shaping before implementation; - Practical experience using AI tools to improve engineering workflows while preserving code quality, security, and authenticity. PERKS AND BENEFITS - Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps. - Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets. - Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies. - Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
