What You’ll Do

- Design, develop, and sustain high-performance iOS applications using Swift, SwiftUI, and Objective‑C.
- Lead architectural modernization and modularization to improve scalability and cross‑platform reuse.
- Define and own the entire lifecycle of your systems: feature ideation, API design, instrumentation, deployment (CI/CD), live‑traffic monitoring, unit/UI/e2e testing, user telemetry & data analysis, experiment design (A/B tests), and continuous iteration.
- Influence and evolve our architecture: propose and lead initiatives to decompose monoliths, build shared libraries and frameworks, improve modularization, enable reuse across iOS, Android, Web; evaluate new Apple platform capabilities and lead their adoption.
- Apply AI‑driven tools and automation frameworks to speed up development, code analysis, testing, and reliability.
- Leverage intelligent telemetry, analytics,



and optimization pipelines to improve app performance and user experience.
- Define observability standards, telemetry pipelines, and fault‑tolerance strategies for production‑grade systems.
- Partner closely with product, design, backend, and data teams to deliver seamless, high‑quality user experiences.
- Drive technical discussions, mentor developers, and influence strategic direction across mobile platforms.

Who You Are

- A technical leader with the ability to create and lead roadmaps/initiatives that align to high‑level business objectives.
- Deep expertise in Swift, SwiftUI, and modern concurrency (async/await, actors).
- Proven track record of architecting modular, maintainable systems that balance speed and reliability.
- Strong background in performance optimization, observability, and system‑level debugging.
- Experience using AI and automation to improve developer velocity, reliability, or product intelligence.
- A collaborative technical leader who thrives in fast‑moving environments and mentors others to excel.
- Passionate about creating elegant, high‑performance mobile experiences across Apple's ecosystem.
- You architect for observability, reliability and production‑readiness: you understand instrumentation, SLOs/SLIs, fault‑tolerance,



runbooks, incident triage, scalable telemetry pipelines, and production diagnostics for mobile clients.
- You have been a technical leader (not just an individual contributor): you've influenced roadmap decisions, contributed to multi‑team initiatives, mentored/led developers, driven culture/process improvements, and interfaced with senior developer/product leadership.
