  • Strong grasp of app architecture, concurrency, and performance
  • Track record of shipping and maintaining iOS features at scale
  • Experience leading the technical direction of a project and working independently with limited guidance

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and ship core features of the iOS app, end to end.
  • Own the architecture of major client areas.
  • Set conventions and raise the bar for code quality, performance, and reliability.
  • Drive a high-quality consumer experience, ensuring smooth scrolling, fast load, and low crash rate.
  • Partner with design, product, and backend engineers to scope and sequence work in a fast 0→1 environment.
  • Mentor other engineers through code review, design review, and pairing.
