• Design resilient integrations with backend services and RESTful or GraphQL APIs to support smooth, dynamic user experiences
• Maintain a high bar for quality by writing clean, modular, maintainable code, leading code reviews, and ensuring consistency across the codebase
• Implement comprehensive testing strategies, including unit and UI tests with XCTest, and continuously optimize performance, memory, and battery usage using Instruments
• Own the end-to-end release lifecycle, including build processes, certificates and provisioning, and App Store Connect submissions

• Proven expertise in modern iOS architectural patterns (e.g., MVVM, MVC, Clean Architecture, Combine, and Swift Concurrency), including defining architecture at scale and explaining tradeoffs to technical and non-technical audiences
• Strong practical skills with SwiftUI (preferred) and UIKit (Auto Layout, Storyboards/XIBs)
• Demonstrated success owning CI/CD pipelines for iOS (e.g., Fastlane, Xcode Cloud, Bitrise) and managing the full release lifecycle via App Store Connect
• Advanced Git knowledge and experience leading collaborative workflows across distributed teams
• Demonstrated leadership in mentoring engineers, shaping technical strategy, and delivering complex initiatives in an Agile/Scrum environment using tools like Jira
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business value
