Zusammenfassung

EPAM Systems is seeking a Lead iOS Engineer to lead a mobile engineering squad in Kraków, Poland. You will set up the codebase, tooling, and standards before scale, guiding architecture decisions and delivery across native iOS platforms with Swift/SwiftUI.

You will mentor engineers, collaborate with backend streams, and champion AI-assisted engineering practices to accelerate the SDLC while maintaining high-quality mobile experiences.

Qualifikationen

• Extensive hands-on experience with Native iOS development (Swift / SwiftUI).
• Proven track record of building new mobile apps from the ground up.
• Deep knowledge of iOS app architecture and clean code patterns.
• Experience designing API-driven mobile experiences.
• Familiarity with Location services and iOS permissions.
• Experience with Push notifications / APNs.
• Hands-on integration of Analytics SDKs.
• Strong grasp of App performance, error handling, and accessibility basics.
• Mastery of the TestFlight / App Store release process.
• Experience working in multi-vendor or enterprise environments.

Aufgaben

• Own code quality and technical decisions inside the mobile stream.
• Mentor a squad of mid and senior engineers across cross-platform and native work.
• Act as the technical counterpart to the BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) stream—the contract between app and backend is partly yours to negotiate.
• Drive AI-assisted engineering practices naturally within the team; use approved AI tools to speed up code scaffolding, unit tests, reviews, and delivery planning.
