You will act as the primary technical authority for the iOS domain, partnering strategically with product managers, product designers (UX/UI), backend leads, and engineering management. You will guide the team through the full delivery cycle ‑ from early concept and technical discovery to a successful launch on the Apple App Store ‑ while shaping hiring, mentorship, and long‑term platform direction.

Design robust integrations with backend services and RESTful or GraphQL APIs, ensuring smooth, dynamic, and resilient user experiences

Set the bar for engineering quality: write clean, modular, and maintainable code, lead code reviews, and ensure consistency and craftsmanship across the codebase

Define comprehensive testing strategies, including unit and UI tests (using XCTest), to secure application stability. Drive continuous performance, memory, and battery optimization initiatives using Instruments

Own the application release lifecycle end-to-end, including build processes, certificate and provisioning management, and submissions via App Store Connect

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of iOS engineers ‑ coaching senior, mid‑level, and junior developers, conducting technical interviews, and fostering a high‑performing engineering culture

Partner with cross‑functional stakeholders and engineering leadership to influence product roadmaps, drive technical innovation, and align mobile strategy with broader business goals

Strong hands‑on experience with SwiftUI (preferred) and UIKit (Auto Layout, Storyboards/XIBs)

Proven track record of establishing and owning CI/CD pipelines for iOS (e.g., Fastlane, Xcode Cloud, Bitrise) and managing the full release lifecycle via App Store Connect

Advanced experience with Git and leading collaborative workflows across distributed teams
