  • Mentor and guide iOS engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical coaching, including coaching on effective use of AI coding assistants and tools.

  • Establish and enforce best practices for clean, maintainable, and testable code, with a deep, hands-on understanding of core iOS concepts.

  • Own the technical quality of releases, including code review standards, testing strategy, and CI/CD practices for iOS, integrating AI-driven testing and quality automation where applicable.

  • Evaluate and introduce new iOS technologies, tools, and trends — including emerging AI-assisted development tools — and drive their adoption where they add value.

  • Define and iterate on team workflows to incorporate AI-native PDLC practices (e.g., AI-assisted code generation, automated test generation, AI-powered code review, and documentation).

  • Act as the primary point of contact for iOS-related technical questions across teams, and represent the iOS team in cross-functional and planning discussions.

  • Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and performance feedback for iOS team members.

  • 6+ years of iOS development experience, including prior experience leading or mentoring engineers.

  • Deep expertise in Swift and Cocoa Touch, with a strong track record of shipping production iOS apps at scale.

  • Proven experience in Object-Oriented Programming and software design/architecture patterns (MVVM, MVC, Clean Architecture, etc.).

  • Expert knowledge of the iOS SDK and Xcode, including performance profiling and debugging tools.

  • Strong experience designing and integrating with RESTful APIs, and input into API contracts with backend teams.

  • Advanced experience with Git, including branching strategy, code review workflows, and release management.

  • Proven track record with Test Driven Development (TDD) and Agile methodologies, with experience shaping team process.

  • Hands-on experience integrating AI-native tools and workflows into the product development lifecycle (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar AI coding assistants) for code generation, review, and testing.

  • Familiarity with prompt engineering practices and using AI tools to accelerate design, documentation, and technical decision-making.

  • Deep expertise in iOS frameworks such as UIKit, SwiftUI, CoreGraphics, Core Animation, and ability to guide framework/tooling decisions for the team.

  • Strong experience in Unit Testing, including establishing testing standards and coverage goals, and leveraging AI for test generation and coverage analysis.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
