Senior iOS SDK Engineer, Objective-C

Who You Are

You are an iOS SDK engineer who builds code that runs inside other companies’ apps, not someone who mainly builds apps or integrates third-party SDKs. You’ll work on Verve’s HyBid iOS SDK, where the code has to stay lightweight, backward-compatible, and safe in host apps we don’t control. The SDK combines legacy Objective-C with modern Swift, so you’ll work in both every day. The focus is stability, Objective-C/Swift interoperability, framework packaging, and memory and thread safety.

• Develop, maintain, and improve core modules of Verve’s iOS HyBid SDK, with a focus on stability, performance, memory safety, thread safety, and backward compatibility.
• Work hands-on with Objective-C and Swift across networking, ad rendering, mediation, tracking, and SDK integration flows.
• Build, validate, and maintain SDK packaging and distribution through SPM, CocoaPods, .framework, and .xcframework, and lead the CocoaPods to SPM migration.
• Troubleshoot complex SDK issues inside third-party publisher apps, including crashes, memory leaks, threading issues, dependency conflicts, and integration edge cases.
• Build and optimize ad rendering and mediation integrations, including AppLovin MAX, SKAdNetwork metadata, privacy manifests, and monetization adapter flows.
• Collaborate with Product, Android, QA, and business stakeholders to align cross-platform behavior, maintain automated testing/release workflows, and deliver SDK features reliably

• 6+ years of professional iOS development experience, with hands-on SDK development experience.
• Strong recent Objective-C experience, including writing, maintaining, or debugging production Objective-C code.
• Strong Swift experience and solid understanding of Swift/Objective-C interoperability.
• Experience building SDKs or shared libraries consumed by multiple apps or third-party host applications.
• Deep understanding of ARC, GCD, concurrency, memory management, thread safety, and callback handling.
• Understanding of static vs dynamic linking, dependency management, binary distribution, and integration conflicts such as duplicate symbols or class conflicts.
• Experience with SDK packaging and distribution using SPM, CocoaPods, .framework, or .xcframework.
• Ability to troubleshoot SDK integration, performance, crash, and compatibility issues inside host applications.
• Experience with ad tech, mediation SDKs, AppLovin MAX, SKAdNetwork, privacy manifests, or monetization adapters is a plus.
