About the role

We are seeking a Senior/Lead iOS Developer to lead the design, development, and delivery of high-quality iOS applications and reusable SDKs. This role requires strong technical depth in iOS engineering along with leadership capability to guide a team, influence architecture decisions, and drive best practices across projects. You will work closely with product managers, designers, QA, backend teams, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable, reliable, and user-centric mobile solutions while mentoring engineers and shaping the long-term iOS technology roadmap.


The core responsibilities for the job include the following:


Technical Leadership and Architecture:

  • Lead the architecture, design, and development of iOS applications and reusable SDKs using Swift.
  • Define and enforce scalable architectures such as MVVM, Clean Architecture, or similar to ensure long-term maintainability and testability.
  • Establish and drive coding standards, best practices, and engineering guidelines for the iOS team.
  • Own technical decision-making for iOS platforms, frameworks, SDK design, and third-party integrations.
  • Ensure high performance, memory efficiency, security, and reliability across all iOS deliverables.


Development and Delivery:

  • Build modern, scalable user interfaces using SwiftUI and UIKit, following Apple Human Interface Guidelines.
  • Develop modular, reusable SDKs that can be consumed across multiple iOS applications.
  • Integrate RESTful APIs, third-party libraries, and internal frameworks.
  • Manage dependencies using CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager (SPM).
  • Write and enforce comprehensive unit tests and UI tests using XCTest and XCUITest.
  • Drive CI/CD adoption for iOS applications and SDKs, ensuring reliable build and release pipelines.
  • Actively contribute hands-on code for critical features and complex technical components.


Team Leadership and Mentorship:

  • Lead, mentor, and coach junior and mid-level iOS developers.
  • Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to improve code quality and engineering maturity.
  • Support hiring and technical interviews for iOS roles.
  • Foster a culture of quality, accountability, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.


Collaboration and Stakeholder Management:

  • Partner with product managers, designers, QA, and backend teams to define requirements, estimates, and delivery timelines.
  • Translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
  • Communicate technical trade-offs, risks, and progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Take ownership of deliverables and ensure timely, high-quality releases in a fast-paced environment.


Requirements:

  • 2-6 years of experience in iOS application development, with at least 2-4 years in a senior or lead role.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Swift and deep understanding of iOS SDKs.
  • Strong hands-on experience with SwiftUI and UIKit for building production-grade user interfaces.
  • Proven experience in iOS SDK / framework development and maintaining reusable components.
  • Strong expertise in MVVM, clean architecture, and modern iOS design patterns.
  • Extensive experience writing unit tests and UI tests using XCTest and XCUITest.
  • Experience with CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager (SPM) for dependency management.
  • Solid understanding of multithreading, memory management (ARC), and performance optimization.
  • Proven experience integrating RESTful APIs and applying networking best practices.
  • Hands-on experience setting up or managing CI/CD pipelines for iOS applications.
  • Proficiency with Git, Xcode, and iOS debugging and profiling tools (Instruments, LLDB).
  • Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience working in service-based or client-driven organizations with multiple stakeholders.


Nice to Have:

  • Experience publishing and maintaining SDKs or internal frameworks used across multiple products or teams.
  • Experience leading end-to-end delivery of large-scale iOS applications.
  • Exposure to cross-platform architectures or shared business-logic layers.
  • Experience with mobile security, data encryption, and secure API integration.
  • Prior experience building or scaling an iOS team from the ground up.
