• Strong product partnership: translating business requirements into clear technical plans, communicating risk/impact crisply.
• Tackle high-impact problems, producing clear plans, prototypes, and production-ready solutions.
• Integrate AI and automation where appropriate to improve app functionality, personalization, or developer productivity.
• Raise the quality bar through rigorous code reviews, observability, and operational excellence.
• Drive tooling, hosting, DevOps, and quality assurance automation initiatives to improve velocity and reliability.
• Communicate clearly on strategy, progress, and risks.
• Mentor senior and mid-level peer engineers.
• Contribute to high-quality system documentation, operational guidelines, and knowledge sharing.

• Proven track record shipping and operating at least one large-scale, consumer- or enterprise-grade iOS app, with ownership across design, implementation, release, and post-launch iteration.
• Experience designing modular architectures (e.g., MVVM/C, Clean, TCA) and evolving legacy codebases safely through migrations.
• Deep performance and reliability skills: profiling with Instruments, launch-time tuning, memory/leak debugging and network efficiency.
• Secure mobile development: Keychain, biometrics, secure storage, TLS/ATS, certificate pinning and data-protection best practices.
• Experience with background tasks, conflict resolution, data modeling, and migration strategies.
• API and contract design: strong REST/GraphQL/gRPC fundamentals, versioning, pagination, and close collaboration with backend services on auth and performance.
• Testing at scale: XCTest/XCUITest, snapshot tests, dependency injection for testability, quality gates for CI/CD pipelines.
• Observability: Logging, crash analytics, dashboards/alerting, and SLO-driven ownership.
• Build and release engineering: Fastlane/Xcode Cloud/Bitrise, code signing/provisioning, TestFlight, phased rollouts, feature flags, and rollback plans.
