Job Openings Lead iOS Developer

About the job Lead iOS Developer

The role

This is the first Lead iOS hire. You will own the iOS technical roadmap, set engineering standards from scratch, and mentor the iOS team. No formal direct reports: influence comes from expertise, not hierarchy.

The split is about 90% hands-on coding and 10% technical leadership. You report to the MobApp Tech Lead and act as the iOS voice in every cross-functional discussion with Product, Design, Backend, and QA.

What you bring

  • 6+ years of commercial iOS development in Swift
  • Deep UIKit mastery plus solid SwiftUI production experience
  • Swift Concurrency (async/await) and Combine in production
  • Strong architectural thinking: MVVM, VIPER, Clean Architecture, and the trade-offs between them
  • CI/CD ownership: Fastlane, GitLab CI or Xcode Cloud
  • Full App Store lifecycle: provisioning, TestFlight, submission, App Review
  • Testing culture: XCTest, testable code, high standards enforced in code review
  • iOS security: Keychain, Secure Enclave, biometric auth, certificate pinning, jailbreak detection
  • REST API integration with robust error handling, retry logic, token refresh
  • Proven technical leadership and mentorship with measurable results
  • High ownership mindset and clear cross-functional communication
  • English B2+

Nice to have

  • Fintech, crypto, payments or banking app experience
  • KYC SDK integration (Sumsub, Onfido) or payment SDKs (Stripe, Checkout.com)
  • Real-time data: WebSocket, SSE
  • Modular iOS architecture (Swift Packages, feature modules)
  • Firebase suite, performance profiling with Instruments
  • Experience interviewing iOS engineers

Why join

  • Build iOS engineering culture from scratch, a rare founding opportunity
  • Real product at scale: your code serves millions of users handling real money
  • Modern native stack: Swift and SwiftUI, no Objective-C legacy
  • Remote-first, high autonomy, no micromanagement
  • Clear growth path: Lead iOS (IC-5) → Tech Lead (IC-6) → potential Head of Mobile
  • Fast-growing company: 120+ people, 266% YoY growth in 2025
