• Integrate with backend APIs and collaborate with platform engineers to define contracts

• Guide mobile architecture decisions, drive adoption of design patterns (MVVM, VIPER, etc.)

• Improve CI/CD processes for mobile builds, testing, and deployment

• Review code, mentor junior iOS developers, and lead with empathy and clarity

• Troubleshoot performance, memory, and networking issues in production apps

⸻

🌍 Culture Fit

• You sweat the details but never lose sight of product velocity

• You champion mobile usability, performance, and app store excellence

• You mentor others not through control, but by clarity and strong examples

• You take initiative, seek alignment, and work with empathy and ownership

• You care deeply about testing, automation, and developer experience

⸻

🚀 Success in 90 Days

• You’ve shipped core user stories in the iOS app, with high performance and low crash rates

• You’ve improved modularity and test coverage in mobile codebases
