This is a contract position with a focus on collaboration and technical design from inception to launch.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead development of profile experiences from technical design through launch and iteration.
- Own core iOS architecture for profile flows, including networking, state management, navigation, and persistence.
- Improve performance and reliability with measurable targets across startup time, rendering, memory usage, and crash-free rate.
- Operate with strong safety practices: feature flags, staged rollouts, experimentation, and data instrumentation.
- Uphold quality through code reviews, documentation, and robust unit and UI testing integrated with CI.
- Shape cross-team API contracts with backend partners, ensuring resilient error handling and clear upgrade paths.
- Ensure accessibility, localization, and privacy-by-design are first-class requirements in all implementations.
- Advance platform health by evolving patterns, modularization, and shared components that scale across the app.
Key Skills:
- 8+ years building consumer iOS apps in Swift.
- Strong experience with UIKit and/or SwiftUI.
- Proven work in large-scale, fast-paced, high-traffic environments.
- Experience shipping modern, user-facing social features (e.g., identity, profiles, feeds, settings).
- Strong iOS architecture skills (MVVM/MVP/Clean) and modular codebases.
- Hands-on experience improving performance and reliability (startup time, rendering, memory, crashes).
- Experience with modern concurrency (async/await or GCD).
- Familiarity with feature flags, staged rollouts, and analytics.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
