Lead technical direction on iOS: SwiftUI growth alongside UIKit legacy, shared kits, and cross-cutting concerns (auth, flags, analytics)

Raise the bar on unit/UI/snapshot testing and PR gates; partner on TestFlight / App Store release hygiene

Use AI tools to accelerate delivery while mentoring Intermediate engineers

Partner with Android so product behavior stays aligned across platforms

How You’ll Use AI in This Role:

AI-assisted coding and refactoring

AI-generated test coverage and validation

AI-supported debugging and root-cause analysis

AI-assisted documentation and knowledge sharing

Applying AI tools to reduce repetitive work and increase engineering leverage

Who You Will Work With:
