What You'll Be Doing
- Define and own the long-term technical vision and strategy for the iOS platform, ensuring our mobile experience is on par with the best consumer apps (Airbnb, Uber, Duolingo).
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 8-9 iOS engineers — raising the bar for craft, code quality, performance, and mobile UX.
- Partner with Product and Design leadership to shape the mobile roadmap, ensuring engineering influences direction and doesn't just execute.
- Drive high-quality, high-velocity shipping with strong operational frameworks for planning, prioritization, and delivery excellence.
- Build scalable mobile architecture — owning decisions around app performance, offline capabilities, release management, CI/CD, and platform tooling.
- Use data to guide decisions, instrument systems, measure impact, and continuously optimize the iOS experience.
- Execute on performance management — coach engineers on day-to-day challenges and long-term career development, maintain standards of excellence, and recognize outperformance.
- Foster a welcoming, collaborative, high-trust team culture with low non-regrettable attrition, even in a remote-first environment.
- Contribute to the broader engineering organization by collaborating with peer Senior EMs and leaders on org-wide initiatives and engineering culture.
You'll Be a Good Fit If
- You have 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 4+ years leading engineering teams and at least 2+ years managing iOS or mobile-focused teams.
- You have strong iOS technical depth — you understand Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI, mobile architecture patterns, and can engage deeply with your team on technical decisions.
- You have a track record of shipping polished, high-quality mobile experiences at scale in a consumer or marketplace environment.
- You bring a product engineering mindset — you deeply understand user needs and translate them into delightful, high-performance mobile experiences.
- You've scaled teams through rapid growth — you know how to hire, onboard, and develop engineers while maintaining quality and velocity.
- You have exceptional communication and cross-functional leadership skills, including the ability to influence non-technical stakeholders.
- You operate with a founder's mindset — ownership, speed, scrappiness, resilience, and a bias toward action.
- You are passionate about building high-performance teams and developing engineers into future leaders.
