The TeameBay's Selling Experience Team builds the native iOS and Android experiences that help millions of sellers create and publish listings. We're transforming this critical part of the marketplace through AI-powered listing tools, camera and image-based experiences, and simpler workflows that help both new and experienced sellers succeed.
Our team works closely with product, design, and engineering partners to deliver customer-facing features at scale, with a strong focus on experimentation, quality, and rapid iteration.
The RoleWe're looking for a hands-on
iOS Tech Lead- Sr. MTS to drive the technical direction of our iOS listing experience. You'll lead architecture and product delivery, write production code, solve complex engineering challenges, and coach a small team of iOS engineers.
This role combines approximately equal parts hands-on engineering and technical/team leadership. We're looking for someone who brings strong independent judgment, challenges assumptions constructively, and enjoys building products as much as leading engineers.
What You Will Accomplish- Lead the architecture, development, and delivery of large-scale native iOS experiences used by millions of sellers.
- Help modernize our listing tools through AI, camera, image/video, and other native device capabilities.
- Remain hands-on with Swift development, code reviews, debugging, and technical problem-solving.
- Drive multiple concurrent initiatives while balancing delivery speed, technical quality, and long-term maintainability.
- Mentor and lead iOS engineers, fostering strong engineering practices and continuous improvement.
- Collaborate with product, UX, and engineering teams to shape technical direction and deliver impactful customer experiences.
- Improve application performance, reliability, testing, and development efficiency.
What You Will Bring- 12+ years of native iOS development experience, including technical leadership or engineering mentorship.
- Deep expertise in Swift, iOS frameworks, application architecture, concurrency, and design patterns.
- Experience building and shipping complex, high-traffic, consumer-facing iOS applications.
- Strong architectural judgment, problem-solving skills, and experience making technical trade-offs.
- Experience with backend API integration, application lifecycle management, and production debugging.
- Ability to lead engineers, influence technical decisions, and communicate effectively across teams.
- A hands-on, product-focused mindset and comfort operating in a fast-paced environment.
Nice to Have- SwiftUI, Combine, or The Composable Architecture (TCA) experience.
- Experience with on-device AI, camera functionality, or image/video processing.
- Automated testing, CI/CD, and mobile experimentation experience.
- Formal people management experience.
- Consumer internet, marketplace, or other large-scale mobile product experience.
