• Champion strong software architectural principles for testable, scalable, maintainable software on your own team and across the organization.
• Own and maintain a clear, prioritized backlog focused on code health, technical debt reduction, and testability improvements.
• Raise the bar and champion higher engineering standards through prompt code review, increased test coverage, and improved design practices. Hold teammates accountable.
• Represent the Connectivity iOS team in cross-functional settings such as bug triage, product syncs, firmware coordination, and guild representation.
• Participate in the release process including getting the app built, managing build variants, signing, sending and testing through Firebase, and submitting to the App store

QUALIFICATIONS:

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of professional iOS software engineering experience with a solid foundation in Swift, iOS system APIs, concurrency, and memory management.
• Hands-on experience with Combine and background task processing for non-UI iOS features.
• Demonstrated examples influencing other engineers in the application of architectural and platform-based software design principals to build scalable, modular, testable software.
• Experience debugging and diagnosing issues across complex or distributed systems (for example: firmware, mobile, backend) is a strong plus.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, driving cross-functional problem solving, tradeoff definition, and optimization.
• Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions.
