Lead iOS Engineer (AI-Forward)

📍US Remote (CT or ET only)

💰$150k–$170k (flexible for the right profile)

The Opportunity:

We’re building the next generation of mobile applications in highly regulated industries (Aviation, Defence, Rail) — where performance, reliability, and precision matter.

But this isn’t a typical iOS role.

We’re looking for a forward-thinking Senior iOS Engineer who is already embracing AI-assisted development and wants to help shape how modern engineering teams operate.

If you’re the type of engineer who:

• Uses AI tools daily to improve how you build
• Has strong opinions on where engineering is heading
• Wants to influence product and technical direction

This is the role:

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build, ship, and maintain production iOS applications using Swift and Objective-C
• Lead development of new features with a focus on performance, stability, and scalability
• Work closely with product, design, and QA to shape and deliver high-impact features
• Actively leverage AI tools (e.g. Copilot, ChatGPT, Augment) to improve development workflows
• Champion modern engineering practices, including CI/CD, testing, and code quality
• Contribute to technical direction and influence decisions across teams
• Mentor engineers and raise the bar across the team

What We’re Looking For:

Core iOS Experience

• Strong commercial experience with Swift and Objective-C
• Deep understanding of UIKit, app lifecycle, and iOS architecture
• Experience shipping and supporting live App Store applications
• Strong debugging, performance optimisation, and profiling (Instruments)

AI-Forward Mindset (This is key)

• Actively using AI tools in your day-to-day development workflow
• Able to demonstrate how AI has improved your speed, quality, or output
• Curious and opinionated about how AI is changing software development
• Comfortable introducing new tools or ways of working to a team

Influence & Ownership

• Confident working with product and cross-functional teams
• Able to challenge ideas and influence decisions, not just execute
• Demonstrated ownership beyond individual tasks
• Clear potential to grow into a technical leadership role

Why This Role is Different

• AI isn’t a side project — it’s central to how the team is evolving
• You’ll have real influence on how the team builds, not just what they build
• Opportunity to step into technical leadership as the team grows
• High-impact product used in complex, real-world environments

Interested?

If you’re already using AI to improve how you build software — and want to take that further in a high-impact environment — we’d love you to APPLY!
