About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated lead engineer to join our Applle engineering team. This is a unique opportunity for an engineer with strong technical instincts and a collaborative spirit to work directly on the personalized streaming experience for our growing mobile customer base. As a senior technical contributor and team guide, you will help the team navigate complex problems in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment. This role sits at the intersection of deep Apple platform engineering and AI-native development: daily use of AI agents and AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) and hands-on collaboration with ML and data science teams on client-facing features.

Responsibilities

Explore, evaluate, and implement new technologies to optimize development efficiency and productivity.
Evaluate opportunities to bring new technical features to mobile users.
Develop technical requirements documentation based on product requirements.
Technical development, debugging, and delivery of best-in-class tvOS and iOS native applications.
Promote good business practices in a positive and constructive manner.
Foster a positive work environment that encourages collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.
Collaborate successfully with cross-functional teams to define, design, and deploy new features.
Cultivate strong working relationships with colleagues, customers (internal and external), and company management.
Work closely with your team to ensure the timely delivery of features and improvements.
Successfully manage multiple tasks and projects in a results-driven environment.
Perform any other duties and responsibilities assigned by management.

Requirements

7+ years of Apple development experience.
Acted as a key contributor to at least one publically released native iPhone application.
Experience working with Agile development processes.
BS/BA degree in a technical field such as Computer Science or equivalent experience.
Background supporting the integration of rich media assets, including video, into mobile properties.
Experience building data-driven or server-driven UI — personalized feeds, ranked content surfaces, dynamic layouts, and the pagination, prefetching, and cache invalidation strategies that keep high-velocity content feeling fast and fresh.
Experience working with entertainment, games, news, or sports-related properties preferred.
Continuous Build & Test Automation experience.
Understanding of streaming video and DRM concepts.
Knowledge of Localization practices and concepts in Xcode.
Experience with Swift Package Manager.

Skills

Excellent programming skills in Swift.
In-depth knowledge of the iOS and tvOS platforms and deep knowledge with Xcode.
Sound programming fundamentals: experience working with memory management, multi-threaded programming, animations, etc.
Experience working on UI design for all size-classes.
Experience in consuming RESTful APIs to connect with back-end services.
Strong problem solving and architectural skills.
Experience with A/B testing, feature flagging, and client-side experimentation — including experiment assignment, holdout groups, and measuring feature impact within an existing testing framework.
Experience integrating ad-serving products into Apple applications — familiarity with ad surfaces, impression tracking, and working alongside ad tech teams in a production environment.
Working familiarity with ML-driven product features — enough to collaborate skillfully with data science teams on API contracts, discuss what signals the client should capture, and reason about whether issues are a data, model, or rendering problem.
Excellent interpersonal skills; able to work well with non-technical members of the development team.
Ability to assist others in a technical capacity.
Good communication and interpersonal skills.
