About the Role

Join us in building the future of finance. Our mission is to democratize finance for all. We are looking for bold thinkers, sharp problem-solvers, and builders who are wired to make an impact. This is a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. The Trading Tools team builds and evolves the core trading platform for active investors, integrating AI to deliver precise, personalized, and trusted trading experiences at massive scale. As Staff iOS Engineer, you will serve as the technical lead for mobile, owning the surfaces active traders use most and driving architectural decisions that scale with the product.

Responsibilities

Set the technical vision for mobile across both iOS and Android, and own the quality of execution on both while remaining hands-on in iOS to solve complex technical challenges.
Own the architecture of a scalable iOS application supporting core surfaces including stock detail, advanced charts, trading ladder, watchlists, and portfolio.
Build a modular, extensible mobile architecture with self-contained components so cross-functional teams can build, test, and ship independently.
Drive cross-platform consistency by aligning iOS and Android on architecture, data contracts, feature parity, and release sequencing.
Improve application performance, real-time data handling, observability, and release stability across core trading workflows.
Evolve charting and research experiences tailored for active traders.
Lead the integration of AI-driven capabilities into core trading, research, and portfolio workflows on mobile.
Lead technical planning and guide system design reviews, implementation discussions, and incident resolution for high-stakes trading features.
Partner with product managers, designers, backend engineers, and data teams to run experiments and drive product release decisions.
Mentor iOS and Android engineers through code reviews, technical feedback, and structured development support, helping senior engineers expand toward staff-level scope while defining engineering standards and documentation.
Influence mobile platform direction beyond the team by collaborating with adjacent organizations and company-wide initiatives.

Requirements

8+ years of professional experience developing iOS applications, including extensive experience building and maintaining large-scale apps with Swift and modern iOS frameworks (UIKit, SwiftUI).
Proven experience owning the technical direction of a product area or platform.
Experience designing mobile systems with clear architecture patterns, scalable component design, and maintainable testing strategies for data-intensive or real-time use cases.
Track record of leading technical initiatives across multiple teams or platforms, balancing short-term delivery with long-term platform improvements.
Strong working knowledge of Android development principles to set technical direction and collaborate effectively with Android engineers.
Demonstrated capability to collaborate with product, design, backend, and infrastructure partners to deliver customer-focused technical solutions.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex trading concepts into intuitive mobile experiences.
History of mentoring engineers and fostering engineering excellence.
Experience with financial platforms, trading systems, or real-time market data products (Nice to have).
Experience with server-driven UI, embedded web or React Native surfaces, live audio/video streaming, or building LLM-powered product features (Nice to have).
