About the role We are looking for a Lead iOS Engineer to support a platform-focused team at Bumble, contributing hands-on to iOS implementation while raising the technical bar across architecture, quality practices, and AI-assisted delivery. You will design and maintain MVVM-based iOS architecture, integrate third-party SDKs and cloud-connected platform functionality, and select and implement appropriate testing strategies for the team. The role requires strong ownership in a high-ambiguity environment, turning unclear requirements into clear technical plans with minimal supervision.
What you will do ● Design, build, and maintain high-quality iOS platform capabilities that support consumer-facing experiences; ● Contribute hands-on to iOS architecture and implementation, including MVVM and modular architecture patterns where appropriate; ● Integrate third-party SDKs and platform services into the iOS application; ● Work across networking layers, API integrations, and backend-connected mobile features; ● Support Cloud Code-related implementation and integration needs where applicable; ● Own iOS work end-to-end, from technical design and implementation through validation, release readiness, and iteration; ● Select, introduce, and implement appropriate testing and quality tools based on the codebase, delivery needs, and platform constraints; ● Improve release confidence through pragmatic quality practices, balancing test coverage, maintainability, delivery speed, and platform constraints; ● Provide technical guidance through code reviews, pairing, and architecture discussions; ● Apply AI-assisted engineering practices where they improve delivery speed, code quality, debugging, refactoring, documentation, or tooling, while maintaining engineering judgment and review discipline; ● Communicate clearly with stakeholders, surface risks early, and keep progress visible across time zones.
Must haves ● 5+ years of experience as an iOS engineer with strong hands-on Swift/iOS implementation experience; ● Strong experience building and shipping production iOS applications at scale; ● Practical experience designing and maintaining iOS architecture, especially MVVM; ● Strong ownership mindset: able to operate with limited supervision, take ambiguous requirements, validate assumptions, and turn them into clear technical plans; ● Experience integrating third-party SDKs in production mobile applications; ● Strong understanding of networking, API integration, error handling, and mobile-backend interaction patterns; ● Experience with Cloud Code or comparable cloud-connected mobile/platform functionality; ● Strong judgment around iOS quality practices, including the ability to choose and implement appropriate testing tools for the team rather than only writing tests; ● Ability to evaluate the team’s quality needs and select suitable approaches for unit, integration, UI, snapshot, contract, or other relevant test coverage; ● Comfortable using AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly as part of normal development work, including implementation support, debugging, refactoring, documentation, test/tooling work, and technical exploration; ● Strong communication habits, visible progress updates, early risk/blocker escalation, and reliable collaboration across time zones; ● Upper-intermediate English level.
Nice to haves ● Experience with modular iOS architecture in large-scale consumer applications; ● Experience defining or improving team-level testing strategy, not just contributing individual tests; ● Experience introducing or improving testing tooling for iOS teams; ● Experience working on platform teams or shared mobile foundations used by multiple product teams; ● Experience with cloud-connected mobile features, backend-for-frontend patterns, or services that require close mobile/backend coordination; ● Prior experience in high-ambiguity environments where requirements need discovery, validation, and technical shaping before implementation; ● Practical experience using AI tools to improve engineering workflows while preserving code quality, security, and authenticity.
Perks and benefits ● Professional growth: Accelerate your professional journey with mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps ● Competitive compensation: We match your ever-growing skills, talent, and contributions with competitive USD-based compensation and budgets for education, fitness, and team activities ● A selection of exciting projects: Join projects with modern solutions development and top-tier clients that include Fortune 500 enterprises and leading product brands ● Flextime: Tailor your schedule for an optimal work-life balance, by having the options of working from home and going to the office — whatever makes you the happiest and most productive.
