About the Position

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.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain high-quality iOS platform capabilities that support consumer-facing experiences.
Design and evolve the iOS architecture using MVVM, modular architecture, and modern engineering best practices.
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 while providing technical guidance through code reviews, pairing, and architecture discussions.
Define and implement testing strategies and quality practices that improve release confidence while balancing maintainability and delivery speed.
Apply AI-assisted engineering practices to improve delivery, code quality, debugging, refactoring, documentation, and tooling while maintaining engineering standards.
Communicate clearly with stakeholders, surface risks early, and keep progress visible across time zones.

Requirements

5+ years of experience as an iOS engineer with strong hands-on Swift/iOS implementation experience.
Strong hands-on experience with modern Swift Concurrency (async/await, Actors, structured concurrency) in production applications.
Strong experience building and shipping production iOS applications at scale.
Strong knowledge of MVVM and modern architectures such as TCA, Clean Architecture, or similar.
Proven experience leading technical discussions, driving architecture decisions, and influencing engineering best practices across a team.
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 experience defining testing strategy, selecting testing frameworks and quality practices, and determining appropriate unit, integration, UI, snapshot, contract, or other test coverage.
Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools to improve implementation, debugging, refactoring, testing, documentation, and development workflows.
Strong ownership mindset with the ability to operate independently, communicate progress clearly, and proactively surface risks and blockers across time zones.
Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to Have

Experience with modular iOS architecture in large-scale consumer applications.
Experience defining or improving team-level testing strategy, not just contributing individual tests.
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.
