About the Role
You will lead the mobile engineering squad, arriving a week ahead of the developers to set up the codebase, tooling, and standards before the team scales. The resource plan calls out mobile and AI engineering for this role, so you are expected to lead a team that builds with AI-assisted engineering practices as a matter of course, not as an experiment.

- Cross-Stream Collaboration: Act as the technical counterpart to the BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) stream-the contract between app and backend is partly yours to negotiate.
- AI-Driven SDLC Acceleration: Drive AI-assisted engineering practices naturally within the team. Use approved AI tools to speed up: Code scaffolding, Unit test creation, Code review support, Technical analysis, Delivery planning.
Requirements
- Extensive hands-on experience with Native iOS development (ideally Swift / SwiftUI)
- Proven track record of building new mobile apps from the ground up
- Deep knowledge of iOS app architecture and clean code patterns
