Chief iOS Engineer

Job Description

As a Chief iOS Engineer, you will play a key role in the Mobile Center of Excellence designing, building, testing, and deploying libraries (MDK) and apps. This position requires a high degree of expertise in the iOS development space with the ability to help set standards, establish guidelines, and best practices as well as provide technical consultation and development leadership to new and ongoing mobile efforts. The candidate must have experience developing mobile apps, reusable components, working with diverse business partners and the ability to juggle multiple concurrent development efforts The Mobile Development Kit (MDK) is a collection of shared, reusable libraries for iOS and Android which implement common functionality many apps need. They help enable mobile app delivery teams to quickly build an app by reusing development efforts from previous projects on existing products so they can focus on what sets their app apart. Additionally, when there are improvements, platform support changes or critical fixes, they can be implemented in one place and then shared with all the consuming apps. This usually makes the downstream efforts a simple matter of updating the library, unless there are new or changed APIs associated with the release.
