You’ll partner with Product, Design, and Engineering leaders to shape product strategy. We want a collaborator who brings a clear technical and UX perspective—not just resourcing or delivery plans. You’ll guide the team in making thoughtful scope and priority decisions, balancing user impact, velocity, and long‑term technical health.
We believe great products come from safe‑to‑experiment cultures. You’ll create that environment: validating assumptions early, learning from real user feedback, and treating each release as a chance to improve. You’ll develop talent through regular feedback, mentorship, and career growth conversations. And you’ll represent our iOS team in org‑level planning, advocating for investment, technical excellence, and a user‑centered approach!
What We’re Looking For
10+ years of experience shipping Apple applications, with significant time delivering complex, production‑scale iOS products.
Experience managing and growing teams of senior engineers, including hiring, performance management, coaching, and career development.
Technical fluency in Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, and the iOS SDK. You can review, guide, and influence architectural decisions even when not coding daily.
Product instincts and UX sensibility—familiarity with Apple Human Interface Guidelines, a keen eye for interaction quality, and a feel for why details matter to users.
Comfort operating in ambiguous problem spaces. You help teams move from unclear problem statements to crisp execution plans.
Experience using AI‑assisted development tools at a team level—setting expectations, workflows, and guardrails for AI‑generated output.
A clear, compelling communicator who translates between technical, product, and design perspectives.
An understanding of mobile video editing workflows—or the curiosity and drive to develop that understanding quickly.
Even Better If You Have
A track record of influencing product direction, technical strategy, or design outcomes beyond your immediate team. Experience evolving engineering processes on growing teams (quality, reliability, release management). Experience building creative tools, video production software, or editing workflows. Hands‑on experience using video editing applications, with an appreciation for creative users’ needs. Familiarity with modern AI‑enabled developer tooling and practices.
