Job Brief:
We are looking for a Senior iOS Developer to join our mobile engineering team and help deliver seamless, high-quality mobile products used by millions of users worldwide. You will work closely with product, design, and backend teams — taking ownership of features from concept through to production — and bring the technical leadership expected of a senior engineer.
Beyond native iOS expertise, we expect our engineers to be fluent with AI-powered development tools and to actively integrate them into daily workflows. From accelerating Swift development and automating test coverage to generating documentation and supporting code reviews, AI fluency is now a core part of how we build great software at VentureDive.

VentureDive Overview:
Founded in 2012 by veteran technology entrepreneurs from MIT and Stanford, VentureDive is the fastest-growing technology company in the region that develops and invests in products and solutions that simplify and improve the lives of people worldwide. We aspire to create a technology organization and an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region that is recognized as second to none in the world.

Key Responsibilities

iOS Engineering & Delivery

• Design, develop, test, document, deploy, support, and sustain production-grade iOS mobile applications.
• Work with product and design teams to understand end-user requirements and translate them into pragmatic, elegant technical solutions.
• Gather and clarify requirements around functionality and deliver clean, well-structured implementations.
• Prepare technical documentation and write comprehensive unit and UI tests to optimize app performance and reliability.
• Conduct thorough code reviews and contribute ideas — both technical and product-focused — to enhance the overall app experience.
• Continuously discover, evaluate, and adopt new technologies and frameworks to maximize development efficiency and app quality.

Architecture & Engineering Excellence

• Apply and advocate for clean architectural patterns (MVVM, VIPER, TCA, or equivalent) across the mobile codebase.
• Understand full-stack functionality, software design guidelines, the broader mobile landscape, and emerging iOS ecosystem trends.
• Champion modular, testable, and maintainable code — setting the bar for the team's engineering standards.
• Contribute to technical roadmaps, sprint planning, and cross-functional architecture discussions.

Qualifications & Experience

Core iOS Skills

• 5+ years of commercial iOS application development experience.
• Strong proficiency in Swift; Objective-C experience for legacy codebase familiarity.
• Proficient with SwiftUI and structured concurrency (async/await). RxSwift is a plus.
• Solid experience with the Combine framework for reactive programming.
• Experience implementing and consuming REST APIs in iOS applications.
• Strong understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Protocol-Oriented Programming (POP).
• Proficient with multiple architectural patterns (MVVM, VIPER, TCA, Clean Architecture) and clean code design.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Bitrise, Fastlane, Xcode Cloud, or equivalent).
• Sound working knowledge of Git workflows — branching, PRs, code review, and versioning strategies.
• Ability to write meaningful unit tests, UI tests, and snapshot tests as part of standard delivery.
• Good conceptual understanding of software design principles, performance optimization, and code quality.
• Experience working in Agile teams with strong collaboration and communication skills.
• Demonstrable, hands-on experience using AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent) in real iOS product work — not just personal experimentation.
• Ability to craft effective prompts for Swift code generation, test creation, debugging assistance, and documentation tasks.
• Sharp judgement on when AI output is wrong, incomplete, hallucinated, or insecure — with the discipline to verify, test, and refactor before merging, including identifying retain cycles, thread-safety issues, incorrect API usage, and iOS-specific security concerns.
• Proficiency in defining and sharing reusable AI workflows — capturing Cursor rules, system prompts, and custom tooling configurations as versioned team assets that improve consistency and accelerate iOS delivery across the team.
• Familiarity with Apple's on-device AI/ML frameworks (Core ML, Create ML, Vision, Natural Language) and an interest in integrating intelligent features into mobile products.
• Awareness of AI-assisted UI testing and accessibility tooling for iOS is a plus.
• Awareness of AI-assisted development risks — including IP and licensing exposure, data leakage, and prompt injection — and the practices that mitigate them in a client project context.

Education

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field from a recognised university.
• Supplementary learning through Apple Developer certifications, WWDC sessions, open-source contributions, or AI tooling courses is highly valued.

Soft Skills

• Strong technical communicator — able to articulate decisions clearly to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborative team player with a positive, constructive approach to code reviews and design discussions.
• Self-driven and proactive — takes ownership of features and delivery without requiring close supervision.
• Passionate about mobile craft: app quality, performance, accessibility, and a great end-user experience.
• Growth mindset with genuine curiosity about the evolving iOS ecosystem and AI-assisted development landscape.
