iOS SDK Engineer (Mid/Senior)

About the role

The role builds and maintains Verve's iOS HyBid SDK for advertisers and publishers, operating under strict memory and thread-safety constraints inside third-party apps. The position targets mid to senior engineers who own architecture decisions and delivery for SDK distribution channels. You will translate ambiguous product requirements into robust framework-level solutions while balancing performance, compatibility, and stability across diverse client environments. You will partner closely with product, data, and platform teams to define interfaces, validate behavior, and ensure the SDK meets stringent quality standards. A significant portion of the work involves deep collaboration across iOS and Android to ensure consistent behavior and synchronized releases across ecosystems. You will own the full lifecycle of SDK components, from initial design and implementation through testing, release, and iterative improvement based on real-world feedback. Clear written and verbal communication is essential, as you will explain technical trade-offs in plain language to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Key facts

What you'll do

Core modules of the iOS HyBid SDK are developed, refined, and maintained, with senior ownership guiding framework evolution under memory and thread-safety constraints.

Framework bundles for Swift Package Manager are built and validated alongside legacy channels, and migration from CocoaPods to SPM is led to prevent ecosystem disruption before late 2026 changes.

GitHub Actions maintains configuration workflows, while unit and integration tests are written and validated in cloud-hosted environments such as BrowserStack and Sauce Labs to advance full automation.

You will implement and verify privacy and attribution technologies including SKAdNetwork and privacy manifest configurations to ensure compliance and reliable measurement.

You will design and deliver reusable components and utilities that can be consumed by external clients, ensuring consistent patterns and predictable behavior across integrations.

You will analyze and resolve complex issues related to dynamic loading, runtime initialization, and interaction within constrained memory and threading contexts of host applications.

You will coordinate with cross-functional partners to scope, estimate, and prioritize work in an agile environment, translating requirements into test-backed software components.

You will leverage modern AI tools such as Copilot and LLMs to boost productivity, accelerate debugging, and maintain high code quality throughout the development lifecycle.

You will validate SDK behavior using cloud-based testing platforms, simulating a wide range of device, OS, and network conditions to surface edge cases before release.

You will contribute to documentation, code samples, and integration guides that enable publishers and advertisers to adopt the SDK smoothly and efficiently.

You will monitor release health, analyze crash reports and performance metrics, and drive iterative improvements based on production data and user feedback.

You will mentor junior engineers on best practices for framework development, code quality, and debugging techniques within the iOS ecosystem.

You will participate in code reviews, ensuring that changes meet architectural standards, are safe for inclusion in third-party apps, and do not introduce regressions.

You will engage with evolving industry standards, compiler toolchains, and Apple platform updates to future-proof the SDK and reduce technical debt.

You will manage build pipelines, versioning, and distribution artifacts to support multiple deployment channels and customer integration scenarios.

Requirements

The posting states a minimum of 2 years of experience.

Swift and Objective-C operational capability must include clear understanding of ARC rules, multi-threaded profiling (Instruments), and asynchronous protocol layers.

Building and delivering SDKs into varying host environments must be understood beyond standard app development constraints.

Fundamental Android (Kotlin/Java) patterns must be navigable to perform comparative logic tracking when troubleshooting feature parity.

GCP or Google Cloud environments must be used pragmatically, and modern AI tools such as Copilot and LLMs must be applied to boost productivity, accelerate debugging, and maintain high code quality.

Level II requires 3+ years of professional iOS application engineering, with hands-on exposure to framework development, module creation, or large-scale shared developer utilities distributed to external clients.

Level II must independently translate predefined designs and structured agile tickets into clean, test-backed, and reliable software components.

Level III requires 6+ years of specialized iOS software development, with a verified history of deploying, optimizing, and scaling static and dynamic binaries (.framework and .xcframework) consumed by third-party applications.

Level III must initiate and manage architectural refactoring, framework transitions, and foundational technical-debt reduction projects independently.

Level III must master modern Swift and large-scale Objective-C, with expert grasp of iOS runtime mechanics, memory management (ARC), and Grand Central Dispatch (GCD).

A degree is required as part of the formal qualifications for this position.

Minimum professional experience thresholds are defined as 3+ years for Level II and 6+ years for Level III in relevant technical domains.

Experience must demonstrate operational fluency in the specified technologies, tooling, and quality practices described above.
