iOS Developer & Mobile Team Lead

Location: Amsterdam, we work from the office on Mondays and Thursdays; the rest of the week is flexible. 
Hours: 32-40 hours per week 
Startdate: October 

About the Role:  

At Talk360, we are on a mission to enable Africans abroad to support and stay connected with their loved ones in Africa through a community-driven, reliable, affordable, and accessible international calling experience. 

We’re growing fast, and to accelerate our impact, we’re looking for  IOS Developer & Mobile Team Lead to join us. In this role, you’ll combine hands-on iOS development, with a focus on iOS and Kotlin Multi-Platform (KMP), with leading our mobile team, shaping the future of apps used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide every month. 

Why this role is different: 

• A Unified Future with KMP: We are strategically adopting Kotlin Multi-Platform to share code and create a more consistent, efficient development process. You will be at the forefront of this transition, driving the architecture for our shared codebase. 

• Bridging Two Worlds: About 80% of our users are on Android. Our investment in KMP allows us to better serve our entire user base, ensuring high-quality features are developed once and deployed everywhere, while still building an excellent native iOS experience. 

• Hybrid Power: Our app leverages web technologies for flexibility and rapid feature delivery. You'll work on a true hybrid product, mastering the integration between native code and web components to deliver a seamless user experience. 

That’s why we need a lead who is strong in iOS but also embraces Kotlin and a shared-code architecture to guide the whole mobile team’s journey. 

As our Mobile Team Lead, you’ll guide the mobile team, work with our Android dev Vahagn and frontend dev Isah and collaborate with our Product Lead Pedro to define the vision for both iOS and Android apps. You’ll own the mobile user experience, ensuring consistency through our shared KMP codebase and hybrid web components, and help bring exciting new features to life. 

If you’re excited to level up, lead, and make an impact across platforms, we’d love to have you onboard! 

Who is Talk360?

Our technology bridges the gap for over 41% of the global population without reliable internet access, particularly focusing on African communities worldwide by allowing calls to both online and offline numbers. Join us in our mission to build a brighter, more connected future for all, one line of code at a time. 

What you’ll do: 

• Serve as the Mobile Team Lead, overseeing both iOS and Android app development and quality. 

• Lead the development of our iOS app while driving the architecture and expansion of our shared Kotlin Multi-Platform (KMP) codebase. 

• Champion and expand the use of Kotlin Multi-Platform (KMP) to increase code sharing and efficiency between our iOS and Android apps.

• Continuously improve the apps, incorporating user feedback and best practices. 

• Document app architecture and uphold technical standards across the tech stack.
