iOS Developer & Mobile Team Lead

Are you an experienced iOS developer ready to level up and lead a mobile team? This unique role combines hands-on iOS development with the responsibilities of a Mobile Team Lead. Here’s why this two-in-one opportunity is designed for impact:

• Smooth iOS sailing: Our iOS app is clean, well-built, and scalable, so your main focus will be on adding new features rather than battling legacy issues.

• Android rules our world: About 80% of our users are on Android (hello, African communities!). Naturally, this makes Android a big focus for us, with iOS playing a more selective supporting role.

• Platform quirks: Android offers calling features that iOS just doesn’t, so enhancements for iOS tend to be fewer but impactful.
  

That’s why we’ve combined iOS development with Mobile Team Lead—where you’ll guide the whole mobile team’s journey across platforms.

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 Owner Pedro to define the vision for both iOS and Android apps. You’ll own the user experience across the board 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!
