iOS Technical Lead

RealityMine has been a pioneer in delivering data driven insights to the world's largest brands for over a decade. Our platform provides unique data solutions to our clients enabling them to make strategic, informed decisions powered by data from real people, collected in a privacy safe way.

We’re looking for an iOS Technical Lead to own and evolve our iOS apps and SDKs.

The Role:

This is a hands‑on role where you will:

·       Lead the technical direction for our iOS solutions

·       Design and implement complex features, working with Swift, Objective-C and C++ to build reliable, high‑performance components

·       Stay ahead of iOS changes and lead our response to them

·       Collaborate with product, data, and client teams to deliver robust solutions

·       Mentor other engineers, run design and code reviews, and champion best practices

·       Leverage and be open to AI-coding tools to increase productivity, reduce boilerplate and enhance code quality

Our offices are in Trafford Park, Manchester and the role consists of hybrid working, where we ask for our team to be in the office for collaboration and team building 2 days per week. The rest of the week is up to you; deep focus at home, or more of the same!

Key Responsibilities:

·       Owning the architecture and implementation of our iOS app and SDKs

·       Collaborating with product teams and implementing high-quality solutions for our specifications

·       Supporting client teams with SDK integrations and troubleshooting production issues

·       Improving test coverage, observability, and reliability across a wide device base

·       Adhering to Company Policies and Procedures with respect to Security, Quality and Health & Safety.

About You:

You’re an experienced iOS engineer who enjoys both deep technical work and taking a more high-level view.

You must have:

·       Strong experience building and shipping iOS apps in Swift/Objective-C

·       Experience with networking on iOS (HTTP(S), TLS, sockets, proxies, etc)

·       Experience integrating or working with native (C++) libraries

·       Solid knowledge of iOS SDK/API design, versioning and supporting external integrators

·       Familiarity with Apple Developer policies and how iOS changes may affect apps

·       Strong debugging skills (crashes, performance, battery) and good testing practices

·       Experience mentoring other engineers or providing technical leadership within a team

You should have:

·       Experience with VPNs

·       Exposure to privacy-sensitive domains (e.g. GDPR, privacy-by-design)

·       Some experience with building macOS applications
