About the Role

As a Senior Staff iOS Engineer, you will set technical direction from a native Apple home base for the systems that determine mobile quality at scale. You will shape the architecture, quality bar, and engineering foundations for iPhone and iPad today, while helping define how mobile, backend platforms, identity, release practices, and adjacent product systems work together as customer workflows expand.

This is a hands-on Senior Staff role with significant architectural ownership, multi-team leverage, and long-term product impact. You will help define how AlphaSense builds high-trust native experiences for enterprise customers who expect security, reliability, and polish by default, and raise the standard for how complex mobile-facing systems are designed, validated, and shipped across teams.

You will also help define how AI-enabled development changes mobile engineering at scale. The best version of this role is not just building with AI tools. It is setting the mobile-wide guardrails, validation practices, and engineering systems that let AlphaSense move faster without lowering the bar for quality or trust.

What you'll do

-

Own the Android platform foundation: Define the app architecture, modular boundaries, and native engineering patterns that keep AlphaSense on Android fast, reliable, secure, and maintainable across devices and form factors as the product grows.

-

Lead through hands-on system design: Work deeply in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, coroutines, and modern Android architecture while turning complex product and platform problems into clean, production-ready mobile systems.

-

Raise the bar for reliability and execution:Shape how mobile work is designed, reviewed, tested, shipped, and operated, including the automation, observability, rollout practices, and AI-enabled validation needed to move quickly with confidence.

-

Shape mobile system contracts: Bring enough iOS and backend context to align teams around API behavior, failure modes, authentication and session flows, performance expectations, ownership boundaries, and technical decisions that directly affect mobile quality.

-

Mentor and multiply: Elevate engineers across the mobile engineering team and adjacent technical teams through mentorship, technical guidance, and knowledge sharing. Shape technical culture and raise expectations for system design, operational quality, and execution.

What We're looking for

• Deep expertise in iOS platform architecture, modular design, performance, security, reliability, SwiftUI, and modern Swift concurrency in production systems, with a track record of setting standards beyond one feature team.
• Ability to reason across the application and platform systems mobile depends on, including Android constraints, backend API behavior, authentication and session flows, startup/config behavior, release risks, observability, testing strategy, identity/platform dependencies, and client/backend service contracts.
• Experience shaping client-serving API strategy, backend service boundaries, or BFF-style systems that improve product quality across mobile and adjacent client surfaces.
• Ability to read, debug, and contribute to backend APIs or BFF-style systems in stacks such as Java/Kotlin, Spring Boot, Node.js, or Python when needed to unblock mobile-facing outcomes.
• Experience shaping AI-assisted development workflows, AI harnesses, evaluation practices, or AI-driven testing systems that improve engineering velocity, product quality, and regression confidence across teams.
• Strong reliability and release-quality judgment, including experience defining testing strategy, automation, observability, CI/CD, rollout practices, and production mobile quality standards across multiple initiatives.
• Track record of leading ambiguous, multi-team technical initiatives, setting engineering standards, mentoring Staff and Senior engineers, and raising the technical bar across teams whose systems affect mobile outcomes.
• Excellent product judgment and communication skills, including the ability to connect technical decisions to customer outcomes and align teams through RFCs, ADRs, technical plans, decision records, or reusable decision frameworks.

Preferred

• Experience with iPadOS, macOS, or multi-platform Apple product experiences.
• Experience with enterprise mobile application development, MDM/MAM, or regulated customer environments.
• Experience shaping mobile design-system foundations and design-to-code workflows that improve consistency, accessibility, development velocity, and AI-assisted UI generation across native platforms.
