Partner closely with Product Managers and Designers to shape product vision, define requirements, and translate ideas into thoughtful iOS implementations
Own iOS features end-to-end, from technical design and implementation through testing, release, and iteration
Contribute to and evolve the iOS architecture and engineering standards, balancing long-term maintainability with rapid product delivery
Leverage AI-assisted development tools and workflows to improve productivity, code quality, and developer experience
Help mature the team’s approach to AI usage by sharing best practices, tooling, and learnings with other engineers
Support and mentor other iOS engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance
6+ years of professional experience building and shipping production iOS applications
Strong proficiency in Swift with deep experience in UIKit; working knowledge of SwiftUI in production environments
Proven experience designing and maintaining scalable iOS architectures (e.g. MVVM, TCA, VIPER, or similar) in large codebases
Solid understanding of iOS concurrency and performance (async/await, GCD, memory management)
Experience integrating and consuming networked APIs from iOS clients, including error handling and performance considerations
Strong knowledge of iOS platform fundamentals (app lifecycle, view rendering, Auto Layout, accessibility, localization)
Experience owning iOS features end-to-end, including technical design, implementation, testing, and App Store delivery
Own meaningful projects that directly impact millions of Bumble users.
Learn and grow in a high-performing engineering team committed to mentorship and learning.
Be part of a culture that values respect, excellence, curiosity, courage and joy.
Enjoy competitive compensation, equity, and world-class benefits.
This role is based in Austin or NYC, and we ask that you’re within a commutable distance to this office, so that you’re able to come onsite regularly to collaborate across engineering teams.
We have a hybrid environment that requires you to be in the office Monday - Wednesday.
