→Help own the architecture and technical roadmap for the iOS platform

→Contribute to modernization efforts that move the codebase toward a modern, scalable, shared platform underneath multiple apps

→Balance new feature delivery, legacy maintenance, and platform modernization work as we prepare the app for faster feature delivery

→Partner closely with our mobile lead, product, design, and engineering leadership on technical direction, and collaborate with mobile engineering partners on shared work

→Work across a wide surface area of APIs and services, bringing consumer-app polish to an operationally complex, enterprise-scale problem

→Help set the technical bar for iOS at Zūm: code quality, architecture patterns, and how the team approaches modernization

→Leverage AI tooling to accelerate development, improve code quality, and speed up modernization work

→Modernize legacy features of the app toward current SwiftUI patterns without stalling feature delivery

→Contribute to a shared platform layer that multiple Zūm apps (Driver, Parent, Student, School, Charter) can build on top of, instead of duplicating logic across codebases

→Rework how the app handles a large and growing surface area of APIs so the codebase stays maintainable as complexity increases

→Improve app performance and memory footprint, and build out telemetry/monitoring so the team can see how the app behaves in production

→Help identify which parts of the current app are worth keeping versus updating, and execute

5+ years of professional iOS engineering experience, with real depth

Strong, current command of Swift and SwiftUI; you're living in modern iOS development

Experience owning meaningful parts of a consumer-facing app end-to-end, not just a single feature, page, or internal tool

A product-first orientation: comfortable with infrastructure work, but your track record is primarily product-driven

Experience working in a complex, consumer-facing app environment (think feature-rich apps with a large user base vs. a narrow enterprise tool or an SDK)

Comfort contributing to architectural decisions and modernization efforts at scale

Experience modernizing a legacy iOS app while it's still shipping features (preferred)

Background at a company with a small-to-mid-sized mobile team, where you had real hands-on ownership (preferred)

Experience partnering with an engineering leader or mobile lead on setting technical direction (preferred)
