About the Role
We’re looking for an iOS Engineer with serious chops — someone who builds smooth, reliable, and high-performing apps. You’ll work on complex mobile experiences that power crypto access for thousands of users across Africa (and beyond). Whether you’re a senior engineer ready to deepen your impact or a staff engineer ready to lead architectural decisions and mentor the next generation, this role was made for you.

What You’ll Be Owning

Drive Mobile Engineering Excellence

• In your first 90 days: Own and optimize our iOS app’s architecture, make it scalable, fast, and future-proof.

• By 6 months: Lead cross-functional delivery with product and design, shipping major features that delight users.

• On-going: Define and enforce iOS best practices, from code quality to performance optimization.

Technical Leadership

• Be a thought leader on the team and across the organization

• Lead technical decisions around native iOS contributions

• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers to elevate the team’s output and culture.

• Architect and develop mobile strategy in alignment with Quidax’s growth and crypto roadmap.

Team & Culture Building

• Balancing rapid feature delivery with bulletproof app performance and stability—no pressure.

• Navigating complex integrations between native and web content without losing your mind.

• Driving technical strategy and implementation for iOS, including architecture, performance, and security

• Raising the technical bar while mentoring others and keeping delivery fast

• Balancing product velocity with long-term architectural decisions

• Experience architecting and developing solutions to ambiguous problems with significant impact

• Strong command of Swift, SwiftUI, and mobile architecture principles
