Senior Software Engineer - iOS (Contract)

📋 Description

• • Architect and own the next generation of Complex’s flagship iOS app, written 100 % in Swift, powering millions of monthly active users who discover, shop, and share culture at the speed of the internet.
• • Translate high-impact product briefs—from exclusive sneaker drops to shoppable editorial features—into pixel-perfect, performant native experiences that feel as premium as the brands we cover.
• • Lead end-to-end feature development across commerce and content, including new checkout flows, real-time drop notifications, interactive video players, and immersive AR try-on experiences that turn hype into revenue.
• • Design and implement reusable, testable architecture patterns (MVVM-C, Coordinators, Combine, async/await) that scale across multiple squads and future-proof the codebase for rapid experimentation.
• • Partner daily with backend, API, and DevOps engineers to integrate GraphQL services, headless CMS endpoints, Shopify storefront APIs, and real-time inventory systems while maintaining sub-second load times.
• • Instrument every screen with first-class analytics, A/B testing, and feature-flag frameworks (Firebase, Optimizely, LaunchDarkly) so that product, editorial, and brand teams can iterate on culture-defining moments in hours, not weeks.
• • Champion performance and stability: reduce cold-start time by 30 %, eliminate memory leaks, and cut crash-free rate to 99.9 % using Instruments, Xcode Metrics, and custom observability dashboards.
• • Conduct rigorous code reviews, write clear technical specs, and mentor junior engineers through pair-programming and weekly architecture guilds, raising the bar for Swift craftsmanship across the organization.
• • Triage and resolve production issues in real time, leveraging crashlytics logs, distributed tracing, and user session replays to protect revenue during high-traffic product launches and ComplexCon live streams.
• • Stay ahead of Apple’s evolving ecosystem—adopting SwiftUI, WidgetKit, and StoreKit 2 the moment they give our community a richer, more seamless experience.
• • Work fully remote on Eastern Standard Time, joining daily stand-ups, weekly demos, and monthly virtual ComplexCon “watch parties” that keep the culture—and the code—alive.
