Who You Are

You'll contribute to the refinement, packaging, and optimization of Verve's iOS HyBid SDK ecosystem, implementing strategic features, optimizing core networking and ad-rendering modules, and verifying stability across our deployment pipeline. This is SDK and framework work, with the strict memory and thread-safety constraints that come with running inside third-party applications, so understanding the unique constraints of building an SDK matters here.

We're hiring across two levels on the same team:

• Level II (Engineer II): you translate predefined designs and structured agile tickets into clean, test-backed, reliable software components, collaborating closely with the team
• Level III (Senior): you hold technical ownership over the architecture, delivery mechanisms, and foundational stability of the SDK, working with the strategic autonomy to protect our runtime footprint and steer our distribution matrix through major industry paradigm shifts

What You Will Do

• SDK Core Development & Architecture: Develop, refine, and maintain the core functional modules of the iOS HyBid SDK, and at the senior level, architect and lead the evolution of the framework, focusing on strict memory-constraint adherence, explicit thread-safety, backward compatibility, and conflict-free execution across external application host environments.
• Product Collaboration: Partner with product managers and business stakeholders to estimate feature effort, refine technical requirements, and prioritize delivery, from sprint-level scope to strategic SDK roadmaps driven by technical feasibility and business impact.
• Cross-Platform Parity: Work alongside the Android team, reading and navigating the Kotlin/Java codebase to cross-reference logic, guarantee behavioral consistency, and keep release scopes synchronized across platforms.
• Team Collaboration, Compliance & Leadership: Engage in day-to-day agile cycles, addressing bugs, reviewing peer code changes, and maintaining implementation documents, and as you grow, manage privacy manifest configurations, SKAdNetwork metadata architectures, and binary-size constraint validation; and provide technical guidance and code reviews for the engineering staff.
• Migration & Packaging: Build and validate framework bundles for Swift Package Manager (SPM) distribution alongside current legacy channels. At the senior level, formulate and lead the overarching migration strategy to move the SDK's distribution model from CocoaPods to SPM, avoiding disruptions ahead of the late 2026 ecosystem changes.
• Embedded Telemetry: Develop and test isolated tracking submodules that securely log local runtime faults and structure exception-data delivery, a sandboxed, fully isolated system that captures SDK-specific faults cleanly without intercepting the host application's crash frameworks.
• Mediation & Rendering: Build, polish, and optimize ad-rendering modules and monetization adapters, focusing on our primary AppLovin MAX integration channels and maintaining robust Objective-C/Swift layout integrations.
• Automation Frameworks: Maintain configuration workflows under GitHub Actions, write unit and integration tests, and validate execution on cloud-hosted test environments (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs), driving the move from manual hardware testing into fully automated continuous integration.

What You Will Bring

Core (all levels):

• Solid operational capability across Swift and Objective-C, with a clear understanding of ARC rules, multi-threaded profiling (Instruments), and asynchronous protocol layers
• A clear understanding of the unique constraints of building an SDK and delivering robust SDKs into varying host environments, not just standard app development
• Comfort navigating and reading fundamental Android (Kotlin/Java) patterns to perform comparative logic tracking when troubleshooting feature parity
• Familiarity with GCP / Google Cloud environments, and a pragmatic, safe approach to leveraging modern AI development tools (e.g., Copilot, LLMs) to boost productivity, accelerate debugging, and maintain high code quality

Level II (Engineer II):

• 3+ years of professional iOS application engineering, with hands-on exposure to framework development, module creation, or large-scale shared developer utilities distributed to external clients
• Ability to independently translate predefined designs and structured agile tickets into clean, test-backed, and reliable software components

Level III (Senior):

• 6+ years of specialized iOS software development, with a verified history of deploying, optimizing, and scaling static and dynamic binaries (.framework and .xcframework outputs) consumed by third-party applications
• Proven background initiating and managing architectural refactoring, framework transitions, and foundational technical-debt reduction projects independently
• Master-level proficiency bridging modern Swift with large-scale legacy Objective-C, with an expert grasp of iOS runtime mechanics, memory management (ARC), and Grand Central Dispatch (GCD)
