TextNow Candidate Policy By submitting an application to TextNow, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with the TextNow Candidate Policy What You'll Do Design, develop, and sustain high-performance iOS applications using Swift, SwiftUI, and Objective-C. Lead architectural modernization and modularization to improve scalability and cross-platform reuse. Define and own the entire lifecycle of your systems: feature ideation, API design, instrumentation, deployment (CI/CD), live-traffic monitoring, unit/UI/e2e testing, user telemetry & data analysis, experiment design (A/B tests), and continuous iteration. Influence and evolve our architecture: propose and lead initiatives to decompose monoliths, build shared libraries and frameworks, improve modularization, enable reuse across iOS, Android, Web; evaluate new Apple platform capabilities (e.g., new OS releases, device types, form factors, architectures) and lead their adoption. Apply AI-driven tools and automation frameworks to speed up development, code analysis, testing, and reliability. Leverage intelligent telemetry, analytics, and optimization pipelines to improve app performance and user experience. Define observability standards, telemetry pipelines, and fault-tolerance strategies for production-grade systems. Partner closely with product, design, backend, and data teams to deliver seamless, high-quality user experiences. Drive technical discussions, mentor developers, and influence strategic direction across mobile platforms. Who You Are A technical leader with the ability to create and lead roadmaps/initiatives that align to high-level business objectives Deep expertise in Swift, SwiftUI, and modern concurrency (async/await, actors). Proven track record of architecting modular, maintainable systems that balance speed and reliability. Strong background in performance optimization, observability, and system-level debugging. Experience using AI and automation to improve developer velocity, reliability, or product intelligence. A collaborative technical leader who thrives in fast-moving environments and mentors others to excel. Passionate about creating elegant, high-performance mobile experiences across Apple’s ecosystem. You architect for observability, reliability and production-readiness: you understand instrumentation, SLOs/SLIs, fault-tolerance, runbooks, incident triage, scalable telemetry pipelines, and production diagnostics for mobile clients. You have been a technical leader (not just an individual contributor): you’ve influenced roadmap decisions, contributed to multi-team initiatives, mentored/led developers, driven culture/process improvements, and interfaced with senior developer/product leadership.
