## About the Role

* 5+ years of building production iOS applications at scale.
 * Expertise in Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit, as well as deep understanding of client architecture and UI performance.

## Description

* As a Senior iOS Engineer on the App Experience & Frameworks team, you will build features and frameworks that enhance the app experience for millions of guests and hosts. You will work on horizontal product concerns such as app navigation, announcement scheduling, frameworks that power host required actions, and more, to lay the product foundation for bringing a more unified customer experience across platforms.
 * Success in this role looks like shipping reliable, scalable, and polished iOS experiences that both bring direct customer delight and enable feature teams to build and experiment faster.

A Typical Day

 * Collaborate closely with cross functional partners in Design and Product to rapidly ideate, prototype, develop, and ship both product features and app wide frameworks.
 * Develop prototypes to validate ideas while proactively considering long-term implications on technical design and architecture.
 * Translate prototypes to high quality, scalable, and maintainable production code through iterative development.
 * Partner with peer engineering teams to integrate new features that impact different areas within the product and continuously optimize frameworks the team owns based on developer feedback.
 * Troubleshoot and resolve bugs, accessibility, and globalization issues affecting the iOS app.
