Senior iOS Engineer, SDK (Remote / Contract)
Verve For Advertisers is a technology company that empowers brands and agencies to connect moments of discovery and drive measurable outcomes across screens.
As part of Verve, we've unified the company's demand-side offering, bringing together the largest on-site search intent dataset outside of walled gardens, direct SDK integrations with top apps, alongside data partnerships with 3M+ websites and LLMs. Our technology captures both what consumers do and why they do it, delivering high-fidelity audiences, insights, and activation across premium omnichannel inventory.
We're looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to own and lead our iOS SDK, a product installed in hundreds of apps and running on millions of devices. This is a high-ownership role where you'll drive technical decisions, coordinate across teams, and shape the future of our mobile platform. This position is a contract role and can work remotely anywhere in the US or outside of the US. They should be willing and open to collaborate with our US based engineering team during their business hours.
The Role
You'll be the technical point person for our iOS SDK, responsible for the full lifecycle: architecture, development, distribution, and support. You'll work closely with our Android lead to maintain a shared cross-platform core library while owning the native iOS implementation. As we grow, you'll have the opportunity to lead and mentor other engineers.
This role reports to the Display Team Lead and requires close collaboration with product, business development, QA, and our partners who integrate the SDK.
Responsibilities
Own the iOS SDK end-to-end: architecture, features, bug fixes, releases, and documentation
Manage distribution via SPM and CocoaPods, including versioning and release scheduling
Debug and resolve production issues, including integration problems reported by partners
Coordinate with Android, server, and data teams on cross-platform features and shared code
Contribute to and maintain our Unity plugin and shared JavaScript codebase
Work directly with partners and clients to support SDK integration
Drive technical direction and tooling decisions. You'll have real autonomy to do what's best for the product and our clients
Here are a few indicators that you're the right person
You take ownership. You don't wait to be told what to do. You see what needs to happen and make it happen
You communicate clearly. You're comfortable asking questions, leading meetings, and working across teams with product, business, and engineering leads
You're hands-on and self-sufficient. You can set up a CocoaPods spec, write a Unity plugin, debug a production crash, and ship a release all in the same week
You want to lead. You're excited about mentoring others and building a team as scope expands
Required Skills and Experience
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field
5+ years of professional iOS development experience
Strong proficiency in Objective-C, Swift, TypeScript and JavaScript
Experience developing, distributing, and maintaining SDKs (SPM, CocoaPods)
Familiarity with cross-platform development, experience with Unity plugin development, and/or Android is a plus
Track record of owning a product or feature area and driving it forward independently
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Hourly Rate: $40-70/hour
We’re open to allowing the right person to learn our industry on the job. We welcome diversity and non-traditional paths into all of our roles. We believe in hiring the right person as opposed to the right combination of keywords.
Communications regarding your application will only come from @jungroup.com or @verve.com email addresses.
