TextNow is redefining how people connect by combining simplicity, intelligence, and accessibility, using technology to make communication more affordable and powerful for millions of users every day. The company aims to shape systems, architecture, and tooling for their iOS applications, leveraging AI and automation to accelerate development, improve performance, and resolve issues faster.
Requirements
- 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.
- 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.
Responsibilities
- 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.
Other
- A technical leader with the ability to create and lead roadmaps/initiatives that align to high-level business objectives
- 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 have been a technical leader (not just an individual contributor): you’ve influenced roadmap decisions, contributed to multi-team initiatives, mentored/led engineers, driven culture/process improvements, and interfaced with senior engineering/product leadership.
- We travel a few times a year for various team events, company wide off-sites, and more
