• Collaborate with the Human Interface Design team to create intuitive, accessible user interfaces that simplify camera setup, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
• Optimize existing code paths to reduce CPU, memory, and battery consumption while preserving video quality and responsiveness.
• Conduct thorough code reviews, write unit and integration tests, and champion best practices for code quality and maintainability.
• Work closely with privacy and security engineers to ensure compliance with global data protection regulations and to safeguard user data.
• Participate in agile ceremonies, provide accurate sprint estimates, and communicate progress to stakeholders across multiple time zones.
• Mentor junior engineers, share knowledge about iOS performance tuning, and contribute to the continuous improvement of the development process.
• Investigate and resolve complex bugs reported by customers, leveraging logs, crash reports, and remote debugging tools.
• Drive innovation by proposing new features, architectural enhancements, and emerging technologies that can elevate the home security experience.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Minimum of 2 years of professional iOS development experience, with a strong focus on Swift and Objective‑C.
• Demonstrated expertise in video processing, including live streaming, encoding/decoding, and playback on iOS devices.
• Solid understanding of networking protocols (HTTP/2, WebSockets, RTP/RTCP) and experience implementing secure communication channels.
• Proven ability to diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks across the iOS software stack, from kernel to UI layers.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of effective collaboration in distributed teams.
• Passion for creating user‑centric solutions and a curiosity-driven mindset that seeks to solve ordinary problems in extraordinary ways.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with HomeKit accessory development, particularly security cameras or other IoT devices.
• Familiarity with Core Media, AVFoundation, and Metal for advanced video rendering and processing.
• Knowledge of machine learning techniques for video analytics, such as motion detection or facial recognition.
• Previous work on chat or messaging platforms, including real‑time synchronization and message queuing.
• Contributions to open‑source iOS projects or a strong personal portfolio of published apps.
• Understanding of privacy‑by‑design principles and experience navigating GDPR, CCPA, or similar regulations.

Core Skills & Competencies

• Technical Proficiency: Mastery of Swift, Objective‑C, Xcode, and the iOS SDK, with a deep grasp of memory management, concurrency, and performance profiling tools.
• Problem‑Solving: Ability to break down complex technical challenges into manageable tasks and deliver elegant, scalable solutions.
• Collaboration: Comfortable working in cross‑functional teams, sharing ideas openly, and incorporating feedback from designers, product managers, and QA engineers.
• Customer Empathy: A keen sense for how end‑users interact with home security products, translating that empathy into reliable, user‑friendly software.
• Adaptability: Thrive in a fast‑moving environment where priorities shift, new technologies emerge, and continuous learning is expected.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous focus on the smallest data points—such as latency spikes or pixel artifacts—that can impact the overall user experience.
