• Develop background and system-level iOS services that ensure reliable device connectivity, synchronization, and data transfer.
• Leverage Swift and Combine to build resilient, efficient, and maintainable reactive pipelines for connectivity and data management.
• Collaborate closely with embedded firmware, mobile, and cloud engineers to diagnose and resolve issues across a distributed system.
• Drive continuous improvement of performance, power efficiency, and reliability in the WHOOP connectivity layer.
• Champion strong software architectural principles for testable, scalable, maintainable software on your own team and across the organization.
• Document new features and architecture using Jira, Confluence and preparing code using Github feature, develop, and master branches.
• Participate in the release process, including getting the app built, managing build variants, signing, sending and testing through Firebase, and submitting to the App store.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of professional iOS software engineering experience with a solid foundation in Swift, iOS system APIs, concurrency, and memory management.
• Hands-on experience with Combine and background task processing for non-UI iOS features.
• Demonstrated examples applying architectural and platform-based software design principals to build scalable, modular, testable software.
• Experience debugging and diagnosing issues across complex or distributed systems (for example: firmware, mobile, backend) is a strong plus.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with a focus on cross-functional problem solving.
• Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions.
