About the role

We're excited by people who are curious and experimental, and who think thoughtfully about how AI can amplify their impact and outcomes.
We encourage you to use AI responsibly as you prepare your application.

Set technical direction for complex iOS initiatives across Bumble For Friends and Plans, translating product ambition into scalable mobile architecture that supports friendship, group, and community experiences.
Collaborate with purpose across mobile, backend, product, design, data, and safety partners to define pragmatic technical paths, resolve trade-offs, and see work through from insight to impact.
Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, architecture discussions, debugging practices, and testing strategy, creating a culture of Respect where strong technical debate leads to better outcomes.
You take ownership of complex technical problems, collaborate with purpose across disciplines, and demonstrate an agile mindset when balancing product impact, engineering quality, speed, and long-term maintainability.
You model Bumble's values of Courage, Respect, and Curiosity by mentoring others, welcoming different perspectives, raising quality standards, and staying open and excited about AI as a helpful engineering partner where it responsibly improves how teams learn, build, and deliver.
You'll work across product, design, data, backend, and mobile engineering to reimagine how iOS experiences can make it easier, safer, and more joyful for people to find friends, discover plans, and build community in their everyday lives.
AI is used only to support our team's efficiency and improve the candidate experience - not to evaluate or decide on your candidacy.

Typically requires 10+ years of experience, though we welcome candidates with alternative backgrounds that demonstrate equivalent skills.
You have built and shipped production iOS applications at scale, with strong proficiency in Swift, deep experience in UIKit, and working knowledge of SwiftUI in production environments.
You understand how to integrate and consume networked APIs from iOS clients, including resilient error handling, performance considerations, offline or degraded states, and thoughtful user experience when systems fail.
You have strong knowledge of iOS platform fundamentals, including app lifecycle, view rendering, accessibility, localisation, testing, release quality, and App Store delivery.
You have experience with CI/CD pipelines (CircleCI, Github Actions) to maintain workflow configurations, managing builds, test, and release automation.

AI Fluency AI is important to us.
Please don't use it to fabricate experiences or answer questions live in interviews.
