The Role
Own the iOS application’s architecture and technical direction while building high-performance OTT video experiences. Lead playback capabilities including buffering, adaptive bitrate streaming, DRM, and picture-in-picture. Drive performance optimization, code review standards, and engineering practices. Collaborate with product and backend teams on feature design, mentor engineers, and solve complex issues involving memory leaks, concurrency, and frame drops.

About Enveu
Enveu powers OTT and streaming experiences for broadcasters and content owners globally. Our iOS engineers work on high-performance video delivery, complex playback architectures, and consumer-grade apps used by millions. This is not a maintenance role — you will own, design, and drive iOS engineering decisions.
You are a fit if you have
- Built and shipped at least one iOS app with 50k+ active users — you know what production scale feels like
- Owned architecture decisions — not just followed patterns someone else set, but chosen between MVVM, VIPER, Clean Architecture and justified why
- Gone deep on Swift — you can explain memory management, value vs reference types, concurrency with async/await and actors without hesitation
- Designed systems on a whiteboard — you can architect an offline-first app, a video player module, or a real-time feed from scratch
- Mentored at least one junior or mid-level iOS developer
- Debugged hard problems — memory leaks, race conditions, frame drops — and have stories to tell about them
What you will own at Enveu
- Architecture and technical direction of the iOS application
- Video playback experience — buffering, adaptive bitrate, DRM, PiP
- Performance benchmarking and optimization of the app
- Code review standards and engineering best practices for the iOS team
- Collaboration with product and backend on feature design, not just implementation
Technical depth we expect
- Swift — deep understanding, not just syntax familiarity. Concurrency, memory management, protocol-oriented design
- Architecture patterns — MVVM, VIPER, or Clean Architecture. You know the components, the trade-offs, and when to use what
- UIKit and SwiftUI — can work in both, knows when each is appropriate
- Video technologies — AVFoundation, HLS, DRM (FairPlay), adaptive streaming is a strong plus and the space you'll grow deepest in
- System design — can design a video caching layer, a modular app architecture, or an offline sync system
What we are not looking for
- Developers who have followed patterns without understanding them
- Ticket-takers who need detailed specs to execute
- Someone who hasn't shipped to the App Store in a real production environment
Experience — Typically 5+ years of iOS development, but we care far more about depth than years.
Skills Required
- Built and shipped at least one iOS app with 50,000 or more active users
- Experience owning and justifying architecture decisions using patterns such as MVVM, VIPER, or Clean Architecture
- Deep understanding of Swift, including memory management, value and reference types, concurrency with async/await and actors, and protocol-oriented design
- Ability to design systems such as offline-first applications, video player modules, video caching layers, modular architectures, or offline synchronization systems
- Experience with UIKit and SwiftUI
- Experience debugging complex issues including memory leaks, race conditions, and frame drops
- Mentored at least one junior or mid-level iOS developer
- Experience shipping applications to the App Store in a real production environment
- Typically 5 or more years of iOS development experience
- Experience with AVFoundation, HLS, DRM, FairPlay, and adaptive streaming
