You’ll act as the technical leader for this new team, owning key technical decisions and collaborating closely with product, design, and platform teams to design not only a new app, but the complete set of mobile technologies to take Hims & Hers into the next decade.

• Own code quality through thoughtful reviews, maintainable architecture, and proactive technical debt reduction.

• Collaborate with Product and Design during discovery to define MVPs, validate feasibility, and drive customer-centric solutions.

• Coordinate with backend, data, and platform teams for seamless integrations and aligned execution.

• Mentor engineers and promote best practices in design, testing, CI/CD, and team rituals.

• Help migrate our existing mobile and front-end teams from a “build features as they are requested” to “build platforms which support all features we currently and will support.”

You Have:

• 8–10+ years of experience delivering production-grade software solutions in native iOS

• Deep experience with the best iOS development technologies, including Swift, SwiftData/Core Data and GraphQL, as well as cutting-edge UX frameworks like SwiftUI, Rive and Lottie.

• Solid understanding of web performance optimization within the iOS ecosystem.

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to navigate ambiguity through iterative experimentation.

• Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced environment and driving high-impact solutions from concept through execution.

What Success Looks Like:

• You reliably and quickly deliver prototypes to prove out architectural design, product direction and mobile.

• You help drive a culture of code quality, accountability, and collaboration by mentoring peers and sharing technical insights.

• You successfully build a team which will develop our first fully native mobile experience

• You lead your squad to take ownership of the entire mobile experience, championing reliability, scalability, and maintainability.

• You identify technical risks early and help improve the sustainability and scalability of team practices and architecture.

Our Benefits (there are more but here are some highlights):

• Competitive salary & equity compensation for full-time roles
