Staff iOS Engineer, Dailymotion

• Deep, hands-on expertise in the iOS ecosystem: Swift, SwiftUI/UIKit, Xcode, App Store lifecycle, this is non-negotiable
• Proven track record building and scaling high-traffic B2C consumer apps, with millions of active users and real product impact
• Demonstrated ability to lead technically: guiding other engineers, driving architecture decisions, and being a natural reference point for the team
• A genuine mobile-wide technical culture: even as an iOS specialist, you can hold your own in a conversation with Android engineers, understand shared constraints (performance, architecture, product parity), and enjoy connecting the dots across the mobile ecosystem, at Dailymotion and beyond
• Startup or scale-up DNA: you've navigated fast iteration cycles, ambiguity, and aggressive growth targets
• Comfortable operating cross-functionally, collaborating closely with Android, Backend, QA, Design and Product to keep the product experience coherent end to end
• Strong communication skills: you can influence and align people without needing formal authority
• Fluent in English / French is a plus
• Don't check every box? Apply anyway
• We're looking for the right person to join the team, not just a perfect resume. If this role excites you but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement, we still want to hear from you

Desirable

• We're building THE next big social app in a startup-minded squad within Dailymotion, and we're looking for a Staff iOS Engineer to become the technical backbone of our iOS practice
• You'll be the Staff iOS Engineer of the team: setting the technical direction for our iOS application, leading engineers day to day on architecture and code quality, and representing iOS in every cross-functional conversation that shapes the product, alongside our Android engineers, Backend, QA, Design and Product
• This is a role that blends deep hands-on craft with real leadership. You'll write code and solve hard iOS problems yourself, but you'll also be the person the team turns to for architecture decisions, technical direction, and coaching
• You'll drive alignment with the Android team on shared product behavior and cross-platform consistency, and act as the technical voice of iOS in front of Product and Design. Think of yourself as the de facto lead of the iOS practice, technically and collaboratively, even without formal reporting lines by default
• More broadly, you're a Staff Mobile Engineer at heart: iOS is your core expertise, but you're just as comfortable sitting down with the Android team to think through a shared problem, a cross-platform architecture question, or a tricky technical trade-off. You don't need to write Android code, but you speak the same language as the people who do, and you're genuinely curious about how the whole mobile ecosystem at Dailymotion fits together, because ultimately, it's one product experience
• If you've thrived in high-growth startups or scale-ups, shipped consumer apps to millions of users, and you naturally become the reference point your team relies on, technically and human, this role was written for you
• Set and own the technical direction and architecture of our iOS app, from foundations to shipping features at scale
• Lead the iOS engineers on a day-to-day basis: code reviews, architecture decisions, technical trade-offs, and quality bar
• Act as the main point of technical alignment with the Android team, ensuring product consistency and shared best practices across platforms
• Engage naturally with the Android team on cross-platform technical topics, sharing architecture thinking, coaching engineers when useful, and keeping the mobile ecosystem consistent as a whole, without owning Android's day-to-day
• Represent iOS in cross-functional discussions with Backend, QA, Design and Product, and turn product ambitions into sound technical decisions
• Coach and grow iOS engineers through pairing, code reviews, and architecture discussions, whether informally or as a first step toward formal team leadership
• Establish clear technical standards and ways of working for the iOS codebase (tooling, CI/CD, testing, engineering culture)
• Stay hands-on: ship features yourself, review code, and keep close contact with the codebase every day
• Explore and drive AI integration opportunities to enhance the iOS user experience
