Lead iOS Engineer - Mobile Modernization

Job Overview:

We're looking for a Lead iOS Engineer - Mobile Modernization to join a dedicated mobile pod delivering iOS features for a major financial-services client in a regulated, security-first environment. Pods are small and senior-anchored — you'll own the iOS architecture within your pod, set the bar for code quality, and ship production increments on a compressed timeline. We work in an AI-accelerated delivery model (AI-assisted codegen, test generation, and review) and expect engineers who can amplify their output with modern tooling.

Perficient is always looking for the best and brightest talent and we need you! We’re a quickly-growing, global digital consulting leader, and we’re transforming the world’s largest enterprises and biggest brands. You’ll work with the latest technologies, expand your skills, and become a part of our global community of talented, diverse, and knowledgeable colleagues.

• Design and build native iOS features in Swift and SwiftUI (UIKit interop as needed)
• Own architecture decisions within your pod — modularization, state management, navigation, dependency injection
• Integrate against REST/GraphQL APIs in partnership with the pod's API engineer
• Build performant, secure features for real-time data and transactional workflows — streaming quotes/updates, low-latency UI, and secure handling of sensitive financial data
• Establish and enforce CI/CD, automated testing, and release standards for the pod
• Uphold security, privacy, and compliance requirements appropriate to a regulated broker-dealer
• Mentor a mid-level iOS engineer and contribute to shared standards across pods
• Leverage AI-assisted tooling to accelerate delivery without compromising quality

• 6+ years mobile development, 4+ years native iOS in Swift
• Deep SwiftUI experience and sound grasp of iOS architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean, TCA, or similar)
• Strong async/concurrency skills (Swift Concurrency / Combine)
• API integration, offline/caching strategies, and secure data handling on device
• XCTest / unit + UI testing and CI/CD (Xcode Cloud, Fastlane, Bitrise, or GitHub Actions)
• App Store release experience and code-signing/provisioning fluency
• Self-directed; productive in a fast-ramp, standards-driven pod

Preferred:

• Financial services, fintech, or other regulated-industry experience
• Experience building real-time trading, brokerage, or streaming market-data apps
• Exposure to in-app AI features (conversational AI, AI-driven insights or personalization)
• Familiarity with security/compliance (SSO/OAuth, biometrics, secure enclave, MDM)
• Multi-device experience: iPadOS and Apple Watch (watchOS)
• Experience with AI-assisted development tooling
• Design-system / component-library contribution
