About the Job

We're a high-tech startup from Berlin-Adlershof, on a mission to become the world's leading technology platform for objective, non-invasive skin diagnostics. Our primary application is early skin cancer detection, an essential service for patients worldwide, reducing the number of people suffering from misdiagnosed skin cancer.

At Magnosco, we bring together our extensive experience in medical technology, skin cancer diagnostics, and artificial intelligence (https://magnosco.com/publikationen/). We've successfully developed and certified our first medical products, and currently, we're developing a new, unique AI solution. To achieve this, we're on the lookout for highly motivated and qualified individuals for our iOS team. Join us and be part of the "next big thing" in medical technology!

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced iOS Tech Lead to provide technical direction for our iOS project. Working onsite with our iOS team (this position is not intended for remote work), you’ll play a key role in ensuring that development aligns with business requirements, priorities, and available resources. A central aspect of this position is understanding the product's technical landscape, including its interaction with the Magnos embedded device, and making strategic decisions on architecture, frameworks, and design patterns, while striking the right balance between code quality, extensibility, and delivery speed.

Please note research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. If you think you have what it takes, even if you don't meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch. We'd love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit.

Your tasks amongst others:

• Take ownership of the iOS application’s technical roadmap, conducting initial research on potential solutions and keeping the direction consistent with planned objectives.

• Lead our small, agile iOS team, helping them effectively deliver on priorities.

• Collaborate with stakeholders to develop proofs-of-concept, prototype features, and tackle technical challenges.

• Work closely with other development teams, sales, and product managers to integrate feedback into product decisions and roadmap discussions.

• Evaluate relevant technologies and weigh their benefits against project goals and timelines.

• Maintain an appropriate balance between code quality, flexibility, and ongoing development needs.

• Encourage best practices in architecture, performance, and API usage for our Swift and SwiftUI-based iOS application.

• Help the team implement new features, extend existing functionalities, and ensure seamless integration with our broader system landscape.

• Oversee the application lifecycle - development, deployment, operation, and monitoring - to maintain reliability and ensure comprehensive testing where it provides the most benefit.

How you inspire us:

• University degree in a technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or similar).

• 5+ years of experience developing high-quality iOS apps, with a track record of leading teams and guiding technical decisions.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with fluency in English to collaborate in a diverse, international environment.

• Proven ability to balance technical decisions with business needs and communicate these effectively at all levels of the organization.

• Proficiency in Swift and SwiftUI, including iOS frameworks, Combine, and Swift concurrency features (GCD/Tasks).

• Hands-on experience with MVVM architecture and creating maintainable, testable code.

• Familiarity with Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and associated best practices.

• Understanding of tools like Git, JIRA, Confluence, and Figma (or similar).

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Experience in automated software testing, knowing where it adds the most value.

• Familiarity with CoreML models and their full lifecycle (creation, encryption, and deployments).

• Good understanding of CI/CD processes, with the capability to extend pipelines, use bash scripts, and work comfortably on the command line.

• Familiarity with iPadOS specifics.

• Engagement in open-source projects, or availability of publicly shared technical writing, such as personal or company blogs or articles.
