Senior iOS Engineer (Instant Rips)

Role Summary

You’ll join the Instant Rips iOS team – the group responsible for the live-break commerce experience on Fanatics Live. We build the surfaces millions of collectors use in real time: bidding in live auctions, joining breaks, navigating a high-velocity chat stream, and transacting in the marketplace.

The iOS stack is modern by design. We’re SwiftUI-first, run The Composable Architecture (TCA) across the app, use Swift Concurrency throughout, talk to our backend via Apollo GraphQL, and maintain a clean modular SPM codebase generated with Tuist. There’s no legacy UIKit app hiding under the surface – you’ll be working in a codebase you can be proud of.

AI tooling is part of how we work. We expect engineers to use it on the job, give it good context, and verify the output – not just accept it.

What you’ll do
Design and ship production iOS features across the live-break experience: auctions, stream viewing, chat, marketplace, and collector tools
Own features end-to-end – API contracts, TCA reducers, SwiftUI views, testing, and release
Write genuine test coverage: unit tests with mock dependencies, TCA TestStore assertions, async test patterns – not coverage theater
Review pull requests with judgment: surface real defects, prioritize what matters, coach on what to let go
Contribute to architectural decisions: modularization strategy, effect management, failure handling
Mentor engineers earlier in their career and raise the quality bar across the team

What we’re looking for
5+ years building consumer-facing iOS applications at scale
Hands-on with AI-assisted development tooling (LLM optimization loops, Xcode CLI integration)
Swift Concurrency – async/await, structured concurrency, Sendable, Swift Macros
SwiftUI – stateless/stateful view patterns, NavigationStack, performance-aware composition
The Composable Architecture (TCA) – Reducer/Store/Action/State, effect management, parent-child delegation, testing with TestStore
Apollo GraphQL (iOS) – schema-driven development, Swift codegen, subscriptions
SPM multi-package architecture – modular feature separation, local packages, clean dependency graphs
Tuist or XcodeGen – project generation tooling; no committed .xcodeproj
CI/CD – Bitrise, Fastlane, or equivalent automated build/test pipelines
Static analysis – SwiftLint, Periphery, or equivalent code quality gates
Structured commit/PR discipline tied to a project tracker (Linear, Jira, or equivalent)
