Staff iOS Engineer

Lime is the largest global shared micromobility business, operating in close to 30 countries across five continents. We’re on a mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free. Our electric bikes and scooters have powered more than one billion rides in cities around the world. Named a 2025 Time 100 Most Influential Company, Lime continues to set the pace for shared micromobility globally, spurring a new generation of clean alternatives to car ownership.

Lime for Business, our newest business unit, is dedicated to helping companies around the world reimagine employee transportation. By offering safe, efficient, and eco-friendly mobility solutions, we empower organizations to reduce commute times, enhance employee satisfaction, and advance their sustainability goals. Our tailored programs include solutions for daily business travel, corporate campus mobility, and daily commute initiatives. Lime for Business enables companies to drive positive environmental impact while improving the way their workforce moves every day.

We’re hiring a Staff iOS Engineer to help build Lime for Business as an embedded, first-class experience inside the Lime app—an “app within an app” tailored to business users, admins, and company programs.

While Lime for Business is a “greenfield” feature set and UX for Lime, you’ll be successful here if you’ve shipped meaningful features in large, multi-team mobile codebases, can layer new functionality onto existing systems, and know how to navigate the reality of shared ownership: dependencies, legacy patterns, platform constraints, performance, and coordination across multiple stakeholders. Lime for Business isn’t just about “who pays” - we’re enabling a unique set of features and rules that adapt to business needs and unique use cases. We aim to move fast, and your knowledge of how to do that inside a complex, moving environment will be critical to our success!

What You'll Do:

Work as part of a team creating high-quality, performant iOS experiences within our existing app, specifically with the business user in mind.

• Partner closely with product and design to create business workflows that are intuitive and reliable (for both admins and employee riders).

• Navigate shared ownership effectively:

  • integrate with existing modules and platform services,

  • collaborate across teams on APIs/contracts,

  • manage dependencies and rollouts without destabilizing the core app.

• Improve quality through testing, instrumentation, performance work, and strong release discipline.

• Contribute to continuous improvement: refactors that unblock future work, build performance improvements, better debugging/triage practices, clearer module boundaries.

• Troubleshoot and lead full-cycle incident response (mitigation, correction, prevention).

• Collaborate with PMs, Engineers, Design, Research, Data Science, and Operations teams to identify and solve problems that impact our users.

• Provide technical mentorship and foster a culture of collaboration, learning, and code quality across teams.

• Contribute to shaping the technical strategy and long-term vision for Lime for Business’s iOS platform — including architecture, tooling and development best practices.

About You:

• 7+ years of professional software development experience with a strong track record of shipping impactful mobile products or systems.

• Deep technical expertise and proven leadership in iOS development (Swift).

• Experience designing and maintaining robust, modular, and scalable app architectures.

• Demonstrated experience shipping in large-scale apps with shared ownership, legacy constraints, and multiple collaborating teams.

• Comfort working with and improving existing architectures (e.g., modularization, feature boundaries, dependency management, navigation patterns).

• Strong product instincts: you can balance quality, maintainability, and speed—and you know when “perfect” blocks shipping.

• Solid experience with:

  • mobile testing practices (unit, snapshot/UI, integration as appropriate),

  • CI/CD and release hygiene,

  • performance debugging and crash analysis.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills—able to align with partner teams and move work forward without “owning everything.”

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; proven ability to mentor and elevate others.

• Dynamic, driven, and comfortable operating across multiple teams and priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience contributing to platform-level initiatives, such as design systems, shared libraries, or build optimizations.

• Familiarity with common, modern architectural patterns such as MVVM, VIPER, and large-scale frameworks used to manage complex flows in apps.

• Experience with RIBs, IGListKit or similar architectural frameworks.

• Experience contributing to technical strategy and vision for a specific iOS domain or business area.

• Entrepreneurial spirit — comfortable in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment.

• Passion for sustainability, safety, urban mobility, and innovative transportation solutions for business users.

U.S. Based Candidate - What We Offer

• Comprehensive Health & Wellness: A choice of medical, dental, and vision plans, with Lime covering 100% of the employee-only premium for many plans. We also provide company-paid life and disability insurance and company-funded mental health benefits.

• Financial & Retirement Planning: 401(k) plan with both pre-tax and Roth options, and access to a Health Savings Account (HSA) with a monthly company contribution.

• Family & Fertility Support: Paid parental leave for birthing and non-birthing parents, plus fertility and family-forming benefits.
