- Drive team culture and rituals, ensuring participation, continuous improvement, and follow-through across your squad and the broader iOS team.
- Ensure quality and engineering best practices, adapting working methods to team needs and project phases.
- Collaborate with your Engineering Manager and the iOS Community of Practice to shape and evolve Deezer's iOS technical vision, ensuring alignment across stacks.
- Partner with Senior and Expert iOS Engineers to guide architectural choices and code quality throughout Deezer's iOS ecosystem.
Qualifications
People Leadership:
- Previous experience managing a team of software engineers.
- Ability to build trust, create psychological safety, and maintain team cohesion, even with members distributed across different squads.
Product & Delivery:
- Proven experience collaborating closely with Product Managers in a cross-functional setting, co-owning objectives and planning.
- Ability to connect engineering work to business goals and consider product impact when making technical trade-offs.
- Pragmatic and delivery-oriented, capable of balancing ambition with realistic planning.
Technical Foundation:
- Solid iOS development background; a strong understanding of the platform to make sound technical decisions and support engineers with their daily challenges.
- Familiarity with mobile engineering best practices, architectural patterns, and code quality standards.
- Ability to balance a modern engineering vision with the realities of an existing codebase, making pragmatic trade-offs as needed.
Culture & Mindset:
- Transparent communicator who promotes open, honest conversations and collaboration.
- Curious and proactive: identifies friction, questions the status quo, and proposes pragmatic improvements.
At Deezer, diversity drives innovation. Your unique qualities, experiences, and perspectives might be exactly what we need. If this role resonates with you and aligns with your interests and capabilities, even if you don't meet 100% of the qualifications, please apply and share your story! #BeYou
