About This Role

Strava is the app for active people. With over 150 million athletes in more than 185 countries, Strava is where connection, motivation, and personal bests thrive. No matter your activity, gear, or goals, we help you find your crew, crush your milestones, and keep moving forward. Start your journey with Strava today.

Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.

We’re seeking a Senior iOS Engineer to join the B2B team and help us build innovative sponsored experiences that delight millions of athletes while driving revenue in a space that is strategically critical for Strava’s continued growth and success. As the sole iOS engineer on a team of six engineers, you will have a unique opportunity to have a huge individual impact.

You will also collaborate daily with Strava's 20 iOS engineers through shared architecture reviews, pair programming sessions, code reviews, and our active iOS guild. Join the team behind the #1 fitness app and the 2025 Apple Watch App of the Year and help us continue setting the bar for iOS excellence.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop new and creative products that appeal to Strava’s end-users and B2B partners alike
• Continuously enhance the Challenges product to drive consumer and B2B growth
• Partner deeply with product and design to shape features together through iteration and experimentation, shipping high-quality work through continuous refinement
• Set the technical direction on iOS for the B2B space and help shape the team’s culture
• Mentor engineers across the organization—sharing not just technical knowledge but the behaviors, habits, and decision-making frameworks that help engineers grow and succeed.

We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our San Francisco office — three days per week.

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

• You have 5 years of professional software development experience or equivalent expertise in iOS engineering.
• You are well-versed in breaking down complex product requirements into tangible specs and plans.
• You have a firm foundation of SwiftUI and UIKit development and can navigate occasional Objective-C work.
• You care deeply about mobile architecture and scalability.
• You have demonstrated experience building sophisticated iOS components–from complex custom animations and gesture systems to novel interaction patterns that surprise and delight users.
• You excel at giving and receiving high-quality feedback, have strong product intuition and design sense, and foster a culture of continuous improvement in the teams you're a part of.
• You are comfortable using data to make decisions, bring others along, and understand the impact of your work.
