Lead iOS Developer

📍 Kolkata 🏷️ Mobile App Development 💰 ₹154,000 / month

About the Role

Salt Lake Sector V in Kolkata has a Lead iOS Developer opening, full time, on site, with a mobile team building consumer apps for a genuinely large user base. Eleven years of experience is the expectation, and this lead role carries real architectural ownership.

A Day in This Job

The work covers building and maintaining apps for iOS, integrating APIs and third-party services, and testing across devices before release. A lead developer here reviews architecture decisions from the rest of the team, since a poorly structured app tends to accumulate real maintenance debt as it grows.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Own iOS app architecture decisions
  • Review pull requests and design decisions from other developers
  • Integrate REST APIs and third-party SDKs
  • Guide App Store release strategy

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with a portfolio of published mobile applications and demonstrated proficiency in mobile development frameworks and platform guidelines.

Skills That Matter

  • Swift and Xcode at a genuinely senior level
  • UIKit or SwiftUI
  • REST APIs
  • Git and debugging

Good to Have

Experience leading an architecture decision that had to scale across a growing team, familiarity with both UIKit and SwiftUI, and any background navigating an App Store rejection that required genuine rework under a tight deadline.

Why This Role

Salt Lake Sector V is one of Kolkata's most established tech corridors, and this team's app serves a genuinely large and diverse user base, giving architecture decisions here real, lasting weight. Naukri Mitra has listed a few mobile roles from this employer, and lead developers who've joined recently describe architecture review as the part of the job that most directly prevents future maintenance headaches.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a system design round on iOS architecture and a portfolio walkthrough. Candidates who describe an architecture decision they later revised tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance covering the employee and immediate family
  • Paid time off
  • Performance-linked bonuses
  • On-site cafeteria facilities and cab or commute support
