About the role

Role Overview

Join Embrace’s Mobile Observability team as a Senior iOS SDK Engineer. You will design, build, and maintain an open-source Swift SDK for Apple platforms, focusing on observability instrumentation (not application UI).

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain a modular Swift SDK used by developers across Apple platforms.
Implement and evolve capabilities including:
- Crash reporting
- Hang detection
- Performance monitoring
- Telemetry instrumentation
Ensure minimal overhead and maximum reliability for instrumentation libraries.
Collaborate with cross-platform SDK teams and contribute to evolving observability standards such as OpenTelemetry.

Requirements

Strong Swift proficiency, including:
- async/await
- structured concurrency
- protocol-oriented design
Experience with Objective-C interoperability, runtime behavior, or method swizzling.
Experience with Swift macros or Swift Syntax.
Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or observability concepts (traces, spans, logs).
Ability to support multiple Apple platforms from a shared codebase.
Familiarity with system-level frameworks such as MetricKit or MXDiagnostic.
Experience working in a multi-SDK ecosystem where platform changes impact cross-platform consumers.
Familiarity with API design, versioning, and SDK evolution.
Deep understanding of Apple runtime constraints: memory, threading, lifecycle, startup performance.
Experience building/maintaining SDKs, frameworks, or developer-facing libraries.
Experience with Git and modern CI/CD workflows.
Openness to AI-augmented engineering workflows.
Understanding of binary compatibility and ABI stability.
Experience debugging issues in production mobile environments.
Experience supporting external developers/SDK users.
Strong communication skills and advocacy for testing, reliability, and code quality.
Contributions to open-source projects.
