Interim iOS lead & team augmentation
Sometimes a team needs a lead before it has one: the previous lead has left, the team is growing, or the product has outgrown the way it's built. I step in as the technical lead of your iOS team, embedded on a long-term contract.
I set direction, standards and delivery, work as the counterpart to your engineering manager or product owners, and keep writing code. When you hire a permanent lead, I hand over properly.
What's included
- Technical roadmap, planning and estimates
- Architecture decisions and coding standards
- Interviewing candidates with your team
- Mentoring through one-on-ones and code review
- Onboarding material that shortens ramp-up for new hires
- Hands-on delivery alongside the team
A good fit when
- Your iOS lead has left and you need continuity while you hire
- Your team is growing and needs someone to set the standards
- Your product owners need a technical partner they can rely on
