No matter your sport or how you track it, Strava’s got you covered. Find your crew, crush your goals, and make every effort count. 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.

About This Role

We’re seeking two Senior iOS Engineers - one for Achieve and another for the Subscription team. On each team you will collaborate daily with cross-functional partners in product, design, analytics, and marketing as well as Strava's 20+ iOS engineers through shared architecture reviews, pair programming sessions, code reviews, and our active iOS guild. Join the org behind the #1 fitness app and the 2025 Apple Watch App of the Year and help us continue setting the bar for iOS excellence.

On Subscriptions you will help build and evolve Strava’s subscription and checkout experiences. Work on the iOS surfaces that power our free-to-paid journey, including paywalls, purchase flows, and StoreKit integrations, reaching millions of athletes around the world. Your contributions will be central to Strava’s growth and gives you meaningful ownership over highly visible product experiences.

Achieve’s charter is to help active people achieve their athletic goals. They own features like our Progress and Training experiences, the Activity Page, and Athlete Intelligence. As a member of the Achieve team you’ll 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.

What You’ll Do:

  • Develop new and creative products that appeal to Strava’s end-users and partners

  • Continuously enhance the product to drive consumer 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 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.
