Morgan Stanley
Senior iOS Developer, Director, P3
Morgan Stanley, Menlo Park, California, United States, 94029
Overview
We’re hiring a senior iOS Developer in Menlo Park for our E*TRADE and Morgan Stanley Wealth Management App team--a collaborative group of folks that value craftsmanship and curiosity. This position is on-site in our Menlo Park office (minimum of 3 days a week). We’re not looking for someone who just knows how to build screens. We’re looking for an engineer who understands
why
things work the way they do -- someone who can reason about performance, architecture, and the nuances of Apple’s frameworks like a true craftsman. What You’ll Do
Architect and build robust, scalable iOS applications using Swift and SwiftUI Write clean, testable, maintainable code with a strong emphasis on performance and reliability Dive deep into Apple APIs -- from LocalAuthentication to CommonCrypto -- and use them to solve real-world problems elegantly Optimize performance using profiling tools, concurrency strategies, and thoughtful design Mentor other developers and help shape the technical culture of our Menlo Park office Use AI tools to accelerate development, not replace it, freeing up time for deeper thinking and more impactful work What We’re Looking For
Strong CS fundamentals: You understand memory management, data structures, algorithms, and concurrency, and you know when to apply them Deep iOS expertise: You’ve built and shipped complex apps, and you know the ins and outs of UIKit, SwiftUI, and the broader Apple ecosystem Architectural thinking: You can design modular, testable systems and have opinions about MVC, MVVM, and beyond Curiosity and craftsmanship: You care about how things are built, not just what gets built Ecosystem fluency: You’ve worked with CI/CD, app signing, provisioning, Instruments, and understand the full lifecycle of an iOS app Clear communicator: You can walk through your own code and explain your decisions. You’re comfortable saying “I don’t know” and having a relaxed, technical conversation Collaborative mindset: You’re thoughtful, curious, and easy to work with -- we try to keep it not so fussy AI maturity: You use AI tools to enhance your workflow -- not to substitute for foundational knowledge How We Interview
In our phone screen, you’ll walk us through three examples from your own code: Swift Language: We’re looking for depth -- concurrency, generics, protocol design -- not just syntax Apple APIs & Frameworks: Show us how you’ve used UIKit, SwiftUI, or lesser-known frameworks like AuthenticationServices or WebKit Apple Ecosystem: Talk about your experience with CI/CD, Xcode, performance tuning, app signing, crash analysis, or architecture decisions We’re not looking for perfection -- we’re looking for engineers who think deeply, communicate clearly, and care about the craft of iOS development. This is a full-time position. The candidate must work on-site, a minimum of 3 days a week. Vacation policy is flexible with advance notice. Qualifications
Additional Required Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills in English. BA/BS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience. Additional Desired Skills
