Why we read it this way (10)
The title 'iOS Lead' carries no explicit seniority level word (Junior/Mid/Senior/Staff/Principal), so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, 8+ years of software development and 5+ years as a mobile developer, combined with mentoring and lead responsibilities, firmly support a Senior classification.
Swift/SwiftUI/Objective-C are listed in the requirements section as a proficiency requirement with 'e.g.' framing — the language capability is a hard gate; Swift is the primary with SwiftUI and Objective-C captured as alternatives.
iOS SDK and Xcode are listed under Preferred Skills, but iOS SDK is effectively implied as a hard gate by the required 'Native mobile application development' and 'iOS Lead' framing; Xcode is kept as preferred since it appears only in the Preferred Skills section.
GitHub Actions and Fastlane are listed together as CI/CD pipeline options under Preferred Skills — one skill with the other as an alternative.
Git and GitHub are listed separately under Preferred Skills and are kept as distinct entries.
Honeycomb and Splunk appear only under Preferred Skills — observability/logging tools listed as nice-to-haves.
JavaScript appears in the requirements section as an alternative language example ('e.g. Swift/SwiftUI/Objective-C, JavaScript') but is secondary to the iOS-native focus; marked preferred.
Degree is listed as 'preferred or relevant experience' — not a hard requirement, so the degree requirement is None.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
Relocation assistance is offered for non-local US candidates; no visa sponsorship is available.
