Overview

As a Senior iOS Engineer focused on build, release and DevOps at Publicis Sapient, you will own how our iOS apps get built, signed, tested and shipped. You’ll bring deep iOS ecosystem experience: Xcode, code signing, TestFlight and App Store Connect. You’ll grow into the platform side, working with Azure DevOps, automation and monitoring. This role suits an iOS engineer who already sets up and maintains pipelines for their team and wants to make delivery their main focus. You’ll work closely with development and operations teams in a fast-paced client environment.

• Manage certificates, provisioning profiles and signing assets across teams and environments.
• Run deployments across development, testing, staging and production.
• Troubleshoot build, signing and deployment failures, and lead root-cause analysis (RCA).
• Automate repetitive release and operations tasks with Bash scripts and tools like Fastlane.
• Set up monitoring dashboards, alerts and logs in Splunk or Datadog to catch build and app issues early.
• Improve the speed, reliability and stability of mobile delivery.
