• As an iOS Engineer on App Platform, you'll focus on the infrastructure and building blocks that feature teams rely on: architecting and maintaining core components and the design system, strengthening our networking and persistence layers, driving app stability and crash reduction, and partnering closely with product teams to make sure the "right way" to build is also the easiest way. • It's a high-leverage role for someone who wants their work to compound across the entire app rather than a single feature.

• Lead the architecture and design of complex, large-scale distributed systems • Design, develop, and maintain scalable, fault-tolerant microservices for both real-time and batch data processing; • Build and maintain high-performance REST APIs with a focus on scalability, reliability, and maintainability; • Design and implement data models and queries for efficient storage and retrieval across SQL and NoSQL databases; • Lead data quality initiatives to ensure consistency, accuracy, and reliability of data across the platform; • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate platform requirements into effective technical solutions • Drive technical standards and best practices for code quality, testing, and observability across engineering teams; • Mentor and provide technical guidance to engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and direct support • Take end-to-end ownership of the software development lifecycle, including deployment, monitoring, and incident response.

• Design, build, and maintain backend systems and APIs that power Wikidata’s query infrastructure • Improve reliability, observability, and automation of the Wikidata Query Service and data pipelines • Integrate Wikidata Platform services with other systems and data sources across Wikimedia • Collaborate with SRE, data engineers, and product teams to ensure stability and scalability under growing usage • Monitor production systems, respond to operational incidents, and proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks • Support platform migrations and system upgrades • Contribute to deployment automation, CI/CD workflows, and service instrumentation • Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and technical planning • Document systems and share knowledge with team members and Wikimedia’s broader technical community
