About WinZO:
Launched in 2018, WinZO has grown into one of the world’s most ambitious interactive entertainment platforms, engaging 250 million users across India, the US, Germany, and Brazil. What began as a gaming app has evolved into a full transmedia engine spanning games, microdramas, and audio stories in 15 languages, powered by patented technology and real-time systems that operate at massive scale.
Our ambition is to redefine how millions of users experience technology, culture, and capital. While the West has pioneered universes like Marvel and Arcane, India has never had its own transmedia powerhouse. WinZO is changing that by building interconnected worlds where stories, characters, and gameplay travel seamlessly across formats. It is an opportunity to build India’s cultural exports for the next decade.
We’re now building products around the investments vertical. This Diwali, we launched ZO Gold, letting every Indian invest in gold starting from ₹2, extending our mission from digital fluency to financial empowerment. This opportunity is to build products for the next 100 million Indians that are simple, transparent, and deeply engaging. It is a pure first-principles build where you work directly with visionary founders, own problems end-to-end, and shape products from concept to scale. The challenge is vast, the autonomy is real, and the impact is immediate.
If you’re looking for the rare opportunity to build at global scale, work with visionary founders, and be part of a company redefining India’s tech narrative, this is it.

-
Transmedia/Micro-drama Platform Integration: Deep expertise in developing custom video players (e.g., AVPlayer/AVFoundation, incorporating third-party SDKs) for high-quality, low-latency micro-drama streaming, including knowledge of HLS/DASH, DRM, and adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) techniques.
-
Robust, High-Performance Products: Deliver resilient, high-performing iOS builds, prioritizing both quality and efficiency to delight millions of users.
-
Ownership and Scalability: Own features end-to-end, from prototyping in Xcode to production rollouts via TestFlight, shaping the platform’s growth and reliability.
What you will do:
Design, build, and maintain high-performance iOS applications, applying established architectural patterns (e.g., MVVM with Combine, MVC) to ensure maintainable and testable codebases.-
Own feature development end to end, from gathering requirements and technical design (wireframes, API contracts) through implementation in Swift/Objective-C to App Store deployment via TestFlight.
-
Scope projects and evaluate technical aspects, identifying performance bottlenecks (rendering, memory) and proposing optimal solutions such as diffable data sources or background threading.
-
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, design, QA, backend) to integrate UI components, network layers (URLSession), and ensure seamless end-to-end functionality.
-
Mentor junior iOS developers, lead code reviews, run architecture deep-dives (e.g., SwiftUI adoption), and enforce best practices around code cleanliness and SOLID principles.
-
Lead, manage and mentor cross-functional iOS teams in architecting and delivering enterprise-grade platforms, setting strategic direction for performance, security, and seamless user experiences.
-
Implement comprehensive testing strategies, including unit tests with XCTest, UI tests with XCUITest, and continuous integration with Fastlane, to maintain code robustness.
Essential Skills:
-
Advanced expertise in Swift and Objective-C, and deep understanding of the iOS runtime and view controller lifecycle.
-
Proven proficiency implementing Apple frameworks (Combine, SwiftUI etc.) and applying design patterns (MVVM, Coordinator).
-
Experience designing modular, scalable architectures following Clean Architecture and separation of concerns.
-
Demonstrated success leading mid-sized projects, balancing code quality, performance, and business goals.
-
Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Bitrise, GitHub Actions) and profiling performance under heavy load.
-
Deep experience with real-time communication protocols (e.g., WebSockets) to support high-scale social and live-ops features.
-
Hands-on experience with video streaming and custom player development (e.g., AVFoundation, HLS/DASH) for high-quality, low-latency micro-drama content.
-
Proficiency in implementing fluid UI/UX with complex animations and transitions using Core Animation or Lottie/Rive for dynamic in-app experiences.
Preferred Skills:
-
Extensive experience structuring and scaling multiple iOS teams, defining role profiles, and conducting performance reviews focused on long-term growth.
-
Recognized thought leadership through published technical articles, open-source projects, conference talks, or patents in mobile or gaming technology.
-
Deep expertise integrating iOS apps with enterprise-scale backend systems, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), and security frameworks for production-grade solutions.
-
Hands-on experience with native performance tuning, including Metal, C/C++ integrations, and low-level optimizations for graphics and rendering.
