Vôva Ignátov
Senior iOS Engineer / Builder / AI Native
🇵🇹 Portugal / Remote-only for 5+ years
I'm a product-minded iOS engineer with 10+ years in the game. I lead and grow engineering teams both technically and managerially. Since mid-2025 I'm fully AI-native — pioneering AI-first workflows at my company and multiplying my sprint velocity 2.2x.
Currently at Truv, where I own the mobile platform and build agentic pipelines. Before that, at Anytype — built and launched a block-based editor from scratch, grew from lead iOS engineer to engineering manager, then returned to IC with a much stronger product lens.
Before that, I was part of Mobile Architecture & Infrastructure at Avito (MAU 50M), leading CI/CD, core iOS frameworks, and platform-wide tooling for 25+ mobile engineers.
I love working in a place where I can combine deep iOS expertise, management experience, and AI-driven development — helping teams ship faster, build AI-powered features, and establish AI-first engineering culture.
High empathy, open heart, positive energy. Rock solid CS and math background. I prefer skin-in-the-game partnerships. Also I really love hugs.
