Apple Title Collision: iOS Engineer vs. Generic Titles
Apple currently lists 441 iOS Engineer roles, but Software Engineer balloons to 16,990, Mobile Engineer 207, and Android Engineer 92. If your search locks only on iOS Engineer, you miss potential matches among the 16,990 generic software engineers; prioritize iOS Engineer first, then expand to Mobile Engineer and Swift Engineer (9).
- As of 2026-11-04 PT, Apple current title iOS Engineer is 441 (Wave3 re-check; page hook stays freeze 367).
- Same day Apple Android Engineer 92; Mobile Engineer 207; Software Engineer 16,990 — all stay outside this pack.
- Swift Engineer at 9 is a narrow adjacent name and is not an iOS stand-in.

Of the 541 frozen peer pack, the US holds 311 seats, India 53, the UK 35, Canada 9, and Israel 6. If timezone overlap or visa ease drives your list, filter US → India → UK first, with Canada and Israel as secondary pools.
- As of 2026-11-04 PT, iOS Engineer at top-three hosts by country (≥5 people): United States 311, India 53, United Kingdom 35, Canada 9, Israel 6.
- United States 311 still leads; India 53 is the second pool.
- Lists order against the freeze pack of 541; country cells are a sourcing map, not a hook rewrite.
Apple Anchor Wave3 Re-check: 367 → 441
Wave3 re-check shows Apple anchor moving from freeze 367 to 441. If ranking by anchor size, Apple leads firmly; cross-filter with title collision data so wide titles do not smear the list.
- Wave3 re-check Apple iOS Engineer = 441 (2026-11-04 PT).
- List buyers still order against the freeze pack of 541; the re-check is stability evidence only.
- If you need a today snapshot list, note the Wave3 as-of in the list ask.
