Summary
Sawyer Bowman is a Senior iOS Engineer with 12 years of experience building high-impact mobile experiences, currently leading iOS efforts on Instacart’s Shopper Motivation team. He has a strong track record at scale—driving cross-organizational launches like Favorite Shopper and foundational platform work such as Queued Batches and a sectionalized batch list that unlocked downstream features. Prior roles at Uber and Miles show a pattern of improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and dramatically improving app performance and stability across high-traffic surfaces. He blends hands-on iOS leadership with systems thinking, often owning both refactors and product-facing UX changes while mentoring interview design and hiring practices. Based in Greater Boston, Sawyer pairs technical depth in mobile architecture with a knack for bridging teams to deliver features beyond a single team’s scope. A former tutor and research fellow, he retains a strong curiosity for analytics and developer experience that surfaces in how he reimagines hiring exercises and platform tooling.
