Director Of Engineering Clients & API at SoundCloud
Prague, Prague, Czechia
Summary
👤
SeniorVojta Stavik is a pragmatic engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling iOS platforms, now directing Clients & API engineering at SoundCloud. He combines hands-on Swift expertise with people leadership, having progressed from iOS developer to Platform Lead and Engineering Manager before becoming Director. Vojta has a strong track record of improving code quality and test coverage—evident from a past rewrite and test drive at SAP Concur—and contributes to notable open-source Swift projects like Stream’s stream-chat-swift and SwiftLint. He’s comfortable across app and SDK boundaries, handling low-level concerns such as gzip/zlib integration and package management as well as higher-level API and client design. A community builder and speaker, he founded Prague’s CocoaHeads and writes about iOS development, and when not shipping software you’ll likely find him with a guitar in hand.
