Job Description
About the Role
We are hiring an experienced Swift / iOS Developer to build and maintain production applications using SwiftUI, UIKit, Core Data. This role requires strong technical fundamentals, clean code practices, and the ability to ship features independently while collaborating effectively with a remote team. The ideal candidate writes well-tested Swift / iOS code, has experience with Xcode and TestFlight, and can contribute to architecture decisions for systems serving thousands of users. You'll participate in code reviews, technical planning, and sprint ceremonies while owning features from implementation through deployment.
Key Responsibilities
- Own SwiftUI implementation and optimization — configuration, customization, and ongoing enhancement based on business needs
- Manage UIKit workflows including setup, user training, and continuous improvement of processes
- Implement and maintain Core Data ensuring seamless integration with existing systems and workflows
- Build and maintain Swift / iOS application features following clean code and SOLID principles
- Write comprehensive tests — unit, integration, and e2e — maintaining high test coverage
- Review code from teammates with constructive, thorough feedback focused on correctness and maintainability
- Participate in sprint planning, estimation, and technical architecture discussions
- Deploy code to production using established CI/CD pipelines and monitor for issues post-deployment
- Debug and resolve production issues with root cause analysis and prevention measures
- Document technical decisions, API contracts, and system architecture for team knowledge base
Must-Have Qualifications
- Hands-on experience with SwiftUI — configuration, customization, and troubleshooting in production environments
- Proficiency with Xcode as part of the Swift / iOS development/operations workflow
- 3+ years of professional Swift / iOS development experience
- Strong fundamentals in Swift / iOS architecture patterns and best practices
- Experience writing tests and maintaining codebases with good test coverage
- Git proficiency — branching strategies, code review workflows, and conflict resolution
- Clear English communication skills for daily standups, code reviews, and documentation
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Apple Certified iOS Developer certification or equivalent validated credential
- Experience with advanced Swift / iOS features: UIKit, Core Data, CloudKit
- Familiarity with the broader Swift / iOS ecosystem including TestFlight and Firebase
- Contributions to open-source projects or a notable GitHub/portfolio presence
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and cloud deployment
