- Write clean, testable code and participate in code reviews, debugging, and performance tuning.
- Collaborate with designers, product managers, and QA to ship features on schedule.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of iOS development experience delivering production apps.
- Strong proficiency in Swift (with some Objective-C) and deep knowledge of the iOS SDK.
- Experience working with RESTful APIs, JSON, and asynchronous data handling.
- Skilled with Xcode, Git, and CI/CD tools such as Firebase App Distribution.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving ability, including performance tuning.
- Hands-on experience integrating 3rd party SDKs (advertising, analytics, push notifications).
- Comfortable working in Agile environments with tools like JIRA, Confluence, and Figma (bonus if familiar with MVVM, Coordinator, Clean Architecture, or Android/Kotlin).
