Senior iOS Developer

Job Title: IOS Engineer (Remote)

Job Description

Remote Working | Engineering Team | Full-time

The Impact you will create on the Job:

Developing SDKs on IOS with support for cross-platform technologies like ReactNative, Flutter along with hybrid development over platforms like Cordova.

Apply data structures and algorithms to optimize the code for a lower memory, battery, and processing footprint - all with the goal to build plug-and-play SDKs that don’t expect the app developers to write any supporting code in the app.

You will be liaising with the cross-functional teams to get an in-depth understanding of the functional requirements and propose scalable solutions.

As an individual contributor, you will tackle some of our broadest technical challenges that requires deep technical knowledge, hands-on software development and seamless collaboration with all functions.

You will envision and develop features that are highly reliable and fault tolerant to deliver a superior customer experience.

You will get an opportunity to work with some of the best talent while learning from various highly-functional teams in the company.

You will collaborate with your team and set an example by delivering high quality and innovative engineering solutions for complex use cases.

Plan and execute the roadmap with the engineering team to build and deliver next-generation systems.

What we look for?

Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science/IT from premier institute.

2-4 years of industry experience in iOS development, with at least one live app on App Store.

Good knowledge of Objective-C, Swift 5, data structures and algorithms.

Fair understanding of Native Frameworks, specifically concurrency handling, data persistence (User Defaults, Keychain, Core Data), and background tasks.

Good understanding of iOS Frameworks related to UI and network.

Fair understanding of Apple’s concurrency handling, Core Data, and NS Operation classes.

Familiarity with developing UI with both XIB/Storyboard and code.

Good understanding of SDK integrations, debugging, and troubleshooting.

Interested in exploring mobile app development ecosystems like React Native, Cordova and Flutter.

Comfortable with tackling ambiguous problems and unblocking yourself.

Fair understanding of Push Notification ecosystem.

As a Mobile Software Developer your primary objective will be to design and build mobile applications for iOS platforms while actively participating in application design discussions and decisions. You will be an integral part of the development and maintenance of numerous cutting edge mobile applications. You'll utilize your expertise and your familiarity with iOS and XCode. Additionally, experience with Agile or XP methodologies or related iterative development processes will be necessary to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact. You will also utilize your knowledge of Software Development Lifecycle Tools - source control (Git, SourceTree, SVN), issue tracking, and web service integration (REST, JSON and HTTP).

Our organization moves at light speed, so the ability to work with minimal supervision while delivering excellent results will be a priority. Strong communication and information gathering skills are required to capture and interpret business and functional requirements, fill in the gaps intelligently, interpolate designs and functionality as necessary, and identify opportunities for process improvements/efficiencies. This is your opportunity to work with our talented team to design and build the next generation of our mobile applications and server backend.
