iOS Developer (Native)

Role Overview

As an iOS Developer, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining native iOS applications for our ecosystem.
You’ll work closely with backend engineers, product designers, and security teams to build high-performance, encrypted, and user-centric mobile experiences.

This role requires deep technical expertise in Swift, Apple’s security frameworks, and offline-first architectures, as connectivity may vary in institutional environments.

Key Responsibilities

1. Application Development

Design, build, and maintain native iOS applications using Swift (and SwiftUI when applicable).

Work closely with the backend team to integrate RESTful and WebSocket APIs hosted on on-prem servers.

Ensure high performance, smooth animations, and low memory footprint on all supported iOS devices.

2. Security & Privacy

Implement end-to-end encryption for all communications (in collaboration with the security team).

Use Apple Keychain, Secure Enclave, and biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID) for user data protection.

Ensure data minimization and secure local storage

3. Offline & On-Prem Integration

Design offline-first functionality to ensure reliability without constant connectivity.

Handle synchronization with on-premise servers, ensuring data integrity and conflict resolution.

Manage app updates and distribution through enterprise deployment channels (not App Store).

4. Collaboration & Documentation

Collaborate with designers to implement consistent, intuitive UI/UX aligned with the company's identity.

Work with QA engineers to ensure stability, bug-free performance, and compliance with internal standards.

Maintain clear technical documentation for all implemented modules.

Participate in code reviews, security audits, and performance profiling sessions.

5. Continuous Improvement

Stay updated with iOS frameworks, Swift language improvements, and Apple’s latest privacy features.

Suggest and implement optimizations for performance, battery life, and user experience.

Contribute to the modularization and scalability of the mobile codebase.

Familiar with multithreading (GCD, Operation Queues) and memory management.

Experience with Core Data, Realm, or other local databases for offline storage.

Knowledge of network performance optimization and error handling in restricted network environments.

Experience with enterprise distribution tools (MDM, TestFlight internal, IPA builds).

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and containerized build environments.

Soft Skills

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Passion for building secure and impactful software that serves a national purpose.

Proactive and detail-oriented, with excellent collaboration skills.
