Hybrid: IOS Developer
Quick Overview
Job Description
We’re not looking for someone who just knows how to build screens. We’re looking for an engineer who understands why things work the way they do -- someone who can reason about performance, architecture, and the nuances of Apple’s frameworks like a true craftsman.
What You’ll Do
• Architect and build robust, scalable iOS applications using Swift and SwiftUI
• Write clean, testable, maintainable code with a strong emphasis on performance and reliability
• Dive deep into Apple APIs -- from LocalAuthentication to CommonCrypto -- and use them to solve real-world problems elegantly
• Optimize performance using profiling tools, concurrency strategies, and thoughtful design
• Mentor other developers and help shape the technical culture of our Calgary office
• Use AI tools to accelerate development, not replace it, freeing up time for deeper thinking and more impactful work
What We’re Looking For
• Strong CS fundamentals: You understand memory management, data structures, algorithms, and concurrency, and you know when to apply them
• Deep iOS expertise: You’ve built and shipped complex apps, and you know the ins and outs of UIKit, SwiftUI, and the broader Apple ecosystem
• Architectural thinking: You can design modular, testable systems and have opinions about MVC, MVVM, and beyond
• Curiosity and craftsmanship: You care about how things are built, not just what gets built
• Ecosystem fluency: You’ve worked with CI/CD, app signing, provisioning, Instruments, and understand the full lifecycle of an iOS app
• Clear communicator: You can walk through your own code and explain your decisions. You’re comfortable saying “I don’t know” and having a relaxed, technical conversation
• Collaborative mindset: You’re thoughtful, curious, and easy to work with -- we try to keep it not so fussy
• AI maturity: You use AI tools to enhance your workflow -- not to substitute for foundational knowledge
How We Interview
In our phone screen, you’ll walk us through three examples from your own code:
• Swift Language: We’re looking for depth -- concurrency, generics, protocol design -- not just syntax
• Apple APIs & Frameworks: Show us how you’ve used UIKit, SwiftUI, or lesser-known frameworks like AuthenticationServices or WebKit
• Apple Ecosystem: Talk about your experience with CI/CD, Xcode, performance tuning, app signing, crash analysis, or architecture decisions
We’re not looking for perfection -- we’re looking for engineers who think deeply, communicate clearly, and care about the craft of iOS development.
The candidate must work on-site, a minimum of 3 days a week.
Additional Required Skills:
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• BA/BS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Additional Desired Skills
• Experience developing APIs.
• Awareness of Android app development.
• Strong user experience skills.
