- Write efficient, reusable, and reliable code within our MVVM + Coordinator architecture and modular, config-driven content system.
- Identify performance bottlenecks—especially around video playback, memory usage, and view rendering—and drive solutions.
- Mentor other developers through code review, pairing, and technical guidance.
- Collaborate with developers, designers, and product/business managers to translate requirements into well-architected solutions.
- Help maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines and release processes across our multi-station builds.
- Rapidly learn new technologies and adapt to changing business and customer needs.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, including 3+ years building native iOS applications with Swift.
- Hands-on experience with SwiftUI and modern iOS UI development.
- Solid understanding of app architecture patterns (MVVM, Coordinators) and separation of concerns.
- Experience with Swift concurrency (async/await) and Combine for asynchronous and reactive programming.
- Experience with dependency management using Swift Package Manager.
- Experience consuming RESTful APIs and working with JSON (Codable).
- Experience with local persistence (Core Data, UserDefaults, or similar).
- Proficient with Git and code versioning workflows.
- Understanding of design principles behind scalable, maintainable applications.
- Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative, team-first attitude.
Nice to Have

- Experience integrating analytics, attribution, and push notification SDKs.
- Experience with rich push notifications via a Notification Service Extension.
- Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices (Azure DevOps a plus).
