iOS Developer

Calgary, AB

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

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.
