Independent iOS (Swift) Software Developer (Remote)

Independent iOS (Swift) Software Developer (Remote)
About the Role

We are looking for a highly independent iOS Software Developer with strong Swift expertise to join us on a long-term contract basis.

The initial objective is to develop a modern shopping list application. The product architecture, UI/UX assets, and design specifications are already prepared, allowing you to focus on delivering a high-quality implementation.

This is not just a one-off project. After the initial release, you will continue maintaining, improving, and expanding the application with new features and enhancements.

Responsibilities

• Develop a native iOS application using Swift.
• Implement features based on an existing architecture and design.
• Deliver clean, maintainable, and production-ready code.
• Perform testing, debugging, and performance optimization.
• Maintain and enhance the application after launch.
• Proactively suggest improvements to performance, usability, and code quality.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong professional experience developing native iOS applications with Swift.

• Demonstrated production experience with agentic coding workflows is mandatory. You should be highly proficient with tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT/Codex, Windsurf, or similar and know how to use them to build production-grade software efficiently.

• Experience with Google Firebase (or a comparable Backend-as-a-Service platform) including authentication, cloud storage, databases, notifications, analytics, or similar services.

• Proven ability to use AI as a development accelerator while maintaining excellent software engineering standards.
• Intermediate photo editing skills, with experience using Adobe Photoshop (or similar professional image editing software) to prepare, optimize, and adjust app assets, screenshots, icons, and marketing visuals when needed.
• Fluent English communication skills.
• Own a recent MacBook suitable for modern iOS development.
• Own a current iPhone and/or iPad for testing.
• Experience with Git and modern development workflows.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Highly self-driven and able to work with minimal supervision.

Nice to Have

• Experience publishing applications to the Apple App Store.
• Automated testing and CI/CD experience.
• Knowledge of MVVM, Clean Architecture, or similar architectural patterns.

What We Offer

• Fully remote, long-term contract opportunity.
• Ready-to-use architecture, UI assets, and design specifications.
• Opportunity to influence future product development.
• Flexible working hours.
• Long-term engagement beyond the initial release.

How to Apply

Please include the following in your application:

1. A brief description of your current work setup.
2. The iOS project that best demonstrates your experience. Include a link if available, or explain your role, technical challenges, architecture, and your individual contribution.
3. Describe how you use agentic coding tools in your daily development workflow. Be specific and include examples from production projects.
4. Your expected monthly or hourly compensation.
5. Your earliest available start date.

Confirm that you own a current MacBook and modern iOS test device(s).

Applications that do not address the points above will not be considered. Generic AI-generated applications that do not reference your own experience or projects will be rejected.
