About you 

You’re an experienced iOS engineer with a passion for building high-quality, scalable applications using the latest Apple technologies. You write modern Swift (5.0+) fluently and are confident working with advanced language features like async/await, actors, and structured concurrency. You understand how to design modular architectures using Swift Package Manager, and you’re comfortable navigating complex, multi-platform environments.

You have deep expertise in SwiftUI and Combine, and you’ve built reactive, state-driven UIs that are both elegant and maintainable. You’re well-versed in architectural patterns like MVVM and TCA (The Composable Architecture), and you know how to apply them pragmatically to deliver robust solutions.

You take pride in writing clean, testable code and have strong experience with XCTest, Fastlane, and CI/CD pipelines. You’re familiar with tools like SwiftLint and SonarQube, and you use them to maintain high code quality across the team.

Performance matters to you—you know how to profile with Instruments, detect memory leaks, and optimize battery usage. You build apps that are accessible and inclusive, implementing features like VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and accessibility modifiers as part of your standard workflow.

Security and privacy are top of mind, especially in enterprise or regulated environments. You understand App Privacy reports, privacy manifests, and modern iOS compliance requirements.

You thrive in Agile environments, collaborating through tools like Jira, Confluence, and Azure DevOps. You’re a strong communicator who can explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders, and you enjoy mentoring junior developers and sharing best practices to uplift the team.

You bring a keen eye for UX and design, and you’re always striving to deliver polished, user-friendly experiences. Above all, you’re committed to continuous learning, staying up to date with evolving frameworks, tools, and best practices in the iOS ecosystem.
