Tech Stack
Our iOS codebase is modern, clean, and well-maintained. We use the latest Apple frameworks and best practices, with a strong focus on code quality, testing, and automation.
The app is built natively in Swift and is mostly SwiftUI, with some UIKit. Deep experience with Swift and SwiftUI is required. We also use Swift Concurrency, Combine, CoreData, RevenueCat, WatchKit, HealthKit, XCTest, etc. The backend uses Firebase (Auth, RTDB, Firestore). Experience with these additional technologies is a plus, but not required if you're a fast learner.
Team
You'll work closely with our Android developer to keep both apps consistent so users get the same features, logic, and algorithms on both platforms. You'll also work with our founder and designer to understand user needs and advise on technical feasibility. You'll work with QA and support to investigate and fix bugs. We communicate mostly in writing and minimize meetings. You'll have plenty of time to focus on coding and building a great app.
We're looking for someone who can start as soon as possible.
