You'll maintain and enhance our iPad-first application built with SwiftUI and UIKit, handling complex CoreData migrations, real-time queue synchronization, and AVFoundation media playback. You'll optimize performance for memory-constrained devices while integrating analytics, crash reporting, and 10+ third-party SDKs.

Your responsibilities

  • Maintain and evolve our Business Pro iOS app with 26 feature modules

  • Implement new features using SwiftUI with UIKit integration where needed

  • Design and maintain progressive CoreData migration strategies for production data

  • Build real-time synchronization features connecting venues to cloud services

  • Optimize memory usage and performance for iPad deployments in professional environments

  • Collaborate with backend engineers to design clean, versioned API contracts

  • Implement AVFoundation-based media playback with queue management

  • Debug production issues using Sentry crash reports and analytics data

  • Make architectural decisions balancing technical debt with feature velocity

  • Maintain strict code quality with SwiftLint, SwiftFormat, and comprehensive test coverage

  • Leverage AI coding assistants to accelerate development while maintaining code quality

Our Tech Stack

- Languages: Swift 6+ with modern concurrency (async/await, actors)

- UI Frameworks: SwiftUI (primary), UIKit (legacy integration), MVVM architecture

- Reactive Programming: Combine for data binding and event handling

- Data Persistence: CoreData with progressive migration system, multi-context architecture

- Networking: Alamofire with async/await, REST API integration

Must have:

- 6+ years iOS development experience with production apps

- Expert-level Swift 6+ knowledge (async/await, Combine, modern concurrency)

- Deep SwiftUI and UIKit expertise with seamless integration patterns

- Production CoreData experience including complex migrations and multi-context architecture

- Networking expertise (Alamofire, URLSession, REST API integration)

- Testing proficiency with XCTest/Swift Testing and Git workflow mastery

Nice to have:

- Custom Swift Package development and modular architecture patterns

- Advanced CoreData skills (progressive migrations, lightweight migration, manual migrations)

- AVFoundation media playback implementation (audio/video queuing, playback control)

- Fastlane automation and CI/CD pipeline configuration

- Memory profiling and performance optimization with Instruments

- Analytics integration experience (Segment, Mixpanel, Firebase)

- Crash reporting and debugging with Sentry or similar tools

- Enterprise iOS deployment (MDM, TestFlight, app configuration)

- Real-time synchronization and WebSocket implementation

Our Commitment to Diversity

We're building a team that reflects the diversity of the European developer community. We evaluate candidates on technical skills and architectural thinking, not academic pedigree or career path.

We provide interview accommodations for candidates who need them. Our collaborative approach ensures technical decisions are inclusive and transparent.

Don't meet every requirement? Research shows underrepresented groups apply only when they meet 100% of qualifications. If you're excited about sophisticated iOS architecture and modern Swift patterns, we encourage you to apply.

How to Apply 

If this sounds like you, come join us in spreading the joy of singing! Please send your resume and GitHub profile (or code samples) and answer the questions in the application form.

We review applications weekly already during the application period and will fill the position as soon as we find the right person, so we encourage you to apply quickly. Our recruitment process includes interviews as well as a take-home assignment. 

Interview Process

1. Initial Call (30 min): Experience review, role expectations, answer your questions

2. Technical Screen (60 min): Problem-solving with AI tools allowed - we evaluate how you work with modern development tools

3. System Design (60 min): Real-world iOS architecture scenario, discuss trade-offs and performance considerations

4. Pair Programming (60 min): Collaborative coding session on realistic iOS problems using your preferred IDE and AI tools

Our Philosophy: We encourage using AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) during technical interviews - they're part of modern development. We're interested in how you think, collaborate, and deliver quality code, not memorized algorithms.
