Title: iOS Senior Engineer
Location: Hyderabad (work from office)
Notice: Immediate to 30 days joiners will be preferred
Summary: We are looking for an experienced iOS Senior Engineer (Contractor) with strong expertise in building high-quality, SwiftUI-based applications for iOS Mobile and Apple TV (tvOS) platforms.
This role focuses primarily on frontend development using SwiftUI and modern iOS frameworks. While hands-on experience with video streaming technologies (e.g., HLS, AVFoundation) is desirable, it is considered a plus rather than a core requirement.
You are expected to be hands-on, delivery-focused, and able to work independently to deliver pixel-perfect, performant, and scalable apps.
Key Responsibilities:
Frontend Development
- Architect, build, and maintain modern, SwiftUI-driven user interfaces for iOS and tvOS.
- Deliver responsive, intuitive, and visually polished experiences across devices.
- Write clean, modular, and testable Swift code aligned with best practices.
Collaboration
- Work closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to translate designs and requirements into functional UI.
- Collaborate with QA to ensure high-quality, bug-free deliverables.
Performance & Optimization
- Ensure smooth navigation, fast rendering, and efficient resource usage in apps.
- Implement accessibility, localization, and platform-specific design guidelines.
Release & Documentation
- Support release planning and deployment cycles.
- Document UI components and workflows for team knowledge-sharing.
(Optional) Video Streaming
- Exposure to streaming tech such as HLS, DRM, and AVFoundation is a plus.
- Ability to troubleshoot basic playback/UI-related streaming issues if required.
Qualifications & Skills
Education
- Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Experience
- 6+ years in iOS development with a strong focus on frontend/UI development.
- Proven delivery of iOS and tvOS apps using SwiftUI in production.
Technical Skills
- Expert in Swift and SwiftUI (UIKit experience is a plus).
- Strong knowledge of UI architecture patterns (MVVM, Combine, etc.).
- Proficiency in REST/GraphQL API integration.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and release processes.
- (Optional) Understanding of AVFoundation, HLS, DRM, and video playback optimization.
Soft Skills
- Excellent communication and teamwork in distributed/remote setups.
- Strong attention to detail with a design-first mindset.
- Ability to work independently and deliver within deadlines.
Bonus Points
- Apple TV/tvOS development experience.
- Familiarity with analytics SDKs, accessibility standards, and localization.
- Exposure to Agile/Scrum workflows.
