Remote iOS Developer

Were hiring an iOS Developer to own our native iPhone app Swift SwiftUI/UIKit App Store not a web frontend or React Native seat.

• Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience.
• Flexible Time: Can do full-time part-time side-gig (off-hours) or fractional (contract).
• Flexible Commitment: Can do short-term long-term or intermittent.
• Native iOS required. Swift is the job. This is not a web React or React Native role.

Why so flexible Were a FUNDED startup racing to launch end of Q3 2026. That gives us just 3 months to stack features while raising additional working capital. Feel free to jump in help us ship then bounce >> or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. Were also interested in long-term side gig relationships if thats what youre intoin our experience a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours.

Were a credible funded remote-first startup backed by a growing team. Were pre-launch and moving fast.

This is a native iOS seat. If your day-to-day is React Vue or a browser this is not your posting we have separate web roles for that.

We need someone who ships on Apples stack: Swift SwiftUI and/or UIKit Xcode TestFlight and the App Store. Youll own screens navigation app lifecycle device APIs and the polish that makes an iPhone app feel native. We have a working product and a real engineering team; you wont be inventing the company youll be owning the iOS client.

This is ideal for someone with 25 years of shipped iOS (App Store or enterprise) who wants startup ownership without becoming a full-stack web generalist.

Up to $140000 max total annual compensation in Tier 1 cities; cash and equity components to be negotiated. Given the flexible commitment model comp will be structured accordingly fractional or hourly arrangements welcome.

• Youve gotten the iOS project building in Xcode and submitted your first PR
• Youve reviewed app structure navigation and how we talk to APIs
• Youve attended your first engineering standup and know how the team communicates
• Youve shipped (or nearly shipped) a small native screen fix or polish pass
• The team knows who you are why youre here and how youll work together

• Build native iOS Swift screens components and flows in SwiftUI and/or UIKit
• Ship through Apples pipeline TestFlight signing App Store review and release notes
• Own device-side reality lifecycle permissions offline/poor network and the details that make it feel like an iPhone app
• Integrate with our APIs you consume backends; you are not the web frontend or the primary backend owner
• Keep the app healthy tests crash hygiene and code the next iOS person can change
• Participate in code reviews review iOS PRs and learn from reviews of yours

Must-haves:

• 25 years building native iOS in Swift (UIKit and/or SwiftUI) that real people used App Store TestFlight or enterprise
• Comfortable in Xcode: project setup debugging simulators and shipping a build
• Can read an existing iOS codebase and add to it without rewriting everything in a new framework
• Understand iOS fundamentals: app lifecycle Auto Layout or SwiftUI layout networking from the client Git
• Strong async communicator clear PR descriptions and you flag blockers early

Nice-to-have:

• A live App Store link or GitHub you can point us to
• Combine Core Data / SwiftData push notifications or in-app purchases
• Bootcamp CS degree or self-taught we care about what youve shipped on iOS not how you learned it
• Comfortable in fast-moving ambiguous environments

• Not a web frontend role React Vue Angular and CSS are a different posting
• Not React Native or Flutter we need native Swift not a cross-platform wrapper
• Not a backend / full-stack hire you call APIs; you dont own the server or the web app
• Not a junior any language developer we need someone who already ships iOS
