iOS Developer (Native – Swift / SwiftUI)

About Reab

Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, test and ship native iOS features using Swift and SwiftUI (and UIKit where required).
• Contribute to the ongoing migration of screens from Flutter to native iOS, classifying screens as native, hybrid or retained Flutter as appropriate.
• Build and maintain the native-to-Flutter communication layer (e.g. Pigeon / platform channels) so both stacks operate seamlessly during the transition.
• Implement and optimise video and media playback using AVPlayer / AVFoundation, ensuring smooth, low-latency streaming.
• Profile and improve app performance, memory usage, startup time and battery efficiency.
• Integrate RESTful APIs, handle offline states, caching and robust error handling.
• Work with feature flags and phased rollouts to release native screens safely and incrementally.
• Maintain high code quality through clean architecture, code reviews, unit/UI tests and CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Fastlane, TestFlight).
• Manage App Store releases, provisioning, signing and compliance with Apple guidelines.
• Collaborate with designers and product managers to translate requirements into polished, accessible interfaces.
