Job description

Senior iOS Developer (Swift) – Video Streaming – Hilversum (Media)

My client, one of the leading media companies in the Netherlands, is setting up a brand-new in-house mobile team. This team will take full ownership of developing a new aged tech white‑label platform that will serve as the backbone for well‑known radio and video apps.

You will join a newly formed Scrum team consisting of a Product Owner, a UX Designer, four native developers (iOS & Android), and a QA Automation Engineer. Together, you will build a platform fully based on the latest technologies: native Swift for iOS, combined with a GraphQL backend (AWS AppSync). The goal is to achieve maximum efficiency and scalability while making a significant impact on the user experience of millions of users.

Your profile

• 5+ years of professional experience as a native iOS developer using Swift.
• Strong expertise in video streaming. Experience with JW Player (or a similar solution) is a big plus.
• Proven experience implementing advertisements and paid content within video players.
• Hands‑on experience with casting technologies such as AirPlay is essential.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to act as a technical sparring partner for the Engineering Manager and the team.

Nice to have

• Knowledge of GraphQL (ideally AWS AppSync) and backend technologies such as Node.js.
• Understanding of cloud‑native development principles and experience with AWS; Docker/Kubernetes experience is a plus.
• A “getting things done” mindset with a focus on solutions rather than problems.
• Excellent command of the English language, as the team is international.

Salary: up to 80K

WFH: Hybrid (approx. 50/50)

Location: Hilversum
