Job description

Responsibilities

• Design and implement iOS features using Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, and modern iOS frameworks.
• Build and maintain high performance mobile applications that handle large datasets such as wind and weather data in real time.
• Develop and integrate Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) features including location services, map navigation, and aviation instrument displays.
• Integrate with external hardware and edge devices to support real time data ingestion and application functionality.
• Architect offline-first experiences and graceful degradation strategies to ensure full application functionality in low or no connectivity environments.
• Implement background processing and long-running compute tasks using Swift Concurrency, async/await, and background task APIs to support continuous data handling without impacting the user experience.
• Apply data security best practices including Keychain storage, encryption, and secure data handling to protect sensitive flight and user data.
• Collaborate with senior engineers and designers to deliver precise, reliable, and intuitive mobile experiences.
• Participate in code reviews and follow established iOS best practices and architectural patterns.
• Help ensure code quality, performance, and maintainability through testing and documentation.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience developing iOS applications, or equivalent experience through internships, projects, or coursework.
• Experience with Swift and SwiftUI, with some exposure to UIKit and common iOS frameworks.
• Familiarity with building or working on EFB applications, location services, or map navigation frameworks such as Mapbox or MapKit.
• Experience integrating with external hardware or edge devices and managing real time data pipelines.
• Demonstrated ability to optimize application performance and handle large datasets without degradation in speed or reliability.
• Experience building offline-first or connectivity-resilient mobile applications, including local data caching and sync strategies.
• Familiarity with background processing patterns and long-running task management using Swift Concurrency or background task frameworks.
• Understanding of iOS data security practices including Keychain, encrypted storage, and secure coding principles.
• Familiarity with asynchronous programming concepts such as async/await, multithreading, or GCD.
• Strong problem solving skills and eagerness to learn from feedback and mentorship.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, fast moving environment.
