• Identify and fix

performance bottlenecks, memory issues, and UI jank using Xcode Instruments

• Integrate

with backend services via GraphQL and RESTful APIs

• Participate in code reviews

, share feedback constructively, and learn from senior engineers

• Understanding of common architectural patterns (MVVM, MVC) and a willingness to learn more advanced ones
• Solid grasp of core software development principles — OOP, design patterns, version control (Git), and code reviews
• Ability to debug, profile, and optimize apps for performance and smooth user experience
• Experience writing clean, testable, reusable code with AI-assisted tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, or similar)
• Experience consuming RESTful APIs; familiarity with GraphQL is a plus
• A collaborative mindset and eagerness to grow in a team environment

Nice-to-Have

• Familiarity with Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines and an eye for UI/UX detail

What We Have
