Develop and Maintain Scalable iOS Applications:
Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented Swift code following best practices.
Architect scalable and maintainable iOS applications using MVVM, MVVM -C, VIPER, and Clean Architecture principles.
Concurrency & Performance Optimization:
Implement efficient concurrent operations using GCD, Operations, and async/await.
Optimize app performance, battery consumption, and memory management using Instruments profiling.
UI/UX & Animations:
Implement custom UI components, animations, and transitions while adhering to Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.
Ensure smooth user experience with optimized layouts, animations, and interactions.
Location Services & Offline Capabilities:
Implement Geolocation services, including background location tracking.
Develop offline caching and data synchronization strategies for seamless user experiences.
API Integration & Security:
Work with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and WebSockets.
Implement OAuth, JWT authentication, and secure data storage following security best practices.
Testing & CI/CD Automation:
Write unit tests, UI tests, and integration tests using XCTest, TDD/BDD methodologies.
Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Fastlane, Bitrise, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins).
Additional Responsibilities
Mentorship & Code Reviews:
Provide technical guidance and mentor junior developers.
Conduct code reviews and ensure adherence to best coding practices.
App Deployment & Maintenance:
Handle App Store submission & review process to ensure smooth deployment.
Monitor app performance using analytics, crash monitoring (Firebase, Sentry, etc.).
Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams:
Work closely with backend engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver seamless features.
Participate in Agile/Scrum sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives.
