- 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.
