• 5+ years of experience in iOS development, with a proven track record of delivering apps to the App Store.
• Expertise in iOS Frameworks such as UIKit, Compositional Layout, Diffable Datasource, SwiftUI, Core Data, Swift Data, etc.
• Proficiency in Swift (Objective C is a plus).
• Experience with Xcode Cloud and other CI/CD Pipelines.
• Strong knowledge of core mobile principles, RESTful APIs, Accessibility, Streaming, and backend integration.
• Deep understanding of Modular architecture patterns, MVC, MVVM and protocol-oriented programming.
• Familiarity with Apple Human Interface guidelines and best practices (e.g. SOLID principles).
• Proficient with Xcode, Github, Cocoapods and Swift package manager.
• Experience with automated testing (XCTest, Swift Testing) and UI testing; TDD knowledge is a plus.
• Excellent debugging and optimization skills, using Instruments and performance testing tools.
• Experience leveraging device capabilities such as camera, GPS, accelerometer, push notifications, and biometrics (Face ID, Touch ID) to enhance app functionality.
• Knowledge and experience integrating on-device AI features (e.g., CoreML, CreateML) for real-time processing, image recognition, natural language processing, and personalized user experiences.
• Experience with speech-to-text and text-to-speech technologies (e.g., Speech Framework, AVFoundation) for seamless voice-driven functionality.
• Strong English communication skills — must be able to collaborate effectively with English-speaking teams.
• Based in Mexico or Brazil, with the ability to work full-time hours aligned to Eastern Standard Time (EST).

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience working on AI-driven products or integrating AI features within mobile apps.
• Exposure to cross-functional collaboration with Customer Success, Sales, or Marketing teams.
• Prior experience in a startup or growth-stage company, with comfort handling ambiguity and shifting priorities.
