iOS Systems & Full-Stack Engineer (Python expert as backend development language)

Job Title: iOS Systems & Full-Stack Engineer Role Overview We are looking for a highly skilled iOS Engineer who lives and breathes the Apple ecosystem but isn't afraid to dive into the server-side. You won't just be building apps; you will be navigating the internals of iOS, and building the APIs that power these interactions. This role is perfect for a developer who enjoys "how things work" under the hood—from XCTest and mobile-subsystems to scalable backend services in Python or Go. Key Responsibilities ● Backend API Development (50-60%): During key infrastructure sprints, you will focus heavily on building, scaling, and maintaining the Python or Go services. ● iOS Core Development (40-50%): Design and maintain complex iOS applications and frameworks using Swift and Objective-C. ● System-Level Engineering: Deep dive into iOS internals (processes, security, and automation frameworks) to support custom hardware or software integrations. ● Backend Integration: Develop, test, and maintain robust, scalable APIs in Python (FastAPI/Flask) or Go to support mobile features and data synchronization. ● Ecosystem Troubleshooting: Provide high-level technical support for the entire Apple stack, including code-signing, provisioning, MDM (Mobile Device Management), and CI/CD pipelines. ● Collaboration: Work closely with infrastructure teams to ensure mobile devices are correctly isolated and containerized within our broader service environment. Required Technical Skills 1. The iOS Power User ● Expertise in Swift and a strong working knowledge of Objective-C. ● Deep understanding of iOS Internals: Process management, keychain, background tasks, and system performance tuning. ● Experience with XCUITest and mobile automation tools (e.g., Maestro, Appium, or custom XCTest runners). ● Mastery of the Apple Deployment cycle: Certificates, Provisioning Profiles, App Store Connect, and TestFlight. 2. The API / Backend Hybrid ● Proficiency in either Python or Go. ● Experience designing RESTful or gRPC APIs. ● Knowledge of Docker and containerization strategies for isolating service environments. ● Understanding of networking protocols (WebSockets, HTTP/2, SSH tunneling). ● Good understanding of Design patterns and Data Structures and Algorithms. Required Experience : • Minimum 4 years of software development experience in IOS development and backend technologies. Required Education • Four year Bachelor’s degree in computer science or Information Technology. Location • India (remote) Soft Skills & Mindset ● Support-Oriented: Willingness to provide "on-call" or deep-dive technical support when Apple ecosystem updates break existing workflows. ● Architecture First: Ability to write Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to justify tech stack choices. ● Security-Conscious: An instinctive understanding of why we isolate device-manipulation scripts in Docker for security. Bonus Points ● Knowledge of macOS Virtualization (Tart, Anka, or Apple Virtualization Framework). ● Contributions to open-source mobile tooling.
