IOS Developer-5

Job Title: iOS Developer
Location – Menlo Park, CA - 3x/week onsite
Contract

Position Description:

• We’re hiring (more than one) senior iOS Developer for our E*TRADE and Client Wealth Management App team-a collaborative group of folks that value craftsmanship and curiosity.
• This position is on-site in our Menlo office (minimum of 3 days a week).
• We’re not looking for someone who just knows how to build screens.

-We’re looking for an engineer who understands why things work the way they do - someone who can reason about performance, architecture, and the nuances of Apple’s frameworks like a true craftsman.

• What You’ll Do:
• Architect and build robust, scalable iOS applications using Swift and SwiftUI
• Write clean, testable, maintainable code with a strong emphasis on performance and reliability
• Dive deep into Apple APIs - from Local Authentication to Common Crypto - and use them to solve real-world problems elegantly
• Optimize performance using profiling tools, concurrency strategies, and thoughtful design
• Mentor other developers and help shape the technical culture of our Menlo office
• Use AI tools to accelerate development, not replace it, freeing up time for deeper thinking and more impactful work

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong CS fundamentals: You understand memory management, data structures, algorithms, and concurrency, and you know when to apply them
• Deep iOS expertise: You’ve built and shipped complex apps, and you know the ins and outs of UIKit, SwiftUI, and the broader Apple ecosystem
• Architectural thinking: You can design modular, testable systems and have opinions about MVC, MVVM, and beyond
• Curiosity and craftsmanship: You care about how things are built, not just what gets built
• Ecosystem fluency: You’ve worked with CI/CD, app signing, provisioning, Instruments, and understand the full lifecycle of an iOS app
• Clear communicator: You can walk through your own code and explain your decisions. You’re comfortable saying “I don’t know” and having a relaxed, technical conversation
• Collaborative mindset: You’re thoughtful, curious, and easy to work with - we try to keep it not so fussy
• AI maturity: You use AI tools to enhance your workflow - not to substitute for foundational knowledge

How We Interview:

• In our phone screen, you’ll walk us through three examples from your own code:
• Swift Language: We’re looking for depth - concurrency, generics, protocol design - not just syntax
• Apple APIs & Frameworks: Show us how you’ve used UIKit, SwiftUI, or lesser-known frameworks like Authentication Services or WebKit
• Apple Ecosystem: Talk about your experience with CI/CD, Xcode, performance tuning, app signing, crash analysis, or architecture decisions

We’re not looking for perfection – we’re looking for engineers who think deeply, communicate clearly, and care about the craft of iOS development.
This is a full-time position and is expected to be at least one year in duration.
The candidate must work on-site, a minimum of 3 days a week.
Vacation policy is flexible with advance notice.

Additional Required Skills:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• BA/BS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Additional Desired Skills:

• Experience developing APIs
• Awareness of Android app development.
• Strong user experience skills.
