This is a critical, long-term project requiring hands-on experience in modern Swift architecture, cloud integration, database design, and high-performance full-stack application development.

Key Responsibilities

Client-Side (Frontend & Mobile)

  Design, build, and maintain robust, scalable, and responsive user interfaces using
  SwiftUI
  ,
  UIKit
  , and modern Apple ecosystem tools.

• 
  Implement design patterns (MVVM, VIPER, or Composable Architecture) to maintain clear code separation and high maintainability.

• 
  Optimize app performance, memory management, responsiveness, and offline/caching capabilities.

Server-Side (Backend & API)

• 
  Build and deploy scalable backend web applications and RESTful/GraphQL APIs using
  Server-Side Swift
  frameworks (e.g.,
  Vapor
  or
  Hummingbird

• 
  Design, construct, and query relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis) using Swift ORMs (such as Fluent).

• 
  Ensure secure data handling, user authentication (OAuth2, JWT), data encryption, and authorization protocols across all layers.

DevOps & Collaboration

• 
  Collaborate with cross-functional teams including UI/UX designers, project managers, and enterprise architects.

• 
  Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, building, and deployment (Xcode Server, GitHub Actions, Fastlane, Docker).

• 
  Conduct thorough code reviews, enforce coding standards, and write unit, integration, and UI test suites.

Technical Qualifications & Experience

Required Skills

• 
  Core Language:
  Expertise in modern
  Swift 5+
  syntax, concurrency (
  async/await
  , structured concurrency), memory management (ARC), and protocol-oriented programming.

  Server-Side Swift
  (Vapor, Hummingbird, or similar) or strong proficiency in backend microservices architecture.

• 
  Database Management:
  Solid grasp of relational databases (
  PostgreSQL
  ,
  MySQL
  ) and NoSQL stores, along with Swift ORMs (e.g., Fluent).

• 
  API Development:
  Experience writing and consuming RESTful APIs, WebSockets, and JSON processing.

• 
  Version Control & DevOps:
  Advanced proficiency with
  Git
  , Docker containers, and CI/CD pipelines.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

  Familiarity with enterprise deployment in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

• 
  Knowledge of state government or public-sector IT compliance standards

Education & Experience

• 
  Education:
  Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
