Flexible Hybrid Environment: Enjoy a balanced working arrangement combining onsite teamwork in Toronto with remote flexibility.

Responsibilities
Interpret System Requirements Specifications (SRS) and System Design Specifications (SDS) to build robust iOS solutions aligned with architecture standards.

Design and implement native mobile application features using SwiftUI, UIKit, Swift Concurrency, and reactive programming patterns.

Participate actively in code reviews to ensure standards compliance, code reusability, maintainability, and quality control.

Deliver effective solutions within Agile development cycles, meeting key project milestones, quality baselines, and security standards.
