Swift Developer

Mobile Frontend Developer (Swift + React Native)

Location: Addis Ababa (Remote)

Position Type: Full-Time

Compensation: $5–9/hour

About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Mobile Frontend Developer with ** strong experience in both Swift and React Native** to join our team.

This role is focused on building and maintaining mobile applications across both native iOS (Swift) and ** cross-platform (React Native + Expo)** environments. You should be equally comfortable working in both stacks and able to switch between them as needed.

We are a startup — we need someone with a **problem-solver mindset **, who can think creatively, move fast, and take ownership. You should be comfortable working from Figma designs, shipping production apps, and using modern AI-powered development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) to accelerate your workflow.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain mobile applications using React Native (Expo) and ** Swift (iOS)**
• Convert Figma designs into pixel-perfect, production-ready mobile interfaces
• Work across both native iOS and cross-platform mobile stacks
• Manage the full iOS app lifecycle, including building, testing, and publishing to the Apple App Store
• Handle Expo builds, EAS configuration, and deployment workflows
• Integrate and maintain native modules when required
• Collaborate with backend and product teams to deliver end-to-end features
• Debug and resolve performance issues and production bugs
• Contribute to architecture and technical decision-making

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong, hands-on experience with React Native
• Strong, hands-on experience with Expo (including EAS builds and deployment)
• Strong experience with Swift (required — must be comfortable building real features in Swift)
• Proven experience submitting and maintaining apps on the Apple App Store
• Strong understanding of provisioning profiles, certificates, TestFlight, and App Store guidelines
• Experience converting Figma designs into clean, production-ready code
• Experience using AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar)
• Strong problem-solving skills
• Startup mentality — proactive, adaptable, and ownership-driven

Nice to Have

• Experience with TypeScript
• Backend experience (any stack)
• Experience with Go
• Experience with Android (Google Play Store submissions)
• Familiarity with performance optimization and mobile security best practices
• Experience working in early-stage startups

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who is strong in both Swift and React Native (not just one)
• A builder and problem solver
• Someone who can move fast and figure things out independently
• A developer who takes ownership and wants to prove themselves through execution

Requirements

• Strong experience with React Native
• Strong hands-on experience with Expo (including EAS builds and deployment)
• Solid experience with Swift (required)
• Proven experience submitting and maintaining apps on the Apple App Store
• Strong understanding of provisioning profiles, certificates, TestFlight, and App Store review guidelines
• Experience converting Figma designs into production-ready mobile UI
• Experience using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, or similar IDE-integrated AI agents)
• Excellent problem-solving skills
• Startup mentality: proactive, adaptable, and comfortable taking ownership
