• Experience and competence in C, modern C++
• Ability to identify and resolve problems.
• MQTT-NIO framework
• General Unix/Linux shell-scripting
• Understanding of asynchronous programming, network communication, and data handling on iOS.
• Strong attention to detail in design, usability, and performance.
• Knowledge of and experience with Agile development methodology
• Experience of object-oriented design and knowledge of common design patterns (including MVC, MVVM, GoF etc)
• Familiarity with UIKit and Objective-C interoperability.
• Experience in developing applications using both UIKit and SwiftUI frameworks.
• Experience developing MacOS dtools or companion apps (Cocoa, AppKit)
• Experience integrating networked systems, ideally with gRPC-Swift or MQTT-NIO.
• Apple CoreData
• Ability to work cross-functionally with software, electronics, and robotics engineers.
• High level of competency in Swift, SwiftUI and Objective-C.
• Demonstrated experience building iOS and iPadOS appas with modern UI/UX principles.
• Apple Swift-NIO and associated network frameworks

• Competitive salary, and flexible work options
• Collaborative, innovation-driven team with exciting career growth opportunities.
