The role

What an iOS Developer does.

An iOS Developer builds and maintains your apps for iPhone and iPad. They work in Swift with Apple’s frameworks, connect the app to your back end and handle everything needed to ship through the App Store. Teams usually bring one in to launch a first iOS app, rebuild an aging one or speed up releases.

Typical responsibilities

Build app features in Swift with SwiftUI or UIKit.
Connect the app to your APIs, sign-in and push notifications.
Handle offline mode, local storage and data sync.
Make the app fast, stable and battery-friendly on real devices.
Write unit and UI tests, and fix crashes reported in production.
Manage builds, TestFlight betas and App Store releases.
Follow Apple’s design guidelines and work closely with designers.

Hiring in LATAM

Hiring an iOS Developer with Selecta One.

Strong iOS developers ship. They know Swift and SwiftUI well, but also the less visible work: App Store review, crash reports, performance on older devices and the release rhythm your users expect.

What we look for

Production apps in the App Store, with releases they owned end to end.
Solid Swift, with SwiftUI for new screens and enough UIKit to maintain older ones.
Clean API integration, offline handling and secure storage of user data.
Crash and performance work with Xcode Instruments and crash reporting tools.
Testing habits: unit and UI tests that run in CI before each release.

How they work with your team

Join your sprints, stand-ups and code reviews on your U.S. hours.
Build from your designers' Figma files and Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
Coordinate API changes with your back-end team before they ship.
Own TestFlight betas and App Store submissions if you want them to.

How fast can you recommend an iOS Developer?

Within 7 days of the kick-off we present one recommended candidate, plus two qualified alternatives. You run your own interviews and make the final call.

Will they work U.S. hours and speak English?

Yes. We hire in Latin America for time zone overlap with U.S. teams, and every candidate is assessed on advanced English as well as skills, experience and how they work with others.

Native iOS or a cross-platform developer?

If your app depends on Apple-specific features, performance or a polished native feel, hire native in Swift. If you need one codebase for iOS and Android, we can also look for React Native or Flutter experience. We define this together in the kick-off.

Can we hire an iOS Developer directly instead?

Yes. With Direct Hire you employ the person yourself. The fee starts at 12.5% of annual salary and includes a 180-day replacement guarantee.
