Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Fullstack Swift Developer for an 18-month contractual engagement in Albany, NY. In this role, you will lead end-to-end development using Swift across both client-facing applications (iOS/macOS/iPadOS/Web) and backend services (using Server-Side Swift frameworks such as Vapor or Perfect, REST/GraphQL APIs, and databases).

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.

Frontend/UI: 4+ years of hands-on experience with SwiftUI, UIKit, Combine, and Apple UI/UX Human Interface Guidelines.

Backend Development: Demonstrated experience in 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

Experience with cross-platform Swift deployment or Swift WebAssembly (Wasm).

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.

Experience: 5+ years of overall software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years focused on full-stack or end-to-end Swift development.
