We’re hiring a senior iOS Developer in Calgary for our E
* TRADE and Morgan Stanley Wealth Management App team – a collaborative group of folks that value craftsmanship and curiosity. This position is on‑site in our Calgary, Canada office (minimum of 3 days a week).

• Architect and build robust, scalable iOS applications using Swift and SwiftUI
• Write clean, testable, maintainable code with a strong emphasis on performance and reliability
• Dive deep into Apple APIs – from Local Authentication to Common Crypto – and use them to solve real‑world problems elegantly
• Optimize performance using profiling tools, concurrency strategies, and thoughtful design
• Use AI tools to accelerate development, not replace it, freeing up time for deeper thinking and more impactful work

• At least 2 years of experience building and developing iOS applications
• Strong CS fundamentals:
  You understand memory management, data structures, algorithms, and concurrency, and you know when to apply them
• iOS expertise:
  You've built and shipped complex apps, and you know the ins and outs of UIKit, Swift
  
  UI, and the broader Apple ecosystem
• Architectural thinking:
  You can design modular, testable systems and have opinions about MVC, MVVM, and beyond
• Ecosystem knowledge:
  You've worked with CI/CD, app signing, provisioning, Instruments, and understand the full lifecycle of an iOS app
• Clear communicator:
  You can walk through your own code and explain your decisions. You're comfortable saying I don't know and having a relaxed, technical conversation
• Collaborative mindset:
  You're thoughtful, curious, and easy to work with – we try to keep it not so fussy
• AI maturity:
  You use AI tools to enhance your workflow – not to substitute for foundational knowledge

In our virtual interview, you'll walk us through three examples from your own code:

• Swift Language: depth – concurrency, generics, protocol design – not just syntax
• Apple APIs & Frameworks:
  Show how you've used UIKit, Swift
  
  UI, or lesser‑known frameworks like Authentication Services or Web Kit
• Apple Ecosystem:
  Talk about experience with CI/CD, Xcode, performance tuning, app signing, crash analysis, or architecture decisions

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Experience developing APIs.
• Awareness of Android app development.
• Strong user experience skills.
• BA/BS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
