Remote iOS Engineer jobs

8 open positions in the United States, newest first.

iOS engineers build applications for Apple's mobile platforms, chiefly the iPhone and iPad. They write the app in Swift, connect it to backend services, and take it through Apple's review and release process. They are responsible for the app being responsive, stable across devices and operating system versions, and consistent with the platform's conventions.

About the iOS Engineer role

What the work looks like

  • Build screens and features in Swift using SwiftUI or UIKit from the design team's specifications.
  • Integrate REST or GraphQL APIs, local persistence, push notifications and in-app purchases.
  • Diagnose crashes, memory leaks and slow rendering with Xcode Instruments and crash reports.
  • Prepare builds for TestFlight, manage certificates and provisioning profiles, and submit releases for App Store review.
  • Update the app each year for new iOS versions, new devices and App Store policy changes.

What employers ask for

  • Swift, plus Objective-C for older codebases
  • SwiftUI and UIKit
  • Xcode, Instruments and TestFlight
  • Swift concurrency with async/await or Combine
  • Unit and UI testing with XCTest
  • App Store submission and review guidelines

Doing this job remotely

iOS development needs a Mac and test devices but no shared office, and mobile teams are frequently remote. Releases go through app review and cannot be rolled back instantly like a web deploy, so release weeks call for tight coordination and testing. Employers usually supply hardware and expect overlap with backend and design colleagues.

Where it comes from and where it leads

iOS engineers come from computer science programs, bootcamps or self-taught app building, and sometimes from web or Android development. They advance to senior and staff mobile roles, lead mobile platform teams, or move into engineering management.
