iOS Mobile Application Developer

Contract · Project-based · Two-phase engagement

We are a university-based research team seeking an experienced iOS developer (or small development team) for a contract opportunity to build an iOS mobile application.

This is a project-based contract, not university employment. The work is structured in two phases:

Phase 1 – Technical Feasibility

A focused spike to validate core technical requirements (real-time audio capture/playback, on-device ML inference, latency, and iOS background/audio session behaviour) and recommend an architecture before full development begins.

Phase 2 – Full MVP

If Phase 1 confirms feasibility, the same developer/team will continue to build the full MVP under an agreed scope, timeline, and budget.

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience developing and shipping native iOS apps in Swift
• Solid proficiency with Xcode, iOS SDKs, and Apple development tools
• Experience with real-time audio capture/playback or iOS audio frameworks (strongly preferred)
• Experience running on-device ML models with Core ML and/or TensorFlow Lite (strongly preferred)
• Ability to write clean, well-documented code and work independently while communicating clearly with a technical team
• Familiarity with testing, profiling, optimization, and App Store processes
• Experience with research, accessibility, audio, signal processing, or machine-learning applications is a plus.
