Swift Developer jobs (remote only)

Introduced by Apple in 2014, today, Swift is an even more widespread programming language that is warmly welcomed by iOS Developers. The usage of Swift is rising year over year, and so is the number of Swift vacancies on the market. As the global economy and software development industry move towards total remote, we see more Swift Developer jobs calling for Swift Developers.

Meanwhile, there are several reasons why Swift is trending and generating more Swift remote jobs. To name a few, Swift allows developers to create apps that run flawlessly, ensures secure and safe coding, provides the cutting-edge error handling model, and regularly updated syntax features. In turn, there's a list of skills and technologies Swift Developers should obtain to stay highly competent in this environment.

Core skills and technologies required for Swift Developer remote jobs

Originally, Swift was a part of Objective-C, though today, these two languages differ significantly. Although Swift has become a mature independent language, Objective-C knowledge is still valid and even crucial for many Swift Developer jobs. What other essential skills can you find in Swift vacancies?

• Advanced level of Objective-C knowledge
• Understanding of RunTime and key-value observing principles
• Hands-on Swift protocol-oriented programming

• Competent when working with Git and GitHub

Core responsibilities of the Swift Developer

Just as it's fair for other software development directions, specific responsibilities stated in different Swift programming jobs may differ depending on a particular project, the team size, and other peculiarities. Still, of course, there are typical duties most iOS Swift Developers are expected to do, like:

• Planning and building the apps for iOS and OS X platforms
• Monitoring performance, quality, and responsiveness of the apps
• Collaborating with the team to define, prototype, and deliver new features
