OverviewWe're seeking an iOS Engineer with deep expertise in mobile 3D applications and spatial computing. You will own end-to-end delivery of major iOS features, driving our product from development to production-ready solutions. This role demands mastery of iOS development, the ability to cut through ambiguity, and ownership of complex systems in a fast-moving environment.
This is a hybrid position, meaning that you will need to live within easy driving distance to our Technology Center in Columbia, Maryland.
What You'll DoFeature Development & Architecture- Own end-to-end delivery of major iOS features, taking Quidient's 5D product and SDK from prototype to production with a focus on reliability and performance.
- Architect and design new capabilities within existing iOS codebases, establishing patterns that scale as our product line grows.
- Drive technical decisions on how Quidient builds SDKs and apps from internal frameworks, developing long term sustainable solutions that mature over time.
- Build and optimize 5D mobile applications leveraging ARKit, RealityKit, Metal, and GPU acceleration for high-performance, low-latency experiences.
- Collaborate cross functionally with SDET, Algorithm, and Infrastructure teams to harden features for production and integrate CI/CD pipelines.
- Design and implement RESTful APIs and integrate with server side technologies to support mobile backend communication.
- Assemble complex solutions from loosely defined requirements, navigating ambiguity.
- Mentor and influence technical direction across the iOS team as the product scales.
What You BringMust-Have Qualifications:- Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or related engineering field.
- 7+ years of industry experience in iOS development; freelance acceptable but must include experience with large, complex codebases (not simple sandbox or siloed apps).
- 3+ years of experience building 3D applications or working with spatial computing technologies.
- Deep expertise in iPhone app development using Swift, with recent hands-on iOS.
- Heavy iOS framework experience including ARKit, AVFoundation, Core Location, Core Motion, VisionKit, RealityKit, ImageIO, and CoreML.
- Experience developing web based applications using modern front end technologies and server-side technologies.
- Strong experience in RESTful API design and development.
- Experience in coding languages such as C++ and Python.
- Demonstrated ability to assemble complex solutions from loosely defined requirements without clear PRDs or design documentation.
- Ownership mindset with ability to drive initiatives on a small team with minimal oversight.
- Live within easy commuting distance of our Technology Center in Columbia, Maryland.
- This position is not eligible for H-1B sponsorship.
- Meet Quidient, customer, and government security requirements, which may include, but are not limited to a background check, citizenship verification, and Criminal Justice Information Services verification.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications:- Experience deploying high-performance, low-latency applications.
- Experience creating computer vision or image processing applications.
- Metal and GPU programming experience.
- Knowledge of Android app development (Kotlin) or cross-platform frameworks (Flutter).
- Knowledge of cloud products and platforms, microservice architectures, automation, and API integration.
