About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior iOS Developer to join Eden Health’s engineering team. You will own the patient-facing iOS application published on the Apple App Store, architect scalable mobile solutions, and ensure the app meets the strict security and compliance requirements of the GCC healthcare market. You will collaborate closely with backend, product, and design teams, mentor junior developers, and drive our iOS platform from development through App Store submission and beyond.
Key Responsibilities
Architecture & Development
- Design, build, and maintain high-quality, scalable iOS applications using Swift and Xcode.
- Architect robust iOS solutions following MVVM + Clean Architecture or VIPER patterns.
- Lead the full mobile development lifecycle from requirements through App Store release.
- Write clean, performant, and well-documented Swift code adhering to Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.
- Implement complex UI/UX with pixel-perfect precision using UIKit and SwiftUI.
- Build and maintain support across iPhone form factors — from iPhone SE (small screen, Touch ID) to iPhone 15 Pro (Dynamic Island, Face ID) — ensuring layout correctness across all screen sizes.
App Store Publishing & Distribution
- Own the complete App Store submission process: archive builds, manage provisioning profiles, certificates, and App Store Connect metadata.
- Manage TestFlight distribution — internal builds for the Eden team and external beta for pilot patients in the GCC region.
- Prepare App Store assets: screenshots across required device sizes, app preview videos, localised descriptions, and keyword-optimised metadata.
- Navigate Apple’s healthcare app review guidelines (Medical category, Guideline 5.1.1, 5.1.3) and respond professionally to App Review feedback.
- Manage incremental releases, hotfix submissions, and phased rollouts via App Store Connect.
HIPAA Compliance & US Healthcare Integration
- Design and implement the app in full compliance with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) — protecting all Protected Health Information (PHI) at rest, in transit, and in use.
- Adhere to HITECH Act requirements — ensuring breach notification readiness and audit trail capabilities within the mobile app.
- Implement HL7 FHIR R4 API integration for interoperability with US EHR systems including Epic MyChart, Cerner, and Athenahealth.
- Follow ONC (Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT) interoperability and information-blocking rules — patients must be able to access and export their own data.
- Integrate with Apple’s Health Records API (built on FHIR) to pull patient data from participating US hospital systems directly into the app.
- Follow FDA Digital Health guidelines for Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) if applicable — understand when FDA oversight applies to clinical decision features.
Implement Business Associate Agreement (BAA) awareness in third-party SDK selection — only use vendors who sign a BAA (e.g. AWS, Google Cloud Healthcare API, Twilio).
-
Security & Data Protection
- Enable and enforce Data Protection entitlement to encrypt all PHI files at rest using the device passcode.
- Implement biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID) via Local Authentication for secure patient login.
- Apply SSL/TLS certificate pinning to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks on all clinical API calls.
- Implement jailbreak and tampering detection to prevent app execution on compromised devices.
- Store all tokens, credentials, and PHI exclusively in the iOS Keychain — never in User Defaults or plain storage.
- Implement automatic session timeout and re-authentication as required by HIPAA access controls (45 CFR §164.312).
- Ensure all PHI transmitted over the network uses end-to-end encryption (TLS 1.2+ minimum, TLS 1.3 preferred) in compliance with HIPAA Technical Safeguards.
- Support remote wipe / data purge capability for lost or stolen devices containing cached PHI.
HealthKit & Platform Integration
- Implement HealthKit integration for reading and writing patient vitals, activity, and health records with Apple Health.
- Integrate with Apple Health Records API to pull FHIR-formatted clinical data from US hospital systems that participate in the Apple Health Records program.
- Build teleconsultation features using AVFoundation and WebRTC — camera, microphone, and real-time video.
- Implement APNs push notifications for appointment reminders, prescription alerts, and care plan nudges.
- Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and third-party healthcare SDKs.
Accessibility & Localisation
- Ensure full compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act — the app must be accessible to users with disabilities, including those using assistive technologies.
- Support English and Spanish (es-US) localisation — Spanish is the second most spoken language in the USA and critical for patient inclusivity.
- Support Dynamic Type for font scaling and ensure all interactive elements meet 44×44 pt minimum tap target size.
- Implement VoiceOver accessibility labels on all interactive elements to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
- Support Dark Mode with semantic colour tokens across all app screens.
Testing & Quality
- Build and maintain unit tests (XCTest / Swift Testing) and UI tests (XCUITest) with minimum 70% coverage.
- Test on physical devices for hardware-dependent features (Face ID, HealthKit, camera, Bluetooth) and BrowserStack for device matrix coverage.
- Use Xcode Instruments (Time Profiler, Allocations, Leaks, Energy Log) for performance profiling before every major release.
- Test across all supported iPhone form factors: iPhone SE 3rd Gen, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 15 Pro minimum.
- Diagnose and resolve complex bugs and crashes using LLDB, memory graph debugger, and Crashlytics.
CI/CD & DevOps
- Set up and maintain Fastlane lanes for automated building, testing, signing, and uploading to TestFlight and App Store.
- Configure GitHub Actions or Bitrise pipelines for continuous integration: SwiftLint, unit tests, UI tests, and archive on every PR.
- Manage code signing via match (Fastlane) — certificates and provisioning profiles stored securely in a private Git repo or encrypted storage.
- Integrate BrowserStack App Automate into CI pipeline for automated regression testing across multiple iPhone form factors and iOS versions.
Technical Leadership
- Serve as iOS technical lead — drive architectural decisions and enforce best practices.
- Conduct thorough code reviews, establish coding standards (SwiftLint), and maintain code quality.
- Mentor junior and mid-level iOS developers within the team.
- Track Apple platform updates (WWDC) and recommend adoption roadmap for new capabilities.
Hybrid Development (Added Advantage)
- Contribute to or lead hybrid mobile development using React Native or Flutter where applicable.
- Bridge native iOS modules with hybrid frameworks to extend cross-platform functionality.
- Advise on hybrid vs. native strategy based on project requirements and performance trade-offs.
