### Job Brief

We are seeking a passionate and experienced iOS Developer to join our team. Currently, our product has a mature and well-established web platform (Single Page Application with decoupled frontend/backend infrastructure). The core strategic focus of our next phase is to build our iOS application from the ground up to deliver a high-standard native experience.

The defining mission of this role is to build high-performance, highly responsive native applications through quality code architecture.

### Job Responsibilities

-   **From-Scratch Product Development:** Lead the architectural design and implementation of the iOS app, translating existing web features into high-performance, fluid, and native Swift applications.
-   **UI Performance & Interaction Architecture:** Collaborate with UI/UX designers to implement complex custom controls, custom transitions, and micro-interactions, ensuring dynamic rendering aligns with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) performance metrics.
-   **Data Refreshing & Thread Scheduling:** Integrate and optimize near-real-time data update mechanisms (e.g., polling, SSE, or lightweight streams). Design efficient data caching and throttling/debouncing mechanisms to minimize CPU and power consumption.
-   **Global Deployment & App Store Operations:** Manage the end-to-end global release process on the App Store (targeting markets including Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, India, and the United States), handling region-specific privacy compliance and localization requirements.
-   **CI/CD Pipeline Maintenance:** Establish and maintain automated build, test, and deployment workflows (e.g., via Fastlane and GitHub Actions) to support a reliable and agile shipping cadence.

## Requirements

-   Extensive iOS Engineering Experience: 5+ years of professional iOS development experience, with a proven track record of architecting, building, and successfully shipping at least one major application from scratch.
-   Mastery of Swift & UI Performance: Deep understanding of Swift language features, memory management, and Core Animation. Advanced proficiency in concurrent programming (GCD, Modern Swift Concurrency) is required to ensure data processing never blocks the main UI thread.
-   Data Integration & Caching: Solid experience working with RESTful APIs and near-real-time data rendering, with a strong grasp of data caching and stream control to keep UI updates orderly.
-   Global App Store Compliance: Hands-on experience navigating cross-border App Store review guidelines, particularly handling complex compliance obstacles (e.g., privacy mandates, 2FA requirements, or region-specific verification documentation in markets like China or India).
-   Automated DevOps Workflows: High proficiency with Fastlane (including Fastlane match for certificate synchronization and utilizing App Store Connect API Keys to bypass 2FA prompts on headless CI/CD runners).
