iOS Developer (Native)
Build native iOS apps that bring our geospatial platforms to iPhones and iPads — Swift, SwiftUI, and maps that work offline.
About Afterrealism
Afterrealism is a small geospatial software consultancy in Canberra. We build maps, data platforms, and cloud systems for organisations across Australia to a standard set inside Geoscience Australia and CSIRO.
Small is the point: you work directly with the founder, your decisions ship, and you can see exactly where your work lands.
About the role
You'll own the iOS side of our mobile practice: building native apps that put our maps and spatial tools in the hands of field teams across Australia.
Our clients run iPhones and iPads in harsh, low-connectivity environments. You'll build apps that cache data locally, sync intelligently, and stay responsive when the network doesn't exist.
What you'll do
- Design, build, and ship native iOS apps in Swift
- Build offline-first map experiences with local caching and spatial storage
- Implement background location, geofencing, and sync services
- Work with our web and Android teams on shared APIs and data contracts
- Publish to and maintain apps on the App Store
What we're looking for
- 3+ years of native iOS development (Swift)
- SwiftUI and modern iOS architecture (async/await, Combine, Core Data or SwiftData)
- MapKit or MapLibre experience
- Background tasks, push notifications, and battery-efficient location services
- Published apps you can point to
Nice to have
- Geospatial or field-data collection app experience
- Core Location, Core Motion, and sensor fusion
- TestFlight and App Store Connect CI/CD
- Awareness of Kotlin Multiplatform or KMP shared logic
