Mobile Application Developer (Calgary, AB)

• Design, develop, and deploy native iOS applications in Swift and SwiftUI supporting field and office workflows across Project Operations, Asset Operations, People, and Commercial functions.
• Build offline-first applications with robust local persistence and synchronization, ensuring full functionality on remote sites with intermittent or no connectivity, and reliable conflict resolution on reconnect.
• Integrate with physical hardware and device capabilities, including Bluetooth Low Energy peripherals, NFC and RFID readers, GPS and geofencing, camera capture, and barcode and document scanning.
• Build native clients against the DataCore data and API layer, including Dataverse, Azure APIs, and enterprise systems of record, following our API-first and hub-and-spoke integration patterns, and extend the backend services those clients depend on.
• Replatform high-usage Power Apps field solutions to native iOS where performance, offline capability, or user experience justifies it, and lead the transition of existing cross-platform mobile applications to native.
• Contribute to development across the broader Digital Operations platform, including Power Apps, Power Automate, and integration work, applying the right tool to the problem rather than defaulting to one technology.
• Manage the application release lifecycle in coordination with the broader team, including build pipelines, TestFlight distribution, and managed enterprise deployment to company devices.
• Follow and help establish mobile development standards covering architecture, source control, code review, testing, and security, in alignment with platform governance frameworks.
• Collaborate with Operations Analysts, business stakeholders, and frontline personnel to translate requirements into scalable solutions, and validate them through direct observation of the work being digitized.
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, and maintain technical documentation including solution designs, API specifications, and data models.

• Bachelor's degree or diploma in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Demonstrable portfolio of shipped iOS applications, whether commercial, enterprise, or independently published.

• Typically 4 to 8 years of professional software development experience, including at least 2 years focused on native iOS development. This role may be filled at either an intermediate or senior level depending on the depth of experience the successful candidate brings; a senior appointment would carry broader responsibility for mobile architecture and technical direction.
• Depth in native iOS development is the priority. Experience across the following areas is helpful, but not required in every category:
  • Swift and SwiftUI, with working knowledge of UIKit for legacy and interoperability scenarios
  • iOS application architecture, state management, and modular code organization
  • Offline-first design using SQLite and/or SwiftData, including synchronization and conflict resolution
  • Apple hardware frameworks: CoreBluetooth, CoreNFC, CoreLocation, AVFoundation, VisionKit
  • REST API consumption, OAuth 2.0 and Microsoft Entra ID authentication, and asynchronous networking
  • Xcode toolchain, TestFlight, App Store Connect, provisioning, and enterprise distribution via Apple Business Manager and Microsoft Intune
  • Source control and collaborative workflow (Git, branching, pull requests, code review)
  • Microsoft Power Platform: Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse
  • Azure cloud services, functions, storage, database services, API management
  • Hands-on coding ability in one or more of: Swift, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, C#
  • SQL query writing, data modeling fundamentals, and JSON and XML data interchange formats
• Experience building applications for construction, resource, logistics, or other field-based operating environments is an asset.
• Experience with ruggedized hardware, RFID or BLE asset tracking, or telematics integration is an asset.
• Exposure to cross-platform frameworks (Flutter, .NET MAUI, React Native), on-device machine learning, or applied AI in operational applications is an asset.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability with attention to detail and accuracy.
• Genuine interest in how physical work gets done, and willingness to spend time on site and in the warehouse to understand the workflows being digitized.
• Ability to learn and master new technologies, frameworks, and business domains quickly.
• Sound judgment on where native development is warranted and where an existing platform capability is the better answer.
• Effective communication skills, able to collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and explain technical concepts clearly.
• Self-motivated with strong time management, able to manage competing priorities and deliver under deadlines.
• A strong desire to continuously learn and improve, with a bias toward action and practical results.
