Senior iOS Developer (Mandarin Speaking) | Swift | SwiftUI | Flutter
Sydney | 6-Month Contract | Immediate Start. Every great discipline has its masters, and every master started by drilling the fundamentals until they became instinct. We are looking for an iOS developer who has put in those hours. Someone fluent in Swift, fluent in Mandarin, and fluent in shipping mobile apps that real people use every day.
Enter the Dojo
We are partnering with a rapidly growing technology platform that is investing heavily in its mobile products and user experience. This is a chance to join a high-performing engineering team building scalable, customer-facing applications used by a large and growing user base.
You will work alongside product managers, designers, backend engineers and QA specialists to deliver innovative mobile solutions, while contributing to the ongoing evolution of the platform. Think of it less as a job and more as a training ground where your craft sharpens with every release.
This is a hands-on building role. Not a watching role. Not a meetings-about-meetings role. You write the code, you ship the features, you own the quality.
What You Will Be Doing
- Design, develop and maintain high-quality iOS applications.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional mobile experiences.
- Participate in the full software development lifecycle, from design through to deployment and support.
- Optimise application performance, stability and usability.
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across development and production environments.
- Write clean, scalable and maintainable Swift code.
- Contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews and technical best practices.
- Explore and implement new technologies that improve development efficiency and product quality.
- Work closely with stakeholders to deliver features aligned with business objectives.
The Forms You Must Master
Every style has its core movements. Here is yours: Swift, mastered at an advanced level. WebView integration, debugging and optimisation. iOS SDK, UIKit, networking and multithreading. RESTful APIs and third-party service integration. Git and a modern software development workflow. Master these, and the rest follows.
What We Are Looking For
- Fluent Mandarin and English communication skills, both written and verbal.
- 3+ years of commercial iOS development experience.
- Strong hands-on experience building and releasing iOS applications.
- Advanced Swift development skills.
- Experience with Flutter and cross-platform mobile development.
- Strong WebView integration, debugging and optimisation experience.
- Deep understanding of the iOS SDK, UIKit, networking, multithreading and mobile architecture principles.
- Experience integrating RESTful APIs and third-party services.
- Strong Git and modern software development workflow experience.
- Excellent problem-solving and debugging abilities.
- The ability to work autonomously while contributing positively to a collaborative team.
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering quality software.
The Master Level Moves
Useful, but not essential. These are the techniques that mark a true black belt: SwiftUI. Combine. Familiarity with MVVM, Clean Architecture or other modern design patterns. Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks. Experience building high-volume consumer applications or performance-critical mobile platforms. If you bring these, you will fit right in.
What Is On Offer
- A 6-month contract with potential extension opportunities.
- A Sydney-based role.
- The opportunity to work on a modern mobile technology stack.
- A collaborative engineering culture.
- A fast-moving product environment where your contributions will have a visible impact.
- Competitive contract rates available depending on experience.
Final Word
A master is not the one who knows the most forms. A master is the one who ships. If you are a Mandarin-speaking iOS Developer who can take a feature from idea to App Store with clean Swift and a calm head under pressure, this contract is worth a serious look.
Bring your discipline. Bring your craft. We will bring the platform, the team and the user base.
