SENIOR IOS DEVELOPER

Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Senior iOS Developer for a full-time position (40 hours per week) in Ukraine. Our client is the largest airport television network, with 2,500+ screens in 90 commercial airports and 58 private/FBO airports across North America. They leverage various data and tech that enable targeting messaging, offer shopability, and allow viewers to continue watching TV content on their mobile devices. The client works with brands like Belvedere, Netflix, Sony, TikTok, Hilton, and Bose to innovate and create the best opportunities to connect with the world’s tastemakers.

We’re looking for candidates with strong geofencing and geo-targeting expertise and solid experience in media playback. It could include native media players (such as AVKit or ExoPlayer) or browser-based playback using an embedded WebView, depending on the architecture. Ideally, you should be comfortable with both approaches, as the implementation may involve native playback for performance and more profound control, while supporting web-based video content when appropriate. The rest of the requirements are relatively straightforward — we’re simply looking for someone up-to-date with the current mobile technology stack. You’ll join the team specializing in geo-location services, active geo-targeting, and advanced media playback (live and on-demand video). You will build high-performance mobile experiences that intelligently respond to users’ real-world locations and deliver dynamic video content through an embedded media player. In addition to core features, you will help integrate surveys, coupon delivery systems, and location-driven personalized offers within the app.
