About the role:

At Area of People, we build more than just software: we create livable neighborhoods. Our AI-driven community platform connects residents with each other and with real estate providers - from investors to housing associations. This way, we support them in measurably strengthening their social impact.

Right now, we are looking for an iOS Developer who thrives in a scale-up environment, where priorities shift and outcomes matter more than output. This role is not about just shipping features, it’s about owning the full lifecycle of our resident-facing iOS app: building, iterating, and ensuring the app remains reliable, scalable, and impactful as we grow.

In this role you will:

• Own the development of our native iOS application (Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI).
• Build new features end-to-end, from architecture to App Store release.
• Collaborate closely with product, UX/UI, backend, web, and Android to deliver consistent and high-quality experiences.
• Ensure scalability and performance through profiling, optimization, and solid architecture choices.
• Implement and maintain integrations with APIs and backend services.
• Follow and apply accessibility and design system guidelines.
• Track adoption, performance, and user feedback to guide iteration.
• Act as the iOS counterpart to the Android developer, ensuring feature parity.

We are looking for someone with:

• Strong skills in Swift and iOS frameworks (UIKit/SwiftUI, MVVM or Clean Architecture).
• Experience integrating APIs and working in cross-functional teams.
• Awareness of design systems, accessibility, and good UX practices.
• Ownership mindset: comfortable shipping features independently.
• Fluency in English (spoken and written).

Skills and experience that will help you succeed:

• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Fastlane, GitHub Actions, Bitrise, etc.).
• Experience with high-usage consumer apps.
• Background in SaaS or B2B2C platforms.

What we can offer you:

• A gross monthly salary between €4000 - €5500 (32–40 hours per week, depending on experience).
• Lunch at the office.
• Office with a view from the Jaarbeurs Innovation Mile, right next to Utrecht Central Station.
• Hybrid working (from home, at the office, or with clients).
• A €350 home office setup allowance.
• A personal development budget with full room to grow your skills.
• 25 vacation days (based on 40 hours).
• Pension scheme, travel allowance, and a MacBook.
• Team outing and inspiring sessions.
• Opportunities to grow within a fast-growing, innovative scale-up.
