iOS Engineer

About the Role Mobile is the front door to the Q-ID. Every authentication, whether it’s a customs officer scanning a tax stamp, a partner embedding Q-ID verification into their own app, or a consumer checking a product is genuine, happens on a smartphone. These authentications happen in variable real-world conditions, on a wide range of devices. The iOS Engineer will be responsible for productising research and development outputs, creating a robust and well-engineered app and SDK. They will bring skills across: Native iOS (Swift, SwiftUI, AVFoundation, Core ML, Vision) Mobile SDK distribution, for partners embedding Q-ID into their own apps Cross-platform integrations like .NET MAUI, React Native, and Flutter Integration with our AWS verification APIs This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is looking to progress in their career and translate cutting-edge scientific research into a tangible, real-world product. Ideal for a strong early-career or mid-level engineer who wants to grow into deep mobile product ownership. Small mobile improvements (e.g., scan speed, false-reject rate, camera handling) have an outsized commercial impact and are often the difference between winning and losing a customer.
