Contract · Project-based · Two-phase engagement

We are a university-based research team seeking an experienced iOS developer (or small development team) for a contract prospect to build an iOS mobile application.

This is a project-based contract, not university employment. The work is structured in two phases:

Phase 1 – Technical Feasibility
A focused spike to validate core technical requirements (real-time audio capture/playback, on-device ML inference, latency, and iOS background/audio session behaviour) and recommend an architecture before full development begins.

Phase 2 – Full MVP
If Phase 1 confirms feasibility, the same developer/team will continue to build the full MVP under an agreed scope, timeline, and budget.

What we’re looking for




Strong experience developing and shipping native iOS apps in Swift
Solid proficiency with Xcode, iOS SDKs, and Apple development tools
Experience with real-time audio capture/playback or iOS audio frameworks (strongly preferred)
Experience running on-device ML models with Core ML and/or TensorFlow Lite (strongly preferred)
Ability to write clean, well-documented code and work independently while communicating clearly with a technical team
Familiarity with testing, profiling, optimization, and App Store processes
Experience with research, accessibility, audio, signal processing, or machine-learning applications is a plus.
