iOS Engineer (Swift)

We are building the native iOS version of EgoPlay, the world’s first Physical MMO where users record real-world actions to earn rewards. The app will integrate advanced camera/video capture, sensor data collection, background uploads, gamification mechanics, and a polished, high-performance UI.

We’re looking for a strong iOS Swift developer who can take full ownership of the iOS client — from architecture to App Store launch.
