Position Description

We're hiring a senior iOS Developer in Calgary for our E*TRADE and Morgan Stanley Wealth Management App team-a collaborative group of folks that value craftsmanship and curiosity. This position is on-site in our Calgary, Canada office (minimum of 3 days a week). We're not looking for someone who just knows how to build screens. We're looking for an engineer who understands why things work the way they do - someone who can reason about performance, architecture, and the nuances of Apple's frameworks like a true craftsman.

What You'll Do

Architect and build robust, scalable iOS applications using Swift and SwiftUI Write clean, testable, maintainable code with a strong emphasis on performance and reliability Dive deep into Apple APIs - from LocalAuthentication to CommonCrypto - and use them to solve real-world problems elegantly Optimize performance using profiling tools, concurrency strategies, and thoughtful design Use AI tools to accelerate development, not replace it, freeing up time for deeper thinking and more impactful work What

What you will bring to the role

At least 2 years of experience building and developing iOS applications Strong CS fundamentals: You understand memory management, data structures, algorithms, and concurrency, and you know when to apply them iOS expertise: You've built and shipped complex apps, and you know the ins and outs of UIKit, SwiftUI, and the broader Apple ecosystem Architectural thinking: You can design modular, testable systems and have opinions about MVC, MVVM, and beyond Ecosystem knowledge: You've worked with CI/CD, app signing, provisioning, Instruments, and understand the full lifecycle of an iOS app Clear communicator: You can walk through your own code and explain your decisions. You're comfortable saying I don't know and having a relaxed, technical conversation Collaborative mindset: You're thoughtful, curious, and easy to work with - we try to keep it not so fussy AI maturity: You use AI tools to enhance your workflow - not to substitute for foundational knowledge

How We Interview

In our virtual interview, you'll walk us through three examples from your own code:


Swift Language: We're looking for depth - concurrency, generics, protocol design - not just syntax Apple APIs & Frameworks: Show us how you've used UIKit, SwiftUI, or lesser-known frameworks like AuthenticationServices or WebKit Apple Ecosystem: Talk about your experience with CI/CD, Xcode, performance tuning, app signing, crash analysis, or architecture decisions


We're not looking for perfection - we're looking for engineers who think deeply, communicate clearly, and care about the craft of iOS development.

Desirable Skills

Strong written and verbal communication skills in English. Experience developing APIs. Awareness of Android app development. Strong user experience skills. BA/BS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

We are committed to maintaining the first-class service and high standard of excellence that have defined Morgan Stanley for over 89 years.
