About REAB
- REAB is a fast growing content and community platform built on values of belonging, quality and trust.
- We deliver a rich, video first mobile experience to a global audience across multiple languages.
- Our mobile app is currently undergoing a phased migration from Flutter to native iOS.
Role Overview
- You will design, build and maintain native iOS features in Swift and SwiftUI, contributing directly to REAB's migration from Flutter to a native architecture.
- You will work on high impact areas such as video playback, content feeds, performance optimisation and the native to Flutter bridge.
- A working knowledge of Flutter is essential, as you will help maintain and gradually replace shared screens during the migration period.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, test and ship native iOS features using Swift and SwiftUI (and UIKit where required).
- Contribute to the ongoing migration of screens from Flutter to native iOS, classifying screens as native, hybrid or retained Flutter as appropriate.
- Build and maintain the native to Flutter communication layer (e.g. Pigeon / platform channels) so both stacks operate seamlessly during the transition.
- Implement and optimise video and media playback using AVPlayer / AVFoundation, ensuring smooth, low latency streaming.
- Profile and improve app performance, memory usage, startup time and battery efficiency.
- Integrate RESTful APIs, handle offline states, caching and robust error handling.
- Work with feature flags and phased rollouts to release native screens safely and incrementally.
- Maintain high code quality through clean architecture, code reviews, unit/UI tests and CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Fastlane, TestFlight).
- Manage App Store releases, provisioning, signing and compliance with Apple guidelines.
- Collaborate with designers and product managers to translate requirements into polished, accessible interfaces.

Nice to Have
- Experience migrating a production app from Flutter to native iOS.
- Knowledge of Pigeon for type safe platform channels.
- Prior experience building social media applications, specifically video based platforms (feeds, short form / long form video, content sharing and engagement).
- Familiarity with analytics, crash reporting and A/B testing tools.
- Exposure to Android / Kotlin or wider cross platform development.
- Working proficiency in additional languages relevant to our audience (e.g. Arabic) is a plus, though not required.
What We Offer
- A central role in shaping REAB's native mobile experience for a large, growing user base.
- A modern engineering culture with ownership, autonomy and direct impact on the product.
- Competitive, tax free salary in Dubai with relocation support where applicable.
