## About the Role

* Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
 * 3+ years of experience building and maintaining high-performance, customer-facing iOS applications.
 * Strong expertise in Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, the iOS SDK, and the Xcode development environment.
 * Deep understanding of modern Swift Concurrency (e.g., async/await, Actors, TaskGroups, and structured concurrency patterns).
 * Hands-on experience with clean mobile architecture patterns (such as MVVM-C, VIPER, or The Composable Architecture / TCA) tailored for declarative UI workflows.
 * Fluency with AI-first developer tooling (e.g., Cursor, Claude, LLM-driven coding workflows) to increase development velocity, inspect edge cases, and streamline delivery.
 * Familiarity with local data persistence (e.g., SwiftData, Core Data, or Realm), network caching layer integration (URLSession), and dependency management using Swift Package Manager (SPM).
 * Strong computer science fundamentals, including object-oriented and functional programming, data structures, unit testing (XCTest/Swift Testing), performance profiling (Instruments), and multithreaded debugging.
 * Demonstrated domain experience with flight search engines, travel e-commerce, Global Distribution Systems (GDS), real-time dynamic pricing, or complex API consumption (REST/GraphQL) is a strong plus.
 * Illustrated history of living the values necessary to Priceline: Customer, Innovation, Team, Accountability, and Trust.
 * The Right Results, the Right Way" is not just a motto at Priceline; it's a way of life. Unquestionable integrity and ethics is essential.

## Description

* Perform extensive native development in Xcode, utilizing Swift and SwiftUI to construct reactive, accessible, and high-performance booking flows.
 * Create innovative flight search features-from real-time fare comparison and seat map interactions to flight customization and dynamic checkout flows-from scratch.
 * Leverage modern AI-assisted developer tools (such as Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot) to accelerate ideation, code generation, refactoring, and automated testing workflows.
 * Collaborate closely with product managers, backend engineers, and UI/UX specialists to craft fast, stable solutions built on top of Apple's latest iOS SDKs.
 * Architect client-side data handling, networking, and caching strategies to minimize search latency and ensure smooth app performance during peak booking traffic.
 * Mentor and coach less experienced iOS developers on modern Swift best practices, clean architecture, and UI responsiveness.
