We are revolutionizing sports training with a cutting-edge app designed for sports academies. Our app, already live on Android and web, empowers coaches with seamless tools like innovative attendance tracking, player management, and performance analytics. We're now expanding to iOS to reach a broader audience and enhance the experience for our users.
Job Overview:
We are seeking a passionate and driven iOS App Developer Intern to join our team and help port our sports app from Android and web to iOS. This is an exciting opportunity to work on a real-world project, collaborate with a dynamic team, and contribute to a product that impacts football coaches and players. As an intern, you'll gain hands-on experience with iOS development, UI/UX design, and modern app features like offline sync and gesture-based interfaces.
Responsibilities:
Collaborate with the development team to port our existing Android and web-based sports app to iOS using Swift and/or SwiftUI.
Implement key features, including a gesture-based attendance system (e.g., disappearing tiles with student names/photos), offline data syncing, and push notifications.
Ensure the iOS app aligns with the existing UI/UX design while adhering to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
Optimize app performance for iOS devices, ensuring smooth animations and responsiveness (e.g., for 20-25 student rosters).
Integrate APIs and backend services (e.g., Firebase or custom REST APIs) for real-time data updates.
Assist in testing, debugging, and resolving platform-specific issues to ensure a seamless user experience.
Work closely with Android/web developers to maintain feature parity and code consistency.
Contribute ideas for iOS-specific enhancements, such as Apple Watch integration or voice mode using SiriKit.
Document code and processes to support future development and scalability.
Qualifications:
Current enrollment in a Bachelor's/Master's program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent self-taught experience).
Proficiency in Swift and/or SwiftUI for iOS app development.
Familiarity with iOS development tools like Xcode, Interface Builder, and Instruments.
Basic understanding of mobile app architecture (e.g., MVC, MVVM) and RESTful APIs.
Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git).
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Passion for sports or mobile app development is a plus.
Bonus: Experience with cross-platform frameworks (e.g., Flutter, React Native) or familiarity with Android/web app codebases.
Bonus: Knowledge of iOS-specific features like Core Animation, Core Data, or NFC/QR code integration.
What You'll Gain:
Hands-on experience building a production-ready iOS app for a real-world audience.
Mentorship from experienced developers and exposure to agile development workflows.
Opportunity to work on innovative features like gesture-based UI, offline sync, and potential integrations (e.g., facial recognition, geofencing).
A portfolio-worthy project impacting football academies.
Potential for future opportunities with FabSportsIndia based on performance.
Requirements:
Access to a Mac with the latest version of Xcode installed.
Ability to commit 20-30 hours/week for duration 2-3 months.
