We are looking for a Server-Side Swift Developer to join the backend team at Level Shoes. The team builds and operates the Vapor-based server-side Swift microservices powering Level Shoes iOS, Android and web storefronts across six GCC markets.

What you’ll be doing: design, develop and maintain scalable backend services in Swift using Vapor; own services end to end: design, implementation, code review, deployment and production health; build and maintain the RESTful APIs behind customer-facing commerce flows – accounts and authentication, catalogue, cart, checkout, payments and orders; ensure correctness across multiple stores and languages, where every request is scoped to a market; design and maintain integrations with third-party systems – commerce platform, order management, shipping and payments; build concurrency-safe, idempotent processing for operations that run across multiple service replicas; model data and optimise queries in MongoDB; implement caching and session strategies in Redis; implement and tune ElasticSearch-backed search and listing functionality; ship behaviour changes behind feature flags with staged, measured rollouts; investigate production issues from logs and metrics, and validate fixes with evidence; maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows on Kubernetes; explore AI-driven capabilities such as vector search for personalisation; and review teammates’ changes – all code is reviewed before merge regardless of seniority.

What you’ll need to succeed: 6+ years of professional software development experience, including at least 3 years building production backend services in server-side Swift (Vapor); prior iOS/macOS or backend experience in other languages is welcome for the remaining years; strong command of Swift concurrency, protocol-oriented design and Codable; demonstrable experience with concurrency, race conditions and idempotency in services running as multiple replicas; strong understanding of RESTful API design, authentication and token lifecycle; MongoDB in production, including data modelling, indexing and query performance; Redis for caching and session state; ElasticSearch for search and listing; experience integrating payment gateways and third-party APIs, including webhook-driven flows; Kubernetes: deploying and operating containerised services; Git, CI/CD pipelines and automated testing; Swift Package Manager for dependency management; and a strong grasp of performance, scalability and security best practices. E-commerce, payments or another domain where defects have direct financial consequences is a plus, as is integration experience with Magento or a comparable commerce platform, multi-tenant or multi-region systems, localisation beyond string swapping including right-to-left languages, AWS or another cloud platform, logging and monitoring tools such as New Relic, feature-flagging and progressive rollout platforms, Jenkins and Gerrit, and agile development methodologies.
