What is Swift
Swift is a general-purpose language designed by Apple for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS to work with Apple’s Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks as well as Objective-C.
Swift combines different aspects of older programming languages to provide a clean and modern syntax that is safe yet still performant. It is an incredibly versatile language, making it the go-to option when developing apps for multiple Apple platforms.

What is a Swift Developer?
A Swift Developer is basically an iOS developer. However, they might also expand their knowledge to work on macOS and tvOS as well. They generally have at least some experience building apps for most Apple platforms.
Here at Trio, we focus on vetting and training Swift developers to meet high industry standards to ensure that they can handle diverse project requirements across most of Apple’s ecosystems.
In some rare cases, a Swift developer might have invested time learning Server-Side Swift as well as a web framework such as Kitura or Vapor.

Hire a Swift Developer
With iOS being the dominant mobile operating system in the United States, finding an iOS or Swift developer isn’t too difficult in comparison to their Android counterparts.
Even so, finding an iOS developer who can build a solid mobile app that performs well without unexpected crashes and bugs can be a bit of a challenge.
With all of the freelance marketplaces and job boards available, you’d think it would be easy to find your rockstar and get started. How do you go about deciding if a developer joins your team?
Additionally, because Swift is being used so widely, competition to find skilled developers is steep. This can make it challenging, despite the availability.
We have a great resource for you to check out that talks about how to hire developers.
How to hire a Swift developer?
For those who wish to take the high road and hire Swift developers on their own, we’re still here to help.
Hiring a developer on your own is a very focused and hands-on process that requires considerable knowledge about software development in general.
The last thing you want to do is trust your hiring process to someone with no technical ability. If you are a non-technical manager looking to learn a thing or two, we have a great resource here for you to learn more about the hiring process in detail.
Otherwise, we’d recommend you contact Trio for consulting and developer allocation.
Here at Trio, we offer consulting and developer allocation services that are specifically targeted to non-technical managers or teams fairly unfamiliar with the hiring process. We focus on building long term tech partnerships with you, so that you can find the best Swift developers efficiently.
What to look for in a Swift developer
At a high level, Swift developers should be able to:
- Be proficient with Swift
- Work extensively with the Foundation framework and other Apple frameworks
- Apply Object-Oriented Programming principles
- Write clean and readable code
- Understand various design patterns that Apple uses
- Have experience in various coding best practices

Hourly rates for Swift Developers
Another way to look at developer costs is through hourly rates. While salaries are good to understand for hiring developers for full-time and long-term, you might just need a developer for a period of 3-6 months or 6-12 months.
In these types of situations, it’s best to calculate your costs based on the hourly rates of a developer.
These hourly rates can be as low as $20-$40 per hour for a junior developer from Latin America to more than $90 for a software architect or other senior position from a country like the United States.
Below is a table that lists the various hourly rates of developers in different locations based on their job titles.
Our flexible pricing models can be adjusted based on your project length and scope. This flexibility is largely provided by taking advantage of hourly rates. This makes it very easy for you to scale your team in the most cost-effective manner.
Why Hire a Swift Developer
Trio Swift developers are pre-vetted, interviewed, and then trained further to become true software professionals, capable of adapting to situations that are both within and outside of the scope of their general expertise.
This makes them ideal for even the most complex projects.
At Trio, we hold our developers to a higher standard. Much like how elite special forces units recruit only the best from the main branches of the military, we recruit developers who either show amazing potential or demonstrate exceptional skill. We then take their talents and sharpen them even further.
Furthermore, we provide additional project management assistance, taking the burden off of our clients and ensuring smooth project execution from start to finish. This is an especially great option if you don’t have existing Swift expertise.
Another benefit of hiring a Trio developer is that you won’t incur the costs of hiring, which can add up to be around 30% of a developer’s salary on average, as well as overhead costs associated with full-time employment, while still benefiting from access to full-time, highly experienced developers.
By working with Trio, you can enjoy a highly experienced full-time developer for a fraction of the cost, along with the added project management assistance.
We can provide you with access to top-tier, thoroughly vetted Swift developers who are ready to handle whatever you throw at them with precision and professionalism.
