Offshore mobile developer: a senior iOS or Android developer dedicated to your app

Smartphone screen displaying mobile apps

Experienced mobile developers are hard to recruit in France. MaaSil recruits an experienced or senior mobile developer for you, dedicated to your app. They join your product team, work in your native or cross-platform stack and handle your iOS and Android releases through to the stores.

What an outsourced mobile developer does

They take charge of your app's life cycle:

  • Features: new screens and user journeys, native or cross-platform.
  • Interfaces: integration of mockups in line with iOS and Android guidelines.
  • APIs: connection to your back end and to third-party services (payment, notifications).
  • Performance: speed, battery consumption and offline mode.
  • Quality: unit and UI tests, code review and crash monitoring.
  • Release: preparing builds, managing versions and submitting to the App Store and Google Play.
  • Maintenance: operating system updates, bug fixing and technical debt.

Which companies is this for?

This role suits app publishers, media companies, e-commerce players and start-ups for whom mobile is a key channel, and which have a CTO, a lead developer or a product owner to steer the work. It lets you strengthen an existing mobile team or bring in-house an app entrusted to an agency.

Skills and technologies

We only offer experienced and senior developers, technically tested before being presented to you. Depending on your stack, we look for profiles in:

  • iOS: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Objective-C.
  • Android: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Java.
  • Cross-platform: React Native, Flutter and Dart.
  • Services: REST and GraphQL APIs, Firebase, push notifications, in-app purchases.
  • Tools: Git, Xcode, Android Studio, Fastlane or Bitrise, Jira, and AI-based code assistants.

Frequently asked questions

Native or cross-platform: which profile should you choose?

If your app already exists in Swift or Kotlin, we look for a native developer on the right platform. For a React Native or Flutter base, or a single codebase for iOS and Android, we target a cross-platform profile.

Can they publish our apps on the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. You give them access to your Apple and Google developer accounts, with the rights you choose. They prepare the builds, manage versions and follow the store review.

How does day-to-day collaboration work?

Just like with an in-house developer: access to your repository, your tickets and your messaging, and participation in agile rituals. Your CTO or product owner steers their tasks.

How much does an offshore mobile developer cost?

The rate varies with the technology, seniority and working time. Recruitment, contract, payroll and equipment are included. See our rates on the Pricing page or request a quote.
