iOS Engineer

Who you are

• You’re an iOS engineer with experience building and shipping polished production apps using Swift
• You have a solid understanding of iOS frameworks and native mobile development principles
• You’ve worked on modern, high-engagement apps and care about creating fast, intuitive experiences for customers
• Quality is central to how you work. You write maintainable code, value strong engineering practices, and take pride in improving reliability, testing and overall app quality
• You’re curious, collaborative and motivated by building products that make a meaningful difference for customers
• Experience applying mobile security best practices
• You have collaborated with Android engineers using Kotlin and/or React Native engineers

What the job involves

• We are a mobile-first bank, and our iOS app is a critical part of how customers experience Zopa
• Having recently completed our migration to fully native mobile, we are now focused on making our iOS platform exceptional: fast, reliable, accessible and easy for engineers to build on
• You’ll join our Mobile Platform team, which owns the shared capabilities that underpin the app, including architecture, shared modules, design system, observability, developer tooling and CI/CD
• The team’s role is not to own all technical decisions. It is to help shape the direction of mobile engineering at Zopa, create great developer experiences for our product teams, and make it easier for engineers to focus on customer problems rather than underlying technical complexity
• You’ll also be part of a strong iOS engineering community, contributing to standards, sharing knowledge and helping us continue to mature our native engineering practice
• Joining our Mobile Platform team, you will report to the Engineering Manager, and work alongside talented iOS engineers building the foundations of Zopa’s mobile experience
• Collaborate with the wider mobile community, including React Native engineers, to share best practice and make thoughtful decisions about native development
• Help make the Zopa app faster, more reliable and genuinely enjoyable to use—identifying bottlenecks, resolving bugs and improving performance where it matters most to customers
• Build and evolve customer-facing features that make the most of iOS’s native capabilities
• Partner closely with Product, Design and Backend teams to shape solutions from early idea through to a high-quality release
