Join us as an iOS Principal Engineer

We’re looking for a product-aware, iOS Principal Engineer with a passion for great UI and UX as well as an understanding of the need for tested and resilient code

You’ll be working on a private banking app that allows our clients to effectively manage their banking needs and your work will shape the way that they interact with their finances

Collaborating across various disciplines, you’ll test theories that will ultimately make a significant difference to our customers

Our app is written in Swift, utilising the MVVM architecture and as we gradually migrate to SwiftUI for all new journeys and features, you’ll help us utilise industry standard tools and technologies

What you'll do

As an iOS Principal Engineer, you’ll be creating great customer outcomes via engineering and innovative solutions to existing and new challenges, and technology designs which are innovative, customer centric, high performance, secure and robust.

You’ll be leading the more significant, complex and technically challenging assignments, coordinating multiple feature teams, making sure that their technical journeys support realisation of the targets, and deliver the values of the relevant metrics published to our investors.

You’ll also be:

Influencing our approach to mobile development and delivery, ensuring that we utilise the most suitable architectures while effectively interfacing with other connected banking services and APIs

Following and promoting Agile processes while working in, and with, squads of iOS engineers, Android engineers, back-end engineers, product owners, business analysts, solution architects, and quality assurance engineers

The skills you'll need

To succeed in this role, you’ll need experience as a senior iOS developer and you’ll understand, and be able to implement, computer science principles and best-practices. Along with strong leadership skills and experience operating in a matrix managed environment, you’ll have the ability to work with ambiguity and identify and define the exact solution when needed.

You’ll have worked on at least one app on the App Store and you’ll understand how apps are built and distributed via AppStore Connect. Ideally, you’ll have specifically worked on a banking app before, and understand how to implement best-practices in security to keep customer data safe.

You’ll also need:

Significant experience working on iOS apps

Up-to-date knowledge of Swift and SwiftUI with the drive to stay abreast of the latest features

A thorough understanding of CI/CD, ideally using GitLab, and an understanding of how to build and maintain pipelines
