Job description
Hybrid This is your chance to shape how millions of travellers experience ads - without making them feel like, well… ads. You'll join our fast-growing App Monetisation team, building seamless, native advertising experiences that actually belong in the journey. Sitting at the crossroads of travel, data, and commercial tech, you'll help us design smart, privacy-first solutions that keep things relevant, performant, and (dare we say) enjoyable. It's part engineering craft, part experimentation playground, and part "how can we make this even better?" energy.
What you'll be doing
- Building Native Ad Experiences: Craft scalable, high-quality advertising components within the iOS app that feel like a natural part of the journey, not a detour
- Collaborating Across Teams: Partner with product, design, backend, data and commercial teams to deliver experiences that balance user value and business impact
- Evolving Ad Architecture: Contribute to ad-serving systems, creative rendering, and placement experimentation to keep things fast, flexible, and future-ready
- Driving Performance & Measurement: Own tracking, attribution and performance insights to help us understand what works (and what really works)
- Championing Privacy-First Development: Build with user trust front of mind, ensuring compliance with ATT, GDPR and best-in-class consent practices
- Experimenting & Iterating: Use testing, analytics and feature flags to continuously refine and improve ad experiences at scale
- Communicating with Clarity: Share ideas, context and technical decisions openly, helping teams move faster and smarter together
Requirements
- iOS Craftsperson: You've built complex, high-quality iOS apps using Swift and know your way around modern development practices
- Architecture-Savvy: MVVM, Clean Architecture… these aren't just buzzwords to you - they're how you build maintainable, scalable apps
- UI Fluent: Comfortable working with UIKit and SwiftUI to create polished, performant user experiences
- Ad Tech Curious: You've either worked with advertising tech or you're genuinely excited to dive in and learn fast
- Quality-Driven: You write modular, testable code with performance, accessibility and scalability baked in
- Experimentation-Minded: Familiar with CI/CD, analytics and feature flagging - and you love using data to guide decisions
- Collaborative & Curious: You enjoy working across disciplines, sharing knowledge, and constantly levelling up yourself and those around you
