Job description

  • Build and ship features across key consumer banking product areas-including KYC flows, card management, savings, open banking consent, and payment experiences.
  • Write clean, testable Swift code and participate actively in code reviews to uphold high engineering standards across the codebase.
  • Contribute to and evolve the iOS app architecture, including modularisation, dependency management, and scalability patterns as the product grows.
  • Own performance and reliability by monitoring crash rates, proactively identifying issues, and driving app stability before they impact consumers.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Backend Engineers on API design, Product Managers on roadmap priorities, and Designers on seamless user experiences.

  • Solid understanding of RESTful API integration and experience working with backend engineers on API design.
  • Experience working with agile methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, and pair programming.
  • Deep care for user interaction, usability, and interface quality-you build things that feel great to use.
  • Ability to understand a large problem, design a solution, break it into deliverable chunks, and ship it independently.
  • Passion for clean, maintainable, and testable code and a genuine pride in your craft.
  • Mature, business-minded approach-balancing high-quality engineering with pragmatism in a fast-paced environment.
  • Self-driven and proactive nature, comfortable owning a domain with limited direct oversight.
  • Previous experience in payments, financial services, or fintech environments is a strong plus.
