Job Description
This is a full-time, hybrid Senior iOS Software Engineer role in London, generally three days a week in the office. The engineer joins the Consumer team, which handles the main point of contact for millions of users. The team's target is an experience that feels effortless, quick and dependable at every step.
The role carries technical leadership for the iOS app. The engineer shapes and grows the mobile architecture so the codebase stays modular, testable and simple to maintain, and sets the bar through code review and sound engineering habits.

The engineer partners with Product and Design to split large problems into parts and to plan a roadmap that balances new features against technical debt.
Developing others is included. The engineer supports colleagues' growth, guides technical choices and takes part in hiring to build a strong team.
The ideal candidate has solid time building iOS apps and fluency in Swift, Objective-C or both. They have scaled mobile architecture inside a large codebase, owned delivery in a cross-functional group, and worked with current frameworks including UIKit and Auto Layout. Well-tested code, CI/CD practice and an ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical people are also valued.
